Roobaloo Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Had the prices risen slowly on a yearly basis as have the price of the composite materials,would everyone be complaining as loudly I wonder ? Of course they wouldn't, but that's because small annual increases can be absorbed by most budgets...if you can afford a £350 hen house, you probably can afford £370....but £450?

Janty Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Also, what I was complaining about was the fact that I had been asked by husband if I wanted a cube for my Christmas present so I telephoned Omlet to see if the price increase was really going ahead. I was told that no price increase was planned and then the next day the newsletter was published announcing the price increase. If I had not come onto the forum for a while I would have missed out on the cheaper price as they only gave a weeks notice for the price increase.

chickenNutter Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Have ordered another classic, but looking on the website, they haven't changed the prices. I thought it was 10th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currant Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I ordered a cube yesterday to beat the increase and tbh the pricing section has risen but via the 'introduction' it is still the same as yesterday! on order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Just out of interest how do the chic cube prices compare now, they will also make to your own specific specs? Hate te look of them myself and as i now have 4 and a horrid spare Go I cannot forsee needing to buy again. Although I still HAVE to check the for sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwren Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I have been saving up for a cube for a long time now and I finally have to admit that I am never going to be able to afford one. I have been looking at the prices for all the modern hen houses and so far the chic cube is looking the most economic at £349 and that includes the extra large run. I love the look of the omlet cube but it is waaaayyy outta my price range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Lamb Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 wow! I managed to buy a secondhand cube from the Omlet club. I was going to buy new, with the price going up meant secondhand was best for me. I can't thank the previous family enough for my cube . lusty and angel Lemon cuckoo Pekin Beauty and pride Australorp Bantams Randy, lucky,Rom,star, phoenix Colunbian Pekins (broder's) 3 week old x3 Serama's , 3 week old x3 Sablepoots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the look of the omlet cube but it is waaaayyy outta my price range You can get the cube second hand - I got mine through here, for £300 all the bits and run, + delivered and set up for me, if you look long enough you too can own a cube and they are great! Good luck if you decide to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sezra Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 I just wanted to say that I didnt mean to cause any controversy over my post. I was not aware that no one else knew and was not told that it was an unknown fact. I haven't logged on for a while and was quite surprised how many posts had been added since I last checked! I didnt want to be thought of as someone who posts things to cause trouble (can't remember the proper name!). Sadly I have given up for now on a cube but I may still keep an eye on ebay sales, just incase a bargain appears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
