No actual support for lost parcel

My package is now almost 3 weeks overdue and Waveinn are doing nothing except fobbing me off. Tracking info from GLS has not been updated in 10 days.
I will NEVER use Waveinn or GLS again.

utterly useless company

I brought a Penn Africa rod from waveinn, i was surprised when the rod turned up in a flimsy carboard box, it was no surprise when i carefully unpacked the rod and found the liner of the largest guide shattered.
Then the problems really started, i tried to get in touch via waveinn but all i got was an automated system asking me to use the "My Account" and raise a claim. i have raised two tickets through "My Account" but still no contact from Waveinn.
i tried using the chat bot numerous times, i was told by "Hazel" i would recieve a email when the chat window closed, when the email arrived it guided me to the "my Account" section again and asked me to up load the photos i had previously done twice.
i have now requested a refund and brought the rod from a UK outlet.
Never have i encountered such a shambolic contact system as this and such poor packaging on a fragile item.
I will never shop with Waveinn again

AVOID

Claimed one of two items ordered was out of stock and automated email said to delete the item from the order, or select another item. I attempted to do both. No delete button, and no way to select an acceptable alternative item. Messaged "customer service" a dozen times being told the same thing, then that it was too late to change an item, then received another email directing me to change the item or cancel the backordered item. Still not possible to do either. Requested cancellation (pending response again) and will file claim with credit card company if not resolved. This company is a mess and their customer service is incompetent.

Their response below illustrates their incompetence in basic communication.

Scam

I bought a fishing reel on Waveinn that had only positive reviews – but in reality it turned out to be poor quality. Go to the trash after 6 days of fishing, and the costs of sending it back for a claim almost equal its value
Order nr 58778406
When I tried to publish my own honest review, it was rejected and never appeared online. This shows that Waveinn/Tradeinn filters out negative feedback, creating a misleading picture for customers.

The company replied with a generic “please provide your order number” message, but completely ignored my main point – the lack of transparency and the blocking of critical reviews.

⚠️ Be careful – what you see on their site and on Trustpilot may not reflect the real customer experience.

This is a difficult one … the item was new, in excellent condition and a good price …. However it wasn’t clear that the item was coming from Spain and the Royal Mail 48 hour delivery was a joke …. It took two weeks to arrive and as such the boat was unusable for this period …. not going to order from them again!

However, there are external factors that can affect the delivery of an order, which is why our estimated dates are not exact.

Do not trust this company

This is second time when I bought from Waveinn on-line and I was deceived. When I did place an order on Waveinn page rod was in stock, I was happy. After few days received letter from customer service (we are waiting when item arrive in our warehouse, but we do not know when). Completely discussing company. I lost my passion and canceled my order. Do not trust this company. My opinion their laundering money.

Don't advertise as in stock when its not

Seeing as I cannot reply to your message ill do it through review, how can I choose who delivers the item seeing as yous yourself havent received it from where yous are trying to source it from ??
Also yous now stat on my order
(Ready for shipment on 06-10-2025)
Its already 23 days gone by on a 3-5day delivery that yous claimed on purchase date

It is now the 14th sept and still not received, so looks like the date gonna be extended again. This is now 21 days for a 3-5 day delivery that they stated on purchase and its still shown they havent got it yet themselfs

Ordered a fishing rod on the 24th august showing in stock, est delivery 28th Aug to 1st set, it changed to the 2nd sept to 7th sept and its changed again to 8thsept to 14th sept lol its aswell I ended up buying a 2nd hand one on marketplace or id be the only one showing up on our trip with no rod.
Don't advertise as in stock when after purchase yous try to source it else where

Dear Chad,

We are very sorry that you rated our service as not meeting your expectations.

We are working hard to continually improve our service. However, occasionally, delivery bottlenecks may occur due to duplicate orders and real-time inventory management, or because our inventory levels are based on those of our suppliers.

In this case, we can unfortunately only provide our customers with the delivery times provided by them (our suppliers): 2025-10-06

Remember that you can change your order, add items, or cancel your order at any time from your account if you no longer wish to wait for a product.

In fact, you will receive an email with the carrier's tracking number and invoice as soon as your order leaves our premises.

We have taken your comments into account and forwarded them to the relevant department to continuously improve and initiate measures to improve the quality of our services.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience.

Kind regards,

Fictional stock levels and delivery times

Do not believe any ‘delivery times’ advertised on their shopping channel. They are complete fiction. This company give the impression that everything is in stock and ready for prompt delivery. The reality is that nothing is in stock and they retrospectively try to source product from across Europe with huge delays in supply. Strongly recommend you go to a reputable supplier and avoid this one!
