 Best
features:-
Brilliant customer service. Hamster
Baskets is a family business with over 30 years of experience, providing advice on measurements
and dimensions. Very speedy response to enquiries. A custom-made cage was delivered within ten
days.
Very easily
installed, lightweight and lifted into the boot by a single female!
Worst features:-
A little 'flimsy,' as the entire front of the cage is door(s). There is no corner to keep the
frame in shape. This is a minor problem, overcome by two bungee straps (They're £5 from
Halfords.)
Delivery:
Very well packaged for protection in
transit and delivered by Securicor.
Instructions:
Full instructions on measuring for cage dimensions are provided on the Hamster Baskets web
site, but the company also holds records on file for most makes of car. They are able to
provide two alternative styles of cage for my car boot.
Price:
£195 with a removable divider and an
attachment to hold door(s) open. Includes delivery.
Value for Money:
Good.
Overall rating:
9.5 out of 10
