Title: Anyone dealt with this company?
Post by: HappyHippy on March 04, 2015, 11:54:54 am

Hi,
I have a friend who's looking for a pig arc and has found some he likes from a company called The Pig Ark Co http://www.thepigarkcompany.com (http://www.thepigarkcompany.com)
Has anyone used them and if so, do you have any feedback?
Thanks  :wave:

No not used them but be very wary of pig ark companies on internet too many take money and don't deliver the goods, this website is fairly new.
I AM NOT saying they are wrong 'uns just get some reviews and not from their website.
sorry not offer better news.

I've not used them, they seem to have been around for a while see

and claim they are owned by Booth's who do commercial arks.

If in the South East we use Ardingly Arks

Mark and Bess are very good !

Thank you Oaklands, we would love to supply our arks to Scottish customers, gradually creeping up country supplied as far as Ripon and Stoke on Trent so far

I did tell him about Ardingly  ;) what sort of delivery cost are you for say, ML11 0HL? (assuming you'd come so far north  :thumbsup:)

I have bought accessories from the pig ark company. They were very good - easy to contact and rapid, personal replies. I needed something quickly and they despatched very speedily. So my experience was good with these guys.
