Return

I would like to thank everyone at tackle fanatics i purchased a trakker tempest v2 i had its for a couple of months when i noticed a few problems a contacted them and spoke to one of their sales team and explained the problems i was having with the bivvy without any fuss i was sent a return form my bivvy was returned and three days later they contacted me to say a new bivvy had been sent out. It's a breath of fresh air too have a company who dont just take your money and wash their hands of you their customer service is second to none they delt with my return with lightning speed with no fuss and i would highly recommend them to anyone all i can say is thanks to everyone at tackle fanatics it's been a pleasure doing business with you

Quality at discount prices

The rod I ordered was in stock and delivered very quickly. It was also much cheaper than any of the other stockists.

shimano speedcast 14000 xsb

With very little if not zero knowledge in angling I asked several questions and was answered promptly and accurately so I ended up buying the reel from them, now looking forward to my happy fishing days. Cheers guys

excellent

ordered 3 rods 2 barbel and 1 shimano spod online over the weekend..by mistake i ordered a 13ft spod rod instead of a 12ft so dropped an email asking if they could send a 12ft rod instead of the 13ft... had an email back monday morning saying the spod rods are not available until the new year... after that gave them a call to find out what was going on, the guy said he would ring me back which he duly did and told me they had dug the shimano spod rods out as they had only just arrived and that they would send a 12ft not a 13ft..next day all 3 rods arrived including a 12ft spod so was really pleased..well done TF and the barbel rods were brill at a fantastic price...

Carp tackle

Late delivery after being charged for the next day service, ordered on a Sunday received the gear on the Thursday. My wife wasted all day Tuesday waiting in for the delivery that had even been sent out. Couldn't use the bivvy with the peak because It was damaged and still waiting for the replacement part that's arriving on Wednesday. It took the buzz out of it getting new fishing with all the hassle. But I must say they are very helpful on the phone with the issues I've had.

Hi Woz, many thanks for your custom. UPS did try and deliver your order earlier in the week, but no one was available to sign for the packages, which is why it wasn't finally delivered to you until the Thursday. We apologise the bar for the peak of your bivvy was damaged, we have got one on the way from the manufacturer and this will be sent on to you as soon as it arrives with us. Glad you found our staff helpful and polite, we always strive to rectify any issues to keep our customers satisfied. We value your feedback and hope to deal with you again soon. Tight lines, Duncan

Shimano technium magnesium. (Black mags) SEE UPDATE BELOW

Bought 3 of the above from this store. Went in so I could see what I was purchasing as this for me was a big investment. My only negative was that I was not acknowledged when I went in as the guy behind the counter was talking to a sales rep. The chatted for a good 10 minuets and to be honest I felt a bit ignored, given what I intended to spend, that was to me a bit disappointing. When I did get served the service was very good, polite sales guy and he new his stuff, turned out he was new to the store so maybe explains the above (hope my comment may be of use?). Price was the best I have seen in the U.K and they had plenty of stock. Well worth the 3 hour drive, would use again without hesitation.

24-12-16. Just wanted to update my previous post as unfortunately one of the spool clickers came off the spool when I changed over from braid to mono. You often find out just how good a company is when you get an issue. Tacklefanatics are first class. Not only did they replace the spool without any issue, they even sent me a paid postage returns label so it didn't cost me anything to send back. Took 3 days from posting the spool to getting a replacement. Outstanding.

Hi, thanks for purchasing your 'Black Mags' from Tackle Fanatics - they are amazing reels and we hope they help you in your pursuit of some cold water monsters this winter. We would like to apologise if you feel you weren't acknowledged when you came in store, this isn't normally the way we deal with our showroom customers as we like to greet all that visit us regardless of what they are looking to buy. Its great to hear you did finally receive the polite customer service we strive to offer all our customers, but I have relayed your comments to the member of staff in question so we can continue to improve our service. We appreciate the epic journey you undertook to come and see us, its great that you found our prices and stock worth the trip. Many thanks for your feedback, we hope to see you again soon. Tight lines, Duncan
