Little Gifts Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I have been using the online site Paws for Life to buy my kibble in bulk and finally got myself to what I think is a regular delivery schedule from a supplier with reasonable rates. But every single delivery has been late and now I am actually going to run out of the Black Hawk one (already ran out of the Advance Seniors) and I am really not sure what to do. We'd be fine if the deliveries matched our repeat order timeframe. Changing my pei's diet for a short period is the last thing I want to do but I can't exactly go out and buy a small bag of black hawk to see me through. Extremely disappointed in my supplier now when I think of the flow on effect of this for my girl. None of my local pet shops stock either of the items I use. Has anyone else used this company over the longer term (I've only been using since January) and had similar issues or better luck? Does anyone have a company they'd consider more reliable for regular deliveries who also have reasonable prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Gifts Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Just had a look and they are a smidge more expensive for the black hawk (or Canidae) and we'd have to get a better and more expensive seniors kibble (no Advance on their site) but it's better than no kibble! They've already charged me for my current order so I think it will be chicken, rice and vegetables for the fur kids for a few days until the delayed kibble arrives. What a terrible 'First World Problem' my dogs are experiencing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Crazy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Another natural pet store user here for our dry dog food & it's on my door step with in 2 days of me placing the order & I'm on north of Newcastle. All this for a fantastic $5 delivery fee. Edited April 11, 2013 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) If I do get kibble I buy it from the Natural Pet Store (I buy Taste of the Wild grain-free) but if you want to check the prices perhaps try Omars, I get Advantix from them and their prices are pretty good. Here is the link to their dog food page--> http://ovedshorseand...s/Dog-Food.html Edited April 11, 2013 by Boronia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Omar's have very cheap Black Hawk prices! I will contact them re delivery prices for large bags though as they use Aust Post for smaller stuff and that can take time. DOL is fantastic for useful information!!!!

minxy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I've been using Paws for Life for maybe.. 6 months or so now? They've been great every time. I have it set up so that every 4 weeks I automatically get sent out a bag of dog food for Kyojin and two bags of kitty litter. My order was charged on Monday and arrived today. Three days is the longest it's ever taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobieMum Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I use Pet Connection and as long as you spend over $80 delivery is free to Ippy by courier. They're wonderful, I ring and order and tell them when the money is going in and it's there the day after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's brilliant!!!! Guess where I'm off to tomorrow! Edited April 11, 2013 by Little Gifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertrude139 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I have been using Paws for Life for a while now and always found their service very good, next day delivery. I don't use Black Hawk... but, my Mum just placed her first order with them 2 weeks ago, and she ordered Black Hawk, I think it took a week to arrive, we live at the same address to I don't know why delivery too so much longer for her. Perhaps they have changed something recently? Although my last order was only about a month and a half ago I think. Or perhaps this is an issue specific to Black Hawk?

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks for that link to Natural Pet Store, that's brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Paws for Life sent me an email saying I would have my delivery last Friday. Of course it didn't turn up. They stupidly sent me a customer satisfaction survey. They may be sorry about that when they read it - wrong timing for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
