I love the bedding, but it seems every time I order it takes longer and longer for them to dispatch my bedding, I ordered my last lot on the 30th of October and the order is still pending :td: Not impressed and I'm going to make this my last order!

Anyone had a similar experience with them?
 
I tried finacard once but my two wouldn't stop eating it, to the point they were ignoring their hay and nuggets! I stopped using it and went on to fleece as there is no nutritional value in cardboard. I liked it apart from that though.
 
I have never tried Finacard as I just don't like the look of it . It doesn't look like the piggies would be very comfortable on it.
I think that they would have a hard time moving around on it.

Badger does this when his nuggets have gone, whilst he's looking right at me mind! I swear he knows it makes me look bad so I have to give in and re-fill the bowl (even if he's already eaten his daily amount)! I find it very good for shredded cardboard in terms of bedding though

I thought this before I tried it but my boys find it very comfortable, it's really good - probably the best bedding I've used so far :) Apart from waiting for everything to ship it's really very good, worth a go
 
I used finacard and my piggies, rats and hamsters loved it and it kept dry but have switched to aubiouse as cheaper and available from local supplier.This is great too and easier to Hoover up.
 
I do love Finacard, it is surprisingly soft! It's just the length of time it takes to ship that I have the gripe with :(
 
I stopped ordering the papelit as it took forever to arrive last time and was also very dusty. I have switched to fitch.
 
I never had a problem with them, maybe they're very busy or there's some production issue holding things up. I haven't used it for a while though as I can get chopped card locally now.

There are other chopped cardboard options - ecobale, ecobed, green mile, bed xcel, walmsley premierbed and other places produce their own non-branded.
 
Well, my order was dispatched yesterday and I received it today so once it has been dispatched it is very quick to arrive, I suppose the weekend slowed the process down markedly. Don't let my comment put you off ordering please! The product itself is really worth the money and it seems I just ordered at the wrong time.

I did love fitch but I hated the feeling of it on my hands! Finacard is so easy to just get out and chuck it in, a little goes a long way too :) Also blends poops in well so it looks less messy if you haven't poo picked for a few hours ;)
 
@LydiaMinx I thought I was imagining the weird feeling of Fitch!

I agree that once it is dispatched it arrives the next day and doesn't need to be signed for :)
 
I use finacard and I've noticed the dispatching is taking longer..! Usually it would be dispatched the following day then delivered the next.. but now its taking a few days to dispatch. Highly annoying, it didn't arrive in time for clean out last week (I should have ordered earlier) but it was quite frustrating..
