Excellent communication

Excellent communication, there was a small hold up in postal services, the company did their best as it was out of their control, and kept me informed

I placed an order I think it was on the Wednesday. I later received an email giving a delivery date of the following Monday. The item did not arrive, I was told that the item was out of stock. When I asked for a refund, I was told it could not be processed till the following week.
Working back the first issue I have is
I find it hard to understand how a girl being off work cripples your ability to process financial transactions, I take it you are still able to process incoming orders.
Second issue is why did you send a conformation email which contained a delivery date as well as the information that the item was out of stock.
Finally whatever the reason for that was why did you not send an email to that effect instead of leaving me to be disappointed on the Monday
Kind
Regards

You will need to excuse the format of this email as I am presently in hospital with pneumonia and my thought process is not what it should be

Hi John. I am very sorry to hear of the issue with your order. We currently use third party warehousing for some goods which should note below the add to basket button they "will ship in approx. 5 days" and we would usually send an email update if it goes beyond this advised timeframe.
I am also sorry to hear the member of our team was unable to assist as expected. They were covering our customer service department that day and may not have been familiar with the process. We will ensure this does not happen again.

The fishing lures I ordered from this store are exceptional. They arrived quickly, and their realistic designs have proven irresistible to various fish species.

I was looking for a 5 wt fly rod and on trawling the internet came upon your advert including a Greys GT40. After some price comparisons it was apparent your price was some £20 less than anything else I could find.
I placed the order about 7 pm wednesday evening, it was acknowledged on Thursday morning and the rod arrived from Northern Ireland just after lunch on friday.
Fantastic Price
Fantastic service
Well done DHL and the rod has had two outings abd performed magically each time.
Well done Serious Fishing

I bought the waist waders but they are tight at the knee when bending down. The next size up would be too big.

Great service, fast delivery

Great service, greys GR40 9ft #5 fly rod good but section alignment dots don’t match up on the handle section. Medium action just what I wanted to protect fine tippets, didn’t want a fast action stiff rod. Delivery was very quick.

The communication regarding my order status was all in good time. The tracking of my order was presice and I recei ver exactly what I ordered. Around my parts light gear is hard to find. Especially if you're. Being specific in your needs. Most fly Fisher's are after Atlantic salmon and all the fly shops gear to 7+ weight fly gear.

Waiting 3 weeks, nothing yet?

I have been asked to review Serious Fishing, but I haven’t received my order yet. This is despite all that I order showing as in stock. I have been waiting 3 weeks now.

Hi Mr Lowther. It appears one of the flies you selected notes on our site it "will ship in approx. 5 days" just below the add to basket button. My apologies as it has taken beyond the usual timeframe but I note a member of our team is keeping you updated via email. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if we can assist further.
