Shipping Information and Options

Delivery

Within greater Sydney

Delivery is $50 to northern Sydney and $60 to southern Sydney. The delivery charge includes setting up in your yard and as much time as you need to answer all your questions (and build your confidence in your new venture).

Deliveries on Sydney’s outskirts (no offence meant if you live there but it is further away for us) such as Penrith/Lapstone, Campbelltown, Windsor etc cost $80.  Note: it is not always possible to arrange delivery to these areas (and a flatpack may be offered).

Delivery to other areas further afield (such as Wollongong and parts of the Central Coast, the Southern Highlands and the Blue Mountains) is usually best done by buying a flatpack coop.

Please Note:  Delivery charges assume we can carry the coop to your yard directly.  Even the standard coop is too wide to fit through a standard household door and the XL is just plain huge.  If in doubt, please let us know beforehand and we can bring a cordless screwdriver to dismantle the coops and reassemble them in the yard.  We charge an extra $10 for the time to do this.  Understandably, if you don’t let us know and we have to take the coop home with us we have to hit you up for a second delivery fee.

Outside greater Sydney

Rentachook has an account with Vicfast Couriers that allows us to arrange very reasonably priced freight for country NSW, ACT, VIC and SA. We can also do freight to QLD, NT, Tas and WA as you can see in the table.

Feed

If you are buying our fantastic Certified Organic Stockfeed only you have two options:

  1. Pickup from us
  2. Delivery by courier
We can courier it to you anywhere in Sydney, Blue Mountains, Illawarra, Central Coast and even Newcastle and surrounds (with a few exceptions) for $10 delivery per bag.

Pickup

We are happy for customers to pick up their coop and chooks directly from us in Ryde, thus saving the delivery fee.

For this you will need a ute, a box trailer, an armoured progeny carrier (or did I mean 4WD urban-assault vehicle), or roof racks. The coops are larger than they look.

We can also prepare the coop for transport (like a flatpack) in a full size station wagon such as a Camry or Commodore.  You need to check the space you have in your car/APC against the coop dimensions (in flatpack form) here:

Assembled coops are 950mm high for the standard coop and 1250mm high for the XL, if you are thinking it might fit in your car/van/troop carrier.

When coming to pickup please bring a box to put the chooks in, a cardboard box like a wine carton will do.  If you bring a wine carton we will take the wine out and put the chooks in (Barossa red preferred thankyou).
