Richard Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Oh no ... Omlet have just rung and my Cube won't be arriving on 23rd after all. It will be, they say, a week later. Something about the factory in Tenbury Wells (is there a place called that?) that makes the plastic being flooded or something. This is terrible - I managed to wangle a day off work on 23rd so I could be here. I can't do the same on the 30th and will have to rely on my OH to check it out and take delivery. Oh poo! I really do hope there aren't any further delays (although if they flooded I will understand as it's a nasty situation to be in). Presumably everybody in the queue is being delayed or (natural paranoia showing through ...) am I the only one?

Egluntyne Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) "The factory in Sheffield" That is the first I've heard of that!!!!! Chocchick...are you there? This post doesn't make sense now! Richard originally thought the factory was in Sheffield! Edited July 2, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 My OH answered the phone as I was in the garden. I've just checked and it was 'the factory in Tenbury Wells that makes the plastic'. A lady called Cloe phoned us up from Omlet. Sorry - mistake in communication between me and the Boss. I am rather deaf and was obviously not really listening once I'd realised the Cube wasn't arriving as planned. I'll edit the original post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Dont worry Richard im sure you are not the only one & after all it will be worth the wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm just a spoilt kid really - its not a massive delay and as you say, it will be worth it when it comes. It won't inconvenience me at all, I'm just being unreasonably impatient. Its been one of those Mondays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallina Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 That is so disappointing. It must be very annoying for Omlet too, just when they were getting on top of orders. You can read about the floods in Tenbury Wells here, but they don't mention any plastics factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 yes they have been flooded and Mikey was told this last week. It's added to the delays, but beyond their control It'll all be sorted soon fingers crossed. BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiglet Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 No you're not the only one Richard, mine was due today but got a call last week and now it's coming on the 17th. It was ordered on May 5th!!!!!!!! But at least I took the opportunity to add 2 new chooks with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi everyone, Got a call on Monday to say that my cube will be delayed a week. So it's now due on 14th August. I'll have to change my profile. I'm not too bothered though as I'm chicken sitting for a fellow Omleteer in August, so that will be exciting & take away some of my disappointment. My sister also wants me to hatch her out some guinea fowl for on her farm. Charlie the white guinea fowl needs a mate! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam42 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 looks like Tenbury Wells is badly flooded again. Hope this doesn't affect your cube deliveries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Our cube was supposed to be delivered on the 24th but they had to postpone it till the 31st due to floods too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Oh I really really hope that there are no furthur delays! My cube was ordered 30th May and is now due 14th August. I don't think I could handle a further delay - I think I'd have to go out & buy my new chookies & bantams & just let them have a room in our house & a four poster bed whist I'm at it!!!!!
