How to Pick Up your New Eglu

If you want to collect your order rather than have it delivered you can.  Here’s how you do it and some of the commonly asked questions:

1. Decide what you want to order (we’d suggest one of everything!! :))

2. The DAY BEFORE you want to pick up your order, order online or call 02 81034124

3. The day AFTER your order, call the warehouse on 02 8882 5400 to confirm what time between 8am and 3:30pm (Monday to Friday) you will collect your order. Take your order number with you and go to:

ACR Supply Partners
12 Distribution Drive
Orchard Hills
NSW 2748

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I collect my order on the weekend? 
  No sorry, the warehouse is only open Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm.
• It’s a long weekend are you open on the public holidays?
  No sorry.
• What happens if I am running late, do I need to call and tell Omlet?
  The warehouse is a third party that we use, it isn’t owned by Omlet, sometimes they are there later than 4pm, but we cannot guarantee it.  It is up to you if you still go or if you go another day, you don’t need to let us know.
• Can I see any of the Omlet products assembled at the warehouse?
  No sorry, it is literally just a warehouse with boxes of products in it.
• Can I pay at the warehouse?
  No sorry, there is NO Omlet office at the warehouse and therefore no one to take payment.
• Will someone call or email to tell me that my order is ready for collection?
  Yes, we will email you to let you know you can pick it up.  If for some reason it has been a few days and you haven’t collected your order we will probably give you a call to check that you didn’t select collection by mistake.
• When I order online it wants my address why is that?
  You do need to put in your address when you order online even if you are picking it up so that we can check your credit card against your address.
• Can I send someone else to collect my order?
  Yes of course, just make sure they have your name and order number.
• Will my order fit in my car?
  It is best to check on the page of the item you are ordering, at the bottom of the page it will tell you the box dimensions so that you can work out if it will fit.
• Do I have to lift the boxes into my car?
  Usually the warehouse guys will help you, unless they are very busy.

Arrrrhhh There are no Eglu Cubes now what? The Alternatives

As you will have seen on the website we are currently out of stock of the Eglu Cube…. and because they are made in the UK it does take a while to get more over here.  We do have a container bursting full of Cubes arriving mid January, but if you can’t wait until then I thought I’d give you some alternatives.  The Eglu Cube houses up to 10 chooks (depending on their size) so the options below will do the same… (more…)

Do Plastic Chicken Houses get hot?

I get asked this question A LOT, and the answer is yes plastic chicken houses do get hot in the heat, but so do wooden ones.  Just because a chook house is made from plastic it doesn’t mean that it will heat up more and boil your chooks.

With the Omlet Eglu houses they are double insulated, which means that they keep the inside of the house cooler in summer and warmer in winter.  Now to clarify the double insulation in summer does not mean that your chickens will be living in a fridge!  It is probably around 5 -10 degrees cooler in the house versa outside depending on where the house is situated.

Eglu Go UP with 3m run gets Support!

The Eglu Go UP usually comes with a 2m run, however you can buy it with an extra 1m run extension, if you do this, then the run gets a bit wobbly when you put it together…..  Which is why you get 2 green poles to attach to the outside of the run to make it more stable.

Unfortunately at the moment the instructions you get with the 1m run extension doesn’t explain this, so people get left with 2 poles and wonder what they are for 🙁

In the diagram here you can see where to put the 2 poles – one each side of the run where the long red line is. (more…)
