Goods a good price ,need to change the couriers Evri and hermes are useless

Very prompt service and goods arrived before the advised date great stuff

Good communication, reasonable prices.

Sorry to give a mean score, but two times out of two I have had rather disappointing experiences. The first time, I had specifically ordered (and even paid for) a chair, only to be told this wasn't actually in stock. Another item in the same order was also very low quality and broke right away. More recently, I decided to give another chance (I like the products and prices) but again there was an issue. I was surprised at how weak the packaging was- or the couriers had been very rough! The box was broken and some items had fallen out- and while they were replaced, this meant I got my goods very late. I am amazed the rod survived, given that the box was very badly damaged! I really hope there is no hidden damage because I don't want to have to ask for a replacement. Again, I like the products and prices, but from my experience the packaging is suspect and some of the items have either not been offered as shown.

I have had a couple of items from here and they have never been within the timeframe they state for delivery. I am actually looking to buy my items from elsewhere moving forward as the discount doesn’t outweigh bad delivery service.

Only given 2 stars as I'm still awaiting delivery of my order🤔

Usually provide quick service at very competitive prices. Deliveries often received quicker than UK distributors (especially when they use Post Office!!

I got what I ordered no complaints, just took a while to deliver, having said that it was around Christmas so not bad at all.

I buy when they have what I need at the right price. Have spent quite a lot of money with them so l must need a lot !!

i ordered a bit late for christmas, but my order arrived in time, great service .

Delivered to wrong address and too longto wait

I've ordered two items from Fishdeal and neither orders went well. I first ordered two Umbrellas which were a very good price and a good quality, but instead of the 2 to 5 days delivery promised, it took two weeks to get to me. Fishdeal did say that it was down to the courier DPD who were having delivery problems so I gave Fishdeal the benefit of the doubt. My second order was for a Landing Net Pole. The stock level showed one in stock which I ordered immediately. Expecting it to be delivered again with 2 to 5 days I then received an e-mail 4 days after I ordered it saying that due to a stock error it was no longer in stock. Fishdeal offered a similar replacement Pole or a refund which I accepted which was deposited into my bank within 24 hours which was good. So, whilst I have been a bit unlucky with my orders, Fishdeal's prices seem to be very competitive and I would still consider buying from them again, but don't expect any order to be received within the 2 to 5 days as they promise!

Packaging, having purchased some 55kg of ground bait for my 2024 fishing campaign. this came in 3 separate boxes delivered in 2 separate consignments. Therefore the carrier had to deliver twice (false economy). a further issue was the second delivery had 2 of the bags of ground bait inside burst one was a 6.5kg bag and a 4kg bag. we estimate some 1.5 to 2,5 kg of ground bait was lost in transit. Furthermore, a flimsy cardboard box with a few sheets of crumbled-up paper dropped in does not support as packaging and the minimum usage of sellotape to close the boxes was absolutely pathetic.

Good value, goods delivered relatively quickly, I've had friends who ordered good rods and tackle, from a well known delivery company, that have had their deliverys ruined during transit on numerous occasions. I have ordered a few times from fishdeal now and have never had an issue with goods damaged during transit. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.

Goods were sent from abroad, so, not from the UK. The fishing rod arrived in a mangled box, and I was most concerned that the rod may have been damaged in the long transit - fortunately it was not. A sturdy tube would have been a far better package option, and I would be concerned about buying any delicate items from this company again.

A UK based website is a bit misleading as they are in fact in Holland. But that said the delivered on price. And communication with them wasn’t all bad. I will shop there again in the future. But will order well in advance of when I need/want my items.
