tackle dealers ,good and bad

[*Ant*]

just like to get something off my chest...

 

ordered a Shimano Technium specialist quiver from Brentwood angling, after 3 weeks recieved it with 4 smashed rings. after a phone call i was told it was the last one so asked for them to refund my credit card...

 

after 12, yes 12, weeks and 2 telephone calls a week i recieved a refund...but no refund on the postage i,d forked out for.

 

lots of telephone calls and then letters followed but still no refund... been over 12 months now...

 

what REALLY drives me mad is there adverts in the mags with the picture of Derek "the don" Richie with the words...TRUST YOUR UNCLE

 

if anyone from Brentwood Angling is reading this...YOU ARE TOTAL SCUM!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

 

at the other end of the scale i,ve found Tony's Tackle of Eastbourne to be excellent and have no hesitation in recommending them.

 

REALLY NEEDED TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST

Yes i agree with the Tony's tackle comment, ordered some great kit, arrived next day and was cheaper than anywhere else.

 

Shame that some people just don't seem to care about their customers, however, i ordered a holdall from Bivvy Up and even though they didn't have it in stock, i waskept updated by e-mails and phone calls and recieved it the day after it was sent,

Hi aanthony

 

You must be really angry as I have just read your post on another forum. Try Walkers of Trowell; excellent website and goods by return. NEVER had a problem with them and when there was a slight delay in some stuff I ordered they rang me up to let me know.

[pokey joe]

Had a similar problem with Bevans Tackle of Essex :mad: :mad: but found Summerlands Tackle(www.summerlands.co.uk) cheap and reliable for line etc

Danson Angling,JKTackle and Tackle Box all excellent mail order

[Andy Thatcher]

Great rod choice though !

 

Get one you won't be disapointed as long as you use it what it is meant to do.

WMAC.........need I say more!

 

[*Ant*]

yes agree with you there Colin, used WMAC before and good service/prices.

 

why i'm at it...i can vouch for BENNETTS and CHAPMANS...had no problems with either.

 

maybe we should start a database with ratings out of ten...BRENTWOOD "minus" 96765132674264...sorry got a bit carried away there. :mad: :mad:

Well, while were plugging good tackle shops,

Here's mine.Two Guys of Basinstoke,found them by accident and they will beat any-ones price on big stuff like rods,reels,bivvy's.

Secondly,Tackle Box ,Kent.I know they are top prices,but the range they carry is second to none,and they give you free,the best thing an angler could hope for,good solid reliable advice!

They're ability to get the stuff to you in double quick time is superb....Des

i always find after making several phone calls to these companies that a letter stateing that you give them seven working days to resolve the situation or you will take them to small claims court always works.Always get the owners name and direct the civil action to him personally as he does not want a county court judgement against him(it basically means he will no longer get any credit anywhere and he will not want the aggrovation) Hope this helps.
