NSW Collection and Delivery Information

COLLECTION FROM SYDNEY

Our business is based in NSW, and during 2013 we will be moving out of our factory in Blacktown and moving to a premises which is still under development in Gosford. This means that for the first six months of 2013 we will have a workspace and storage area located in the Somersby Industrial Estate which will not be open to the public whilst it is still being built.

Therefore, I can arrange to meet you or your driver 'on the side of the road' somewhere between Somersby and Hornsby (as I still live in Sydney), but until June 2013 it will not be possible to pick up a chicken tractor from our place of business. If I do meet you as described above there will be no handling or freight charges.

Our business hours vary from week to week, but we are generally in the factory unless we are at one our regular tradeshows. The best thing to do is call us on 04300 16044, and if we are in the city we'll meet you at the factory at a time convenient to you.

 

GREATER SYDNEY LOCAL AREA DELIVERY

We do a weekly local area home delivery service scheduled for every Thursday. Delivery of a Chicken Tractor or Coop is $66. Backyard, Standard and Master models are delivered assembled, but Jumbo models are delivered flat-packed (it is too large when assembled to be legally carried on the back of a ute or trailer). Generally speaking our local delivery area includes the Hawkesbury, lower Blue Mountains and Camden.

We can also arrange for your Jumbo model to be assembled by the driver, but this will need to be arranged a few days before the delivery. Assembly of the Jumbo costs an extra $50, and you will need to be home at the time of assembly. (You do not need to assist for the majority of the time, but there are a couple of bolts that require an extra hand). 

If you’d like to see our products before purchase, we do attend the Farming Small Areas Expo (Richmond in November) and we will probably attend the Camden Show each March from 2013 onwards.

 

DELIVERY INSIDE NSW AND THE ACT

As we are based in New South Wales, we have multiple delivery and pick-up points. For delivery information specific to your location, please click through to one of the areas below -

South Coast, including Wollongong, Canberra and Southern Highlands

North Coast, including Central Coast and New England

All areas of Inland NSW west of the Dividing Range

 

Please note, we can always arrange delivery direct to a business or factory address which has unloading facilities. Therefore, if none of the delivery options included in the following pages suit you, but you have a relative who works at a business which regularly unloads trucks, ask us for a freight quote to that specific location.

Also, if it just has to be delivered to door, and you aren't fussed about cost we can have it delivered anywhere in NSW ex-Sydney for $1.50 per km, or ex-one of the depots listed below for $2.50 per km provided you assist the driver at the unloading end.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO READ THE FINE PRINT FIRST, THEN READ ON. OTHERWISE FEEL FREE TO BROWSE OUR WEBSITE FIRST AND COME BACK TO READ THIS INFORMATION LATER.

Further information - not only about our chicken coops and tractors, but also information on how to order, details about the delivery process and other information - specifically those questions I get asked about our products from time to time.

Firstly pricing - you will find the prices of all of our products by going to the "Online Store". All of our chicken tractors and chicken coops are itemised in this area. The reason that we don't have prices on every page is that if we need to change the pricing for whatever reason, it is easier to change the price of a chicken coop by changing it once in the online shop area of the website rather than editting the entire website. So don't be afraid - go to the Online Store and process an order to see how much it costs. Nothing is final until you pay and there are no traps to try and make you purchase unless you want to! It is fair to say here that the price of our smallest chicken coop is $499, and our biggest chicken tractor is $1299. A fox floor costs extra and freight depends on where you live.

Secondly, chooks. I don't supply them and I don't know who your local poultry breeder is. When I need chooks I buy them from Barter and Sons Hatchery in Luddenham (West Sydney), and I can recommend them but if you live in Adelaide or Wagga Wagga then I have no idea where to get chickens from - Sorry!

Thirdly, Delivery. Our chook sheds are BIG. They are not designed to be put in a shopping trolley and pushed to the car. Our smallest chicken coop weighs at least 55kgs, and the biggest chicken tractor is just over 150kgs. Because of this the only logical way to transport our chicken coops is by general freight, not door-to-door couriers and not Australia Post. Therefore we need to send our chicken coops to a location which has a forklift so it can be unloaded from the truck. Our normal course of business is to send the chicken coops to one of the depots listed above. (Click on your state on the map of Australia at the top of the page for more information). If the depots which we use are in inconvenient locations for you, and you don't mind paying extra we can deliver it to ANY location in Australia as long as the location has a forklift.

And finally, why do I call them Chicken Tractors? Well, I just dont know - thats what everyone calls a mobile chicken coop for some reason. It looks like the term originates from the USA where they also call them 'chicken arks', but if you ask me calling them chicken tractors is just fine and dandy. I know what I mean anyway.
