Adventure pack!!!

[chimaysmommy]

Just ordered it today!! I'm really excited...I had gone to www.flyingsouth.com and saw that they were having an $80.00 off sale, and my total purchase after the mosquito netting and shipping was $118.00

[danmcq]

Congratulations, that sounds like a steal! :-)

[JillyBeanz]

That is absolutely fantastic - they ship to the UK too!! Only, the UK isn't as "parroty" as the US & Canada and I think if I walked up the street with that on my back I'd get some funny looks!!! So, until I save up to move over there, I'll just have to wait for your photos!!

[casper]

I know what you mean lol.

I take one of the greys to pick my kids up from school everyday, you should see the looks I get:laugh:

I tell the kids when they get embarrased, your different, everyone elses mum turns up with a dog, I turn up with a parrot:laugh:

[JillyBeanz]

OMG - you don't!! Those poor kids! Social Services will be involved shortly :laugh:

 

I took Harvey in the front garden one day while I was weeding (our house faces onto a cycle track) and a woman walking her dog asked me if he was a pigeon! Until the UK catches up with the US & Canada we'll just have to be those "odd ladies with the birds!!". :lol:

I hope the adventure pack arrives soon and you get lots of fun with it.

What a great deal, Cindy. Can't wait to hear how Chimay likes it!!!

[Tycos_mom]

Don't feel bad I live in Canada and everytime I take Adaya Out I get asled if she's a pigeon all the time and one day this little kid asked me if my bird was a pigeon and his mom said no dear that a Macaw HEE HEE

[chimaysmommy]

Ha ha ha! Are they still doing that to you? Since when do pigeons have big ol beaks and bright red tails?

[judygram]

That really was a good deal on that adventure pack, I know you will really like it when you get it.

[chimaysmommy]

Thanks guys! I can't wait!! Just waiting to get my shipping notification which, according to the site, will happen within 48 hours. Crossing my fingers!

{Feel-good-00020114}Happy to hear about the sale price! Please let us know if you like it.

[chimaysmommy]

Yay!! I just received confirmation that my Pack should be shipping out sometime today or tomorrow. They did talk me into a replacement canvas and 3 more mosquito nets for $39.00 marked down from $55.00. I'm such a sucker :blink: Ha ha

Thats great that you got the adventure pack! Make sure to take pics of Chimay in it. I hope he likes it. B)

Congrats on getting your Adventure Pack! My baby doesn't ocme home until late October but I got one to transport him and so he can go along when we walk the dogs. His breeder is training him for the aviator harness, but I like that the back pack can be fastened into the car seat and he can ride along on trips in it too. I would love to know how your bird gets along with yours.

Okay guys, I'm REALLY not at all impressed with this Flying South company. It's been 12 days since my order date, and I've been told on 3 different occasions that my Pack is ready to ship. The last time they told me was on the 8th, saying that it would ship the 10th. So Friday rolls around, and I call FedEx asking them to track my package by my name/address since Flying South can't seem to get my login on their site to reflect my purchase/tracking history. Lo and behold, nothing was on its way to me.

 

SO I wrote a fairly stern email to them, reminding them of the 2 previous promises of shipment and (seeing as how they've already billed me for both the Pack and their upsell for the additional canvas and mosquito nets) that I do expect a shipment soon. They emailed back apologizing, saying that they've been busy with the sale that they've been having. Here's my argument:

 

The promotion at the time read "Next 50 packs sold are $80.00 off retail." CLEARLY they did not adhere to stopping the promotion after 50 packs sold...it's just a gimmick to get people to purchase the packs at this $110.00 sale price (as I did). If they had, then it's pathetic that these 50 sale units are bogging them down so badly. They do have it clearly printed on their site that purchases "ship within 48 hours." 48 hours my a$$.

 

This is the LAST time I ever purchase from this company, regardless of how awesome the Adventure Pack does/doesn't turn out to be. I also find it unsettling that their phone number on their site has been disconnected. Too many complaint calls perhaps?

[Eckobird]

Oh no I am sorry to hear all the trouble you are going through Cindy! How frustrating that must be! I hope they work everything out and you recieve your adventure pack soon!

[chimaysmommy]

I really hope so too...I think I may give it until the end of this week to get an actual shipping notification before I just ask them to cancel my order and give me my money back

[lovethatgrey]

Sorry to read about all your grief and aggravation with the Flying South Company. I had already written a post about their substandard follow up and terrible service. I guess you did not have a chance to read it and I am very sorry that you are experiencing a bad client experience too. I will never do business directly with FLYING SOUTH. They are pretty bad.

[Medic3709]

That is an excellent deal, I have had mine for about two weeks now, baby comes home in 3 days, oh the wait. I am using it to go pick it up, good luck with yours.

Cindy,

 

Should this not work out for you and you are able to get your money refunded, have you considered the Pak-o-Bird by Celltei?

I've just ordered mine and it is more expensive than what you've spent but I found the customer service fantastic.
