Has anyone recently tried the hay box hay since it turned into hay bag hay?
I’ve not but a friend has, it was compressed and in a much smaller box. She was unimpressed as doesn’t like compressed hay and now they are using a plastic bag which isn’t great for the environment!Has anyone recently tried the hay box hay since it turned into hay bag hay?
Oh no. Is it a bag in a box or just a bag?
I ordered 5kg of Timothy Blend and 5kg of Orchard. The Timothy came in 2 x 2.5kg compressed bags in a smaller box. The 5kg Orchard came loose in a larger box.So is it 2.5kg bags they are sending now? My subscription is for 15kg box and a 2.5 kg box. Looks like I might be getting loads of bags if that's the case!
I seem to have totally missed something here. Did they announce this? I can’t find anything about it on their website?
Personally, the whole reason I buy from haybox is because of the environmentally friendly packaging, so if they’ve moved to plastic that entirely defeats the purpose!
Oh no. This is so disappointing to hear. Luckily, I have just received three to four months worth of hay from them so should be alright for the time it takes me to find a new company.It really does…..unless the plastic packaging is compostable?
I’m not surprised there hasn’t been an announcement. The whole reason I stopped using haybox is because of changes like this. They had changed the free delivery threshold but failed to tell anybody that the new charges would affect them if they made any changes to an existing subscription. I added a new product only to find I was then charged delivery because my order value wasn’t enough to qualify for free delivery anymore. I immediately cancelled my subscription and went to Happy Hay Co.
Bags are ‘100% recyclable‘. Looks better once decompressed from the bag into an old box!It really does…..unless the plastic packaging is compostable?

It looks to be much shorter pieces of hay and I seem to be using more of it too.
Okay, looks like my order is going to be delivered by Yodel. I just received now an email about them receiving my parcel and on its journey. Hopefully I'll receive it tomorrow. I'm already dreading how much bags I'm going to receive.I had an email today that my Haybox order has been dispatched. They are not using DPD for delivery. They are using Whistl.
My delivery took a week from despatch. I was not impressed.Okay, looks like my order is going to be delivered by Yodel. I just received now an email about them receiving my parcel and on its journey. Hopefully I'll receive it tomorrow. I'm already dreading how much bags I'm going to receive.
According to the tracking, my parcel is in my local delivery depot. If it doesn't arrive today, I would have to reschedule delivery for Thursday coz we'll be out tomorrow for the day.My delivery took a week from despatch. I was not impressed.
