I ordered a new Bivvy and overwrap on Sunday the 11th of January and it arrived on the Thursday the 15th January. I had emails when it was dispatched when it was getting packed when it was on its way and when it was with the courier and when it was delivered. The Bivvy and overwrap is also much better than I expected 👍
I have ordered a no. of items from your company and I am really impressed. The Christmas advent calendar was amazing thanks for some excellent deals Happy New Year to all 👍
Product as expected a reasonable price. But order made on 16 December and promised as 2-3 days arrived December 27. So not a lot of use. I know it's a busy time, so be realistic about shipping times. Would have expected them to pay return fee, which they refused to do. Won't deal with them again.

So I purchased on 21st Dec as last minute present so I understand it's busiest time of year so seeing the delivery as 2-5 days I ordered. I emailed to offer extra money for faster delivery only to be told that they are in The Netherlands, NOT ONCE on the website is this stated, the phone number is UK as is customer services surely this should be a legal requirement for anyone purchasing therefore needs reporting. I would have never ordered had this been on the website, The bait boat did arrive on Monday 5th Jan however I could have saved myself a few quid in the Jan sales had I known it was going to be this long. Will I order from this company again I highly doubt it, my Hubby is yet to try it out so for the price and the wait it had better be worth it as returns don't look promising either
False advertising is ILLEGAL, I have literally been through every drop down and there is NOWHERE stating the origin of this company so AVOID shop local

Poor customer service.
Ordered some fishing boots. Navitas polar tech!
Very uncomfortable,the heel digs in to your feet on both boots. You can feel the heel on the sole as you walk. I requested a return and was told it’s not a good enough reason so was rejected!
The boots are not fit for purpose (boots you can’t walk in) I’m sure it is.
Will never order from them again!

Dreadful service! Ordered an expensive item 2 weeks ago, no delivery attempt has been made, one parcel seems to have gotten lost and the other apparently was put as returned to sender even though they can’t explain why! Been chasing up for days with no reply, doesn’t look like I will be getting the parcels or the £850 refund! So so disappointed as it is a present for my partner and I feel I have been scammed!!! UPDATE- I did eventually get a refund! Blame was pushed onto DPD so I think they need to look into a new courier!

Ordered and paid for delivery 2-5 days, order haven’t arrived 2 weeks later. Second time like this, was hoping the first time was one off but it’s not. Cannot trust delivery details they provide

One of my favourites fishing websites, they never let me down so far, i placed couple of orders. Premium packaging and super fast delivery. I would like that other fishing websites be like them, professionals. What i like most is that they RESPECT their customers, that means everything.
Thank you very much, FISHDEAL!🙏
Ordered 2 rods and arrived with-in 48hours they were in a very sturdy cardboard tube both rods were in mint condition and when they get more in stock i will be order 2 more very pleased over-all
Products are as described very happy with them also the courier was very profesional well mannered and friendly . Parcel was in perfect state . Thank you
Ordered a Reel and Line. Much cheaper than UK Tackle companies. It took 7 days to arrive, but it came from Holland and Tracking was excellent. My query was answered quickly and pleasantly. Goods arrived in perfect condition. Will definitely order again.
