Megazorb Supplier Farmway Closed...other places to purchase Megazorb?

Cathii · 05-11-2012, 12:21 PM

Sorry if there has already been posts on this, but I don't have much time to look!
Basically, Farmway Online (where I order Megazorb from) has closed and the nearest Farmway store to me is 192 miles away according to their website :/ We cannot possibly go all that way for some hamster and guinea pig bedding so...

Where else can I get it cheap? Megazorb.co.uk is quite expensive and I need something a little cheaper. I love the bedding and but I need another cheaper supplier.

What is your version of expensive?

For me I consider this to be on the edge of cheap/affordable and it is £12.48 with delivery

Megazorb - Wood Pulp Horse Bedding

That is actually quite a good price for online. If i brought some from my local farm shop it would cost me nearly £9 so its only £3.50 more expensive

If you order from milbury hill.. please be aware they use yodel

I ordered 2 bags. 1 turned up next day, other took 2 weeks as it was sat in there depot.

I use the hay experts, two bags for £24/22.. or something, always turn up really well for me (turned up well in surrey and in stoke).. think they use DSL, who text you giving you a two hour window and making sure that's ok for you etc

really good.
Never bought one bag though..

Well I think I worked out that 1 bag would cost me about £18 (I think) but I will have a look at the Hay Experts because I just looked up Yodel online and it was a 1.1 out of 10 rating from thousasnds of reviews! :/ That can't be a good sign. I don't really want to take the risk.

Yeh Yodel are shocking :O
They have been on watchdog too BBC - Watchdog: Yodel: New name, but delivering the same old problems? lol

So yeah, If you order anything, ask the seller first

Megazorb 85L

These people use Fedex.

The email reply i got from them in just under 3 hours..
"Hi, No we use Fedex,
We use to use Yodel but for obvious reasons we now no longer do.
Thank You"

Works out just over £12 a bag

I bought it once online (ratrations i believe) but it was really expensive :/ Now we just take a 'day out' to southampton to buy 6 bags at a time from a guinea pig rescue :P It's only about £7 a bag.. too bad there aren't any more local places >_<

The above-linked http://www.millburyhill.co.uk has free delivery on all orders up to 30kg and above £40. Their bag of Megazorb is 15kg and they currently have it at £7.49. So you are stuck to buying 1 bag with £32.51 to spend. Hard to see what else is worth buying here though (for small animals at least) - they don't even have a great cage selection, and mainly do food.

It could be worth somebody in a populated area buying 60 bags at £390 (or a similar deal somewhere).
