AndyRoo Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hello Does anyone know what the current delivery times for an Eglu Cube is? Reading a few things it seems like that it could be a couple of weeks? Are they built to order or something? I naively assumed that if I ordered one it'd be delivered in a week or something. Cheers, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamrhind Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I can't answer your question but I've always felt that delivery of any products from Omlet is too slow and leisurely, especially in these times of same-day deliveries. My first two chickens were given to me as a birthday present in a cardboard box, accompanied by enough food for one day, by a well meaning but clearly mentally deficient friend of mine. I then had a mad dash to try to get everything needed to provide a good home for them, and I found the slow delivery times from Omlet maddening. Things haven't improved since then...

AndyRoo Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Okay, thanks. I had read that a few times. I just gave them a call to double-check. Apparently delivery within the UK should take around 3 days at the minute if sent by courier. If you want a van delivery with someone to do the assembly for you, then it can take a few days longer. 3 days doesn't seem too bad. I was a bit nervous about ordering anything now, I was going to wait until we've moved house and then order ASAP. I'd like to get it set-up before autumn really sets in.

AndyRoo Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Having said that, I have now been told that the Eglu cubes are available now, but the runs won't be available until mid-September! I can only imagine why it takes 2 months. I can only assume that Omlet don't keep stock of many things on a typical basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I waited 5 weeks for my cube and it was due for delivery in the Friday before my hens were coming on the Sunday. I had an absolute nightmare, Friday morning half of the order came and the other half went about 100 miles away to a totally different sorting centre. I am sorry to say customer service was awful until I emailed and Made a complaint but thank goodness Royal Mail really pulled it out of the bag once they knew I was getting rescue hens!

Grandmashazzie Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Just a thought Andyroo, have you looked at Flyte so fancy . I got my WIR from there. I have go up and classic in it. I much preferred it to Omlets WIR as it is more rodent resistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoo Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yes, I looked on Flytes of fancy, I just don't like them so much. I thought the neighbours might be more opposed to something slightly more obvious like those ones... that being said, the only thing at the back of the garden right now is a big ugly wooden hut which is essentially abandoned and desperately needs TLC anyway.
