Do not buy from the Archery Shop
Do not buy from the Archery Shop, service is appalling. The Archery Shop website promises despatch for "in stock" items within 2 to 5 days, I ordered two "in stock" items , 16 days later not even despatched, despite still showing as "in stock". I contacted them to be told it would be another 5-7 days before despatch and they were sorry, their system has problems - really!!. I cancelled the order and got a refund. I then immediately placed an order for same items from Merlin Archery on Friday and received them 3 days later on Monday
Prepayment broker / dropshipper
Store that acts as a prepayment broker / dropshipper.
The website does not correctly show stock availability. After ordering and paying, if it is not on the shop floor, they will not confirm back order and instead order from their supplier in Europe. Fails to update their customers about missing stock and does not give realistic or accurate delivery times. Only replies with "delivery next week likely". 26 days later and still have no estimated delivery date.
If you have to use this company, shop in store only or call ahead to check actual stock.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES PART WITH MONEY…
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES PART WITH MONEY TO THIS COMPANY; unless you want disappointment and sleepless nights.
I have been led a merry dance of:
Unrealistic deadlines?
Lies?
Prevarication?
I have now begun proceeding to try to reclaim my money.
I will never use the store again and will inform all of my archery family of this experience.

Terrible service and they lie about…
Terrible service and they lie about stock levels. 2 months since ordering items advertised as in stock and I'm still waiting. No answer to e-mails, I'm on the verge of starting credit card formalities to get money back. Avoid this appalling company.
Very poor customer service
I ordered goods from this store in April but by August they had not arrived. I was constantly told that the goods were "in transit" and would be with me in 2-3 weeks and then that they would be delivered by a series of specific dates. Then there was a problem with staff shortages (although why that would impact on goods in transit is somewhat unclear). Needless to say, the goods never arrived by the promised dates and there was always an excuse when asked. There were no emails provided by the company about the status of the order unless they were in response to an email that I sent asking where the goods were. Even then, they were slow in responding or did not bother replying at all. I had previously used this company in the past and they have always been slow. However, this is a new level of poor performance and I would certainly not be using them again. I have requested that the money be returned with immediate effect but have not received a response and so will have to take a formal route to recovering the funds. Whilst you may also see some positive reviews for this company posted here I, for one, will never use them again.
Lied about stocked items.
Placed order over a month ago for items all in stock, then informed they were not in stock and going to be late. Chased and we’re told delivery last week but never happened. No replies from email and asked if money back.
Trustworthy & Transparent
Had a fantastic experience at the local archery store. Their constant updates during the delivery wait reflected a commitment to customer satisfaction. The shop's trustworthiness was evident through their user-friendly website and excellent communication. Product quality exceeded expectations, and the enthusiastic staff added to the positive vibe. In a world of quick fixes, this shop's focus on quality and customer care is a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended for a satisfying shopping journey. Can't wait for my next purchase!
A Stellar Archery Shop Experience: Trusting the Right Company
I recently had the pleasure of shopping at the archery shop, and I must say, the experience left me absolutely delighted. From the moment I placed my order to the eventual delivery, this shop demonstrated an unmatched level of customer service that truly exceeded my expectations.
One of the standout features of this archery shop is their commitment to keeping customers informed every step of the way. While the delivery wasn't immediate, the constant updates I received regarding the status of my order made the waiting period a breeze. Each email notification felt like a reassuring pat on the back, reminding me that my purchase was progressing smoothly. This level of transparency showcased the shop's dedication to customer satisfaction, ensuring that I never felt left in the dark.
What truly sets this shop apart, however, is the genuine feeling of trust that they instill in their customers. Trusting a company with your order, especially in the online shopping world, can often be a daunting task. But right from the start, this shop's seamless website navigation, detailed product descriptions, and the sense of authenticity they conveyed in their communications put my worries to rest.
Upon receiving my order, I was overjoyed to find that the product not only met but exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship of the archery equipment was evident, and it was clear that I had indeed made the right choice by placing my trust in this shop.
The positive vibe of the store extended beyond the product itself. It's rare to come across a company that not only focuses on the transaction but also values the overall experience. The staff, who were undoubtedly passionate about archery, were more than willing to answer my questions and provide valuable insights. Their expertise and enthusiasm for the sport were infectious, leaving me even more excited to put my new equipment to use.
In an age where instant gratification often takes precedence, this archery shop's dedication to quality, communication, and customer satisfaction is a refreshing reminder of the true essence of a successful shopping experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this store to fellow archery enthusiasts and anyone seeking an exceptional shopping journey.
If you're looking for a shop that goes beyond just selling products, a shop that makes you feel valued and informed, a shop that understands the true meaning of trust in the world of online shopping – then look no further. This archery shop has truly earned my admiration, and I'm already looking forward to my next purchase with them.
Great service
Fantastic service from the Archery Shop. A bit slow with the delivery but informed at every step
Wouldn't trust this company..
Wouldn't trust this company... Placed an order and then read the reviews saying that you won't get your products after a very long time. I emailed for a refund and got no response so messaged them on Facebook and managed to cancel the order, to then be told my refund will take 7-10 days to reach my account.... Total scam from a badly run business. Please don't trust them with your money and go to Quicks instead.
Still waiting for an order to even be…
Still waiting for an order to even be posted out to me. Items were stated as being in stock, clearly NOT. Avoid this so called trader, hopeless.
Barnett TS380 crossbow
Very impressed with the way they dealt with my order - placed on Wednesday to receive it on Saturday (two days before scheduled delivery).. fu...ng impressive!. The item itself brand new nicely packed at very good price!. Really recommend them.... they are really improving , worth to give it a try. What you need to do before you place your order to avoid any disappointment is to email them first to get a confirmation that the item is available to ship right away. They struggle to pick up the phone but reply to your email very quickly. The two emails are
(Unfortunately,we are not allowed to include any email addresses here but you can find them on their website)
Shop with them with your eyes closed.... it's a genuine company and genuine review from a happy customer!
Absolutely appalling
Absolutely appalling service constant excuses (when they reply) for an outstanding item of an order placed and paid for 2 months ago. Still not got it, order from them at your peril.
My go to retailer
This is my go to retailer for archery equipment and consumables. I find their prices to be reasonable backed up with prompt service and good communication.
Wish Id read the reviews before!
Wish Id read the reviews before using this shop. They are LIARS. Do not respond to the phone or emails. The phone is hardly answered (or as I found out both my mobile and landline blocked by them) and just get a standard response of it will be with you in a few days. I don't know what system they are using but my in stock items never arrived (no tracking available) after saying they'd been sent twice absolute joke of a shop and now having to pursue with my bank to get the money back. These people need to be shut down or just get rid of their website if they can't manage it properly. The bad reviews are true.
Shocking
Shocking - did not delivery, would not answer the phone or respond to email. 3 months later still waiting the goods. Bank have been contacted. Trying to call and they are hanging up on me constantly. Finally answered on the 20th attempt
Can't understand why this company has…
Can't understand why this company has so many 1 star ratings. I've used them on multiple occasions and had nothing but good service.
Order recieve within time
Order recieve within time, good service and good product, thank you!
Really poor service
Ordered some limbs on May 9th, was told 5 -10 days to get them shipped. I chased them several times was always told they are on their way, Cancelled the order on 17th June when I realised they were constantly telling lies. Today is 3rd July and still no refund. Really poor service, I will never use them again even if I do eventually get a refund.
