I had a bad cage buying expereience...the packaging was horible and the cage came all scratched and dented and hanging out of the box. I am looking at ordering from here instead

Has anyone ordered from this place? And please tell me the packaging is good!!

I think people have... just not sure who lol...

i'm sure others will be along shortly..thats a beautiful cage though!

I'd be cautious about the bar spacing though...

I have not but it looks like a nice cage. The bar spacing is a bit wider than I would like to have for a QP.

Who did you order from that had crummy packaging?

I ordered my a cage from them.

They ship via DHL, which is notorious for not being careful.

My packaging came a bit banged up, but the cage inside was just fine.

I did have one bent part, emailed them, and they sent a replacement ASAP.

So they do have good customer service.

Shipping is not their fault, its the carriers, and once you see how big the box is, etc you will understand why they occasionally don't make it, and really can't be packed much better either...

That my .02 cents I would recommend them.

I ordered the smaller version of that same cage from them and everything was fine. The packaging was fine, and I thought the cage was of good quality. I also think they have the best pricing out there. I agree with a previous poster about the bar spacing - that 3/4 is a little wide for a quaker, but there are some people who disagree with me.

if you have a large quaker some have 3/4 bar spacing and everything is fine.. personally.. i wouldn't take the risk and we kept with a 5/8 bar spacing for our cage and it works out well..

definitely great prices there though!

It is a nice cage. We bought out HQ cage from queencitypets.com. Pretty much the same price. I bought a dome top type cage with extra space at the top. I don't open the top, but it gives my birds extra room to put their sleepy hut and toys. The ad says it is 3/5 bar spacing, but it isn't. It is 5/8 and it works just fine.

Thanks for all the concerns...its not for my quaker, its for my sun conure so the spacing will be fine. That is what she was in before and she is a good climber..nothing stops her, plus she is bigger than my quaker and still growing.

I think the UPS people were not the ones who banged it up. It was packed REALLY REALLY BAD! The bubble wrap was really old (dirty and flimsy) and nothing was wrapped well. I would understand if the box was a little beat up because of how heavy the stuff it. The cage I am sending back was over 50 pounds! But none of the corners were protected and everything got scratched...hopefully it will work out better.

Side note...I set the cage up to see how the dimensions worked out and everything and my quaker though it was for him...he was beyond ecstatic and would not get out of the cage!! He was so happy exploring it and was dancing and everything. I feel really bad that the cage isn't for him!! Oh well that cage is gone..maybe he wont like the new one lol.
