Firstly, not UK based despite web address. Have had issues with misdelivery not being resolved previously, however on this occasion no issues. Shame they don't put any cushioning in the parcels too, j... See more

Excellent Service

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.

UK Buyers… Beware!

Despite having a .co.uk domain, this is not a UK company. They are in Holland. The 2-5 day delivery thing is… just a plain lie. Whenever you need whatever you are ordering for, double your timeframe. Returns are also a complete nightmare. Read the other reviews - 4 weeks for a refund AND they deduct the return postage cost from your refund. Customer service takes over 24 hours to reply to any messages.

Fishdeal is not a scam as such, but it’s not far off it in my view. Just bad service.

To sum up, you’re better off just ordering from a UK based supplier. The slight cost saving just isn’t worth the hassle.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.

To clarify a few points: although we use a .co.uk domain to offer a local version of our store, our company is based in the Netherlands. Our delivery times are estimated at 2–5 working days, but international shipments can occasionally be affected by external delays. We understand how frustrating this can be, and we are continuously working to improve the accuracy of these estimates.

Returns are free only in cases of warranty or defective products; for other types of returns, the return postage is deducted from the refund, as stated in our return policy.

We also apologise if our customer service response time was slower than expected. We are working on improving our reply times to provide a smoother experience.

We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify where we can improve. If you would like us to review your order or assist you further, we are here to help.

Kind regards,
Team Fishdeal

SCAM

Sorry but, that company is scam. Understand when delivery products could be damaged happening, but return process and replacement process its a joke, almost 4 weeks after purchase and 2 weeks after returning damaged product still not received any email from fishdeal.co.uk about where is my replacement product!!! So looks im scammed for £100. That was my first and last shopping with fishdeal.

Poor Delivery service

Poor Delivery service. I placed an order 8 days ago and still not delivered as of today. Fishdeal were good on price but in my experience as of today their delivery service is lacking. So far they have been slow to sort this out

Damaged box missing parts

The gift I ordered arrived bruised and battered the delivery driver advised that the box was opened so he tapped it up .When we opened it to check the contents we have missing items but getting this sorted is turning into a real issue. I sent pictures of bothe the box and what was in it .I advised what was missing but can't seem to get anyone to confirm that they will replace the missing stuff .
