Well I hope you do cos Purrs now has a paying link through to Zooplus at the bottom of all pages.
If you click the site through the link we will get 5% of the cost of your order to go to the list of rescues we are compiling on Purrs ;D ;D
So Rescues who have received a questionnare, please get them back to me asap cos I would really like to announce the list by the Purrs birthday on 15 November ;D
Gooooooooooo to zooplus and buy buy buy :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
I do and I will
thankyou
-
Oh another way to part me from my wages, now less things in favourites!
The Clan Cats eat £200 per month from Zooplus so it will be nice to make another donation for their eating habits!!!! :Crazy:
-
Excellent I'll be using it in about weeks time :)
-
I don't really buy anything from there anymore but my mum buys all her cat litter from Zooplus so I'll tell her about the link
-
Thank you and we look forward to earning some money from zooplus for our rescues ;D
-
I get the boys wet food from there ;D Liz, that's fanatsti c- just your regular shop will donate £10 a month to the Purrs rescue fund :wow:
-
oh wow!! :wow: such good news!
ummm - is it me or is purrs taking over the world??? i love it and long may it continue!!! you guys just keep impressing me! ;D
-
We have started hounding companies ;) ;) ;)
but seriously we are trying our best to see if we can get extra money for rescues to add to all that you generous peeps give us :hug: :hug:
-
That's great news. I get my litter and most of my food from there (well, the boys' food not mine, but you know what I mean!). Nice to know Purrs rescues can now benefit :yes:
-
I have never bought from them, but now i will go to the site and see if they have everything i need. :)
-
They sell all sorts of nice things :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
What brilliant news! Fantastic!
-
I do and Christmas is coming! (Liz I hope your food bill of 200 is not the total for the month if it is my total of 70 for just 4 makes me think I am doing something wrong)
-
STOP PRESS
Ummmmmmmmm hope to be posting something else about this soon..............watch for a new shop post :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
you tease!
-
Just to note the Clan Cats eat 10 tine of wet food - Sunday to Friday and on a Saturday eat 50 sachets of wet food as a treat and 2.5 kgs of biscuits and that just the cats the dogs food gets topped up when the bowls are empty or when Sky has picked up the bowl and tipped the food everywhere - his party trick is then to bring the empty bowl and drop it on your foot!
-
I have never ordered from Zooplus but I am going to start.
Only 1 question though,does it work the same if your order is a mix of dog and cat food or does it all have to be cat food only? :)
-
You can buy what you wish, its the clicking through the link that earns the commission and of course the final bill price which should be big :rofl: ;D
-
Placed an order, got half of it and should get the other half on Saturday.
Which I'm paying an extra £12 for.
I have got to teach the cats to answer the door and sign for packages!
Update: Zooplus have very kindly offered to refund me £12 for the extra cost of delivery!
Which means in future I'll be sending all parcels to his work address.
-
Iv always found the customer service good, the only moan i have is the state of the boxes! They need more tape on them/less weight :tired:
-
Ha till the other thread about ripped boxes my (about 9) deliverys had always turned up in excellent condition but the last one had split, been repaired with tape and was 3 cartons of bozita short, but customer service is great and my shortfall has been covered :)
-
Iv always found the customer service good, the only moan i have is the state of the boxes! They need more tape on them/less weight :tired:
My one box of 2 bags of cat litter (my husband complained of the weight) had one of those plastic bands around it
-
My litter gets bubble wrap on top but the tins rattle around loose :rofl:
Iv only had one order missing an item and they emailed me a £2 coupon, it was only worth 50p ;D
If the boxes were made up with two layers of tape id be happier and if the tins didnt have so many dents in them. Sigh. things you put up with to get cheap food :rofl:
-
So just to be boring and remind everyone again, click through our zooplus link at the bottom of every page so we can get some nice dosh for our rescues fund. ;D ;D ;D
and have a nice day :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Gill last week i thought i place my first order with them so the first item was cat nip plant and it said out of stock, so i decided to leave it till they have it in stock and then place the order ;)
-
Thats fine LOL
-
Well just bought something - hope you got some money.
-
Just ordered a stand for dog bowls from them.
-
I dont know when we receive the money but I would think its either monthly or quarterly but Tan will know ;D
keep on making your orders through our link please :shify: :shify:
-
I just ordered 2 cat trees this morning from Zooplus through the link.. How do i know how much is going to you guys.? Is it a percentage or something..!
-
5% ;D
-
I sent for a dog bowl stand six days ago and it arrived this morning from Germany. Very pleased ;D
-
The zooplus link at the bottom of the page doesn't appear to be working at the moment. I've just tried to go to zooplus via the link and it couldn't load the page. I can get into zooplus fine by going directly to their website so it's not the site that's down. I need to order some stuff and would obviously rather do it via the link so that Purrs gets some dosh. Will try again this evening.
-
Just tried our link and it worked fine for me, so hope it works for you next time ;D
-
How long do you have to wait for an order?
-
It comes very quickly as far as I can remember but Milly and others who use zooplus a lot will be able to tell you.
-
usually it takes 3 days :) I order sunday and receive Wednesday but at this time of year who knows
hth
-
So i ordered something today so i maybe get it next week?
-
Oh yes I think you should ;D
-
we will get 5% of the cost of your order
no very much that?
-
I think it's pretty good - if you were going to order anyway Purrs get 5% for doing nothing. Every little helps and lots of us place large orders from zooplus as we get all our cat food/litter from there.
-
Definately Helen , it all adds up and will go to the registered rescues on Purrs ;D
-
Right iv been checking out the cat food & jesus it seems very expensive at £3 eachfor the tins of cat food? :Crazy:
-
Thats for a bulk of 6 though I believe,please correct me if I am wrong :)
-
I ordered on the 2nd and would normally have had a dispatch email by now but i imagine they have a xmas backlog.
RR, some of the brands are expensive but they are mainly high meat/free range products. Sometimes i treat my lot to a 6 pack of porta 21 for £9.50 :Crazy: so they get more than they would do normally from applaws.
-
I also ordered about then but I have had my email and am expecting the delivery Monday
-
I usually find it's 3 days. If I order at a weekend it usually comes on the following Wednesday which is fab given that it comes from Germany. I ordered just before xmas and was very surprised to find it wasn't delayed and came on the Wednesday as normal.
RR - what's £3 a tin?? Most stuff is sold bulk so are you sure that's not for 6 tins? I find the stuff very cheap. Lots of good quality, high meat foods for felix/whiskas prices. Bozita and Animonda Carny are favourites here and both work out at about 15p - 20p per 100g. Free P&P too ;D They also sell Orijen dry food (grain free) at a great price - currently £1.30 for 400g.
-

Well mine arrived today, still no email so was a bit of a surprise :shocked:
Taz is well chuffed because there was batteries in this order to make the red dot return. One of these days he will catch it....
-
No sign of mine :( unless they are working late (fat chance of that :rofl:)
well what do you know it turned up ;D
-
Iv no had a confermation email yet?
-
Iv no had a confermation email yet?
neither did milly's mum but the order turned up, check your spam filter, or maybe your provider cut it
hth
-
No the only emails i get in spam is viagra ....dont use it by the way .....
-
Well Iv only had a couple of orders from zooplus & cant fault them so far they have been pretty good with quick delivery & quick replys to emails. One email I sent about a damaged perch i bought for me rats & they have now said they have refunded me my money with in 5 to 7 working days but Im puzzled that they dont wont the perch returned lol :-:
Another email i sent asking if they will be stocking beauticat cat litter as i use this stuff & want to order everything from the same site rather then bits here & bits there...anyhoo....this is their reply...

On a last note here......it took about 4 days for my order to come from germany & 1 week for an order to come from gloucester :-:
-
How long does it normally take for orders to come from Zooplus please? Did someone say if they order on the weekend it comes Wednesday - so about 3 working days is the norm?
My friend raves about them but I am worried that I would miss the order or wait a wee while for it to arrive. Just curious - thanks
-
I usually order sunday and receive Wednesday Thursday
hth
-
i have just posted about zooplus today actually in different section but i placed my order 30th jan, it was dispatched 31st jan and i am still waiting with a hungry cat :tired:
-
nothing happens over the weekend though so you can discount that :)
-
Dont forget to use our link at the bottom of every page ;D ;D
-
Oooh! Oooh! Great stuff! How cool I can help the charity while buying cat food!
I am actually thinking of putting in an order soon- I've seen the radiator bed there for £9, need some dry catfood too.
Cool beans.
-
Thats great! I was going to buy one of their massive scratch post tree play centre things and I have had cat beds and stuff from there in the past ;D
Food I buy from a local 'pet free' pet shop who are brilliant for animal welfare, so I like to support them.
-
My order was dispatched on Wednesday, first time using the site. How long does it normally take from despatch?? Did yours appear Curlycatz?
I did notice you could choose courier - I just left it with the default as DHL have said before they can't find my address (my estate has been here 40 years lol!) so I figured the other guys must be better than them!!
-
When I order at the weekend it usually arrives on the Wednesday, not sure if weekends are working days for them? DHL is delivered by DHL (surprisingly!) and the GLS option which I think is the default is delivered by Parcelforce.
-
My current order arrived yesterday :( the box was split wide open and upon inspection found 8 cartons of Bozita missing :( have emailed and awaiting response
-
My last couple of orders have either had missing bozita or seriously dented cans. Annoying but the good thing is that each time i get 10% off my next order :)
-
Me too, I think I had about 8 Bozita missing, I emailed them and they refunded my card. Hopefully they will start to twig on it's down to them packaging 25kg of food in a cardboard box the strength of a paper bag and either use stronger boxes or split the order up!
-
I commented that i would rather pay p+p and get some packaging in my order. I get bubblewrap in a box that has 28kg of litter in it but nothing in the box with loose tins of food :Crazy:
They replied that due to logistical reasons this wasnt possible!! :-: :-: :-:
-
No sign of my order yet - was ordered Monday and when I tried through the track and trace the last activity was Wednesday!! hmmmm
-
Hope it arrives soon Caledonia, can't have those beautiful boys of yours going without :)
MM/Horza
I don't know if you've noticed but half way down the 'Your item has been dispatched' email there is a survey on what condition teh parcel arrived in so looks like they are reviewing the packaging. All you have to do is click on the link that best describes what condition your item arrived in.

Cheers didn't see that :) far too far down the email to hold my attention :rofl:
-
I only noticed it as I was trying to find the link to click on to complain about my missing Bozita!
For anyone that is thinking of ordering from Zooplus - please don't be put off! Have only ever had a problem with heavy orders, unfortuanately they send VERY heavy orders out in flimsy cardboard boxes. Their range of products and prices are excellent as is the customer service should anything be wrong with your order. Free or very cheap delivery too which normally comes pretty quickly considering it comes from Germany - oh, and Purrs rescue fund gets 5% of your total order if you ordered via the Zooplus link at the bottom of the page :)
-
Hope it arrives soon Caledonia, can't have those beautiful boys of yours going without :)
Why thank you ;D
It is just some litter than my friend has been raving about and dare i say - I heart shaped mini cat tree - not cos I am soppy but because they wee bizzums have thus far turned their noses up at all provided scratching posts! :-:
-
I shall start voting.
It must cost them in 10% vouchers :evillaugh:
-
I've been fairly lucky as the only thing I've had missing was one tin of something! But the packaging is very poor. Esp if you're out when they attempt to deliver so they have to take it back to the depot then re-deliver. Usually arrives in a bit of a state! Fortunately I've been in when my last few orders arrived and the boxes have still been in one piece.
When I ordered a cat tree from them a couple of years ago, it just arrived in it's own box (no extra packaging to account for it having to come all the way from Germany!) and DHL had secured it with lots of heavy tape. Parcelforce dont seem to make any attempt to do that - I went to collect a box of food from them once that was falling apart and they hadn't put any tape on it at all.
But I agree not to be put off by this. Everything's pretty cheap and its great buying heavy tins and litter with no p&p. It does usually get here in one piece!

I agree and its not put me off :)
-
Just ordered a load of stuff from here through the link at the bottom. first order too so 10% off!! excellant
-
I've just ordered some food for my lot in the hope that they'll maybe eat some of it :tired: :evillaugh:
-
hey,
I order from zooplus regularly and havent had any major probs although I do think that they do not do any forward tinking when packing. But hey its cheap and comes to your front door - free p&p. Our delivery driver normally leaves the delivery with my next door neighbour which is handy!
-
My Zooplus order came today... Looks like they have listened to the feedback, my VERY heavy order was in a different type of box and was bound using those plastic strips that are impossible to get off unless you have scissors. Top marks to Zooplus ;D
-
That will be all my 10% off coupons and refunds thats nearly bankrupted them :rofl:
Im glad they are listening tho, i dont mind the odd dent but 100% damaged takes the pee.
My last order was the worst ever, i was asked to send pictures, i spent ages photographing them to show the dents up and then couldnt reply to the email - was a send only account >:(
I sent several messages enquiring where to send these pictures only to be told they didnt need them and will refund my card :tired:
-
I ordered my little ones a big cat tree from zooplus...think its the alicante. Ordered it monday or tuesday - arrived today.
Box was hardly damaged at all - all in all very impressed....well apart from instructions they look scary :shocked:
but it cant be rocket science its only a few platforms and things :sneaky:
-
ok, I have built the tree this afternoon (please bear in mind I have never built anything in my life, I am useless at flat pack anything!!)
and it only took me about half an hour and was very easy...overall very very impressed. will definatley use zooplus again!!
-
Pictures! I think the alicante is the spare one i have
-
I will go and take a pic in a minute and post a picture of my work of art ha ha ha!!
-
Just a wee tip to add to the Zoo plus chat - when you are ordering there is an option on the checkout page to choose courier. The default is a German compnay which will pass it to Parcel Force. I left it as this with my first Order and ti took about 3 to egt to me after despatch.
On Tuesday lunchtime I ordered new cat litter and decided to opt for the DHL option to see if it made a difference as I still had free packaging- well I ordered Tues, it was despatched Wednesday and landed on my door step Thursday lunchtime. However OH didn't hear buzzer so that meant we were the ones that had to lug the 30kg litter up three flights of stairs!!! However might impressed that it took less than 48 hours to get to my front door!!!
