Those who have ordered from Ideal

[chicken quartet]

Thanks guys for all the help and input. I really can't wait to get my new babies. I'm just so frustrated with all the money mess up. The bank said they would reverse the charges but need to wait and see until the transactions actually post. It has been such a headache and there's nothing I can do about it.

But on the bright side, I'm getting 2 BR, 2 EE, 2 SLW, 1SLW,1 Buckeye, and 1 RIR. I was REALLY hoping they would be here tomorrow.

I guess I'll just try and plan on Friday.

Comerrick~ What breeds did you order?? I'll send you super fast shipping vibes!

7 EE Pullets. Oh this post is getting me sooooo excited! The Mail lady told me they will probably call at 5am when they arrive. I said, "GREAT, I'll send my early riser husband!" LOL! ACK! I'm soooo excited!

I've never dealt with Ideal but I will warn readers of some venders. I won't use the company name but I was quoted a shipping cost through email and once I received my bank statements I noticed I was overcharged by $14. I'm glad I caught it. I called the company and they said they would credit my account. I haven't received my second statement yet to confirm that they credited my account but it's definitely something to watch out for. Not just buying chickens either...with any online purchasing. It pays to be aware.

I got my chicks the day after they were shipped

Just wanted to give you a heads up. For some reason, distance doesn't seem to have much to do with it. I'm 6 hours away from Ideal and it took 2 days to get mine; whereas I've talked to people clear across the country from Ideal (in Cameron, TX) that have gotten their chicks in one day.

Well, maybe there is some hope then that I will get mine tomorrow. I really hope so. It's killing me!!!! I'm so impatient!

Hey got mine today! So that was in one day and I'm all the way in Jersey.

(dark brahma bantams in case anyone was wonderin')

It really depends on what planes the PO can get the chicks on. They can't always get the same planes at the same time, since they dont own all the planes they use, so even if your neighbor got their chicks in 2 days you could get yours in 1. Also deoends somewhat on how far you are from the hatchery. (obviously) They do try and move chicks right along through though, the PO really good about that.

 

[comerrick]

Nope, not today. So tomorrow it is. Oh the wait!!!!

goldensunriseranch ~ I'm so jealous!!! I haven't got mine yet and it's killing me!! Post pictures of your new babies!

BTW... BofA FINALLY took care of my account today. The first lady would only refund the first overdraft charge and said I had to pay the other one! WHAT?!? I said well, no that doesn't work for me, I want to talk to your supervisor. He gave me back my $$$ which he should have done. Why should I have to pay fees when it wasn't my fault!?!

Anyway, I'm happy now and just waiting for my chickies!
