John Norris service levels are fantastic
John Norris service levels beat every all the other UK angling retailers hands down and I’ve used all of them ver the years. Their after sales service and excellence in dealing with issues and fixes/replacements is sector leading.
Their costs match the others too
Great company to deal with
Replacement rod section. Great service.
They obtained a replacement rod section from Sweden for my broken Guideline fly rod (my fault) and it arrived within a week via them, free postage, for a very reasonable cost. Staff were very helpful.
Always a pleasure
John Norris is a great business. Helpful people, large range and competitive prices.
Great company to buy from
Ordered fleece gilet and country shirt. Very good price, quick delivery and really pleased with both the items I bought and the experience dealing on the web site.
I shall certainly be shopping here again! Thank you.
Great aftercare on buying a high end…
Great aftercare on buying a high end fly rod.
Excellent customer care
I live off the beaten track and although most delivery drivers are very good, occasionally goods are not delivered because of "an issue". I usually have to contact the courier or the supplier to enquire what has happened and to make alternative arrangements.
Not so with John Norris!
A lady with a lovely accent phoned to ask whether I had been at home at the time of the "attempted delivery". She then chased up the matter with the couriers, made alternative arrangements and refunded my postage.
You can't get better customer service than that.
Excellent service again
I asked JN if they could give me a quote for rod,reel,line which they did . It was a very competitive quote and the lady I spoke to on the phone was so helpful. I’ve bought quite a lot of gear over the years from JN and always had a great service, thoroughly recommend .
Fingers crossed
I pre - ordered with John Norris a £600 pair of chest waders, very friendly staff over the phone. Payed for waders, and got a written email as proof of money payed. Delivery i have been told (as item out of stock) is due for re stocking to John Norris in April 2023 (next month). So far so good, will update in April (next month). As mentioned very friendly staff (so far). The pressure lol
Fantastic company
Fantastic company.
Just received the Henry Wag waterproof dog coat, fantastic quality, amazing price and super fast delivery.
Highly recommended
Wide range
First class customer service, they kept me informed about my order throughout. Good range of products at competitive prices. I am a returning customer and will definitely use them again.
Reliable
Reliable, easy to contact......a rare thing these days.
Went the extra mile to make sure I received my order.....that I put in at the last minute before my fishing holiday.
Bad customer service in store
Went to the shop itself, to buy something I new was in stock. Terrible customer service! Me and my partner were given dirty stares around the shop and the lady behind the counter then was very blunt and stern despite us spending a decent sum in the shop. Will just order the item online via a different website as nothing was cheaper in store and the customer service was disappointing. Perhaps they were having a bad day but ruined the experience Of going to get something I was excited to buy.
Absolute totally quality service
Absolute totally quality service, from the fact I missed my details off the delivery, they contacted me helpful friendly, placed the order and delivered next day Absolute brilliant service recommend strongly
Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service – they replaced a faulty pair of waders I bought with minimal fuss and were very friendly and communicative along the way.
Also a great place to find good value-for-money fly fishing gear.
