Stay away!!!!! You've been warned.

On 20 April I placed 2 large orders with Fishdeal.ie. Order ID: 2895320 and 2896388.
2 Weeks later I had still not received my orders nor did I receive any updates regarding shipping so I reached out to Fishdeal who came back and advised that my orders were flagged as fraud and even though they gladly took my money they stated that the had been waiting on me to reach out to them before shipping, after back and forth they then decided to send the orders. So I wait and on the 13th of May I eventually receive my order, very badly packaged and notice that several expensive items are missing, I reach out to them again and that's when they start completely ignoring me up to this point their only response have been that they can't see my items on the order after sending them the invoice from them with the items clearly on it as per my payment.

I ordered a rod and a few other items

I ordered a rod and a few other items, the rod was damaged in transit as you could see the box was damaged. They replaced it no problem at all, the other items were perfect and their customer service was excellent, fast response to my emails and I think they have the best prices out there !
About to order from them again today, I need some waders as my current ones are leaking so can update after that too.

Burnt little toe. ..

Bought alpenheat socks....was very careful with the instructions re charging and changing fully as per instructions before using... finally with the cold weather tried for the first time yesterday .. and great ..today after use , due to an ingrown toenail I soaked my feet as per doctors orders. .burn on my left little toe ... could only be from the sock ..not sure about how or the technicalities, took photos and sent brief notes to fishdeal .. obviously just have to wait for reply. Unfortunately must have deleted confirmation email of order. ..I oftenbin lots of mail to keep from overload, I'm old school and but if a technophobe. ..
Anyway I'll keep you posted re outcome...but for sore my punky toes been burnt, skin raw and peeling slughtly ... obviously won't use again.... shame as I have Raynaud's phenomenon and it was a great help if only for two days ..but can't risk frying my toes....

I received a damaged fishing rod

I received a damaged fishing rod. The company are from Netherlands. Waited 2 weeks for the order and received it damaged. It left their warehouse in this condition. Told me to go and get it repaired which is a joke. Will only refund me if it is returned at my expense. At first they said they would collect it but failed to do so. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST.
