My experience with fishdeal has been excellent, i purchased reels and spare spools at very competative prices (by far the cheapest anywhere I looked). Postage was free and fairly quick, (I ordered on a sunday night and they arrived by tracked courior Saturday morning, thats 6 days from the Netherlands to the UK) I think that is pretty good considering I was notified it could be longer due to heavy work loads at the warehouse. The reels are very good quality from a well established company and were well packaged. What`s not to like.
Despite all the negative feedback from other customers, I would buy from them again, without hesitation
Zamówiłem po rez kolejny rzeczy z fishdel zamówienie zostało opłacone i miało być dostarczone od 2 do 5 dni roboczych. Minęło 7 dni roboczych i nie dostałem swego zamówienia więc złożyłem reklamację i otrzymałem je po 3 dniach lecz było nie kompletne i pewna rzecz była pęknięta. Zrobiłem zdjęcia i wysłałem je prosząc o wysłanie mi rzeczy brakującej i całej części w zamian za pękniętą. Kazano mi wszystko odesłać z powrotem. Ja nie chciałem zwracać tego lecz dostać rzecz brakującą i całą z które zapłaciłem i to mi się nie podoba że tak ze mną postąpiono
I can't really say alot because after 2weeks of waiting for my delivery I cancelled it and got my money back, at fishdeal.co.uk, but the delivery was coming on a very slow boat from Netherlands,

Poor shipping and complications
I’m still waiting for my rod to turn up after 3 weeks and find it very difficult to get a response from the company about where my order is or why it hasn’t turned up yet!

Shocking service
State 2-5 days delivery, but state delays when order placed, and it was much longer, and missed a birthday because of this; customer service defended timing because "I'd been informed with the order acknowledgement' - no apology though. Site gives the impression they're in based UK but are actually based in Holland. Packaging literally 3 times bigger than it needed to be. Very poor

ordered ultimate 3 rod pod, didn't come with back rests, so ordered them. as it was a 3 rod pod, seem to me the back rest to accompany the rodpod would also come in 3's. had many discussions with one staff member who fin ally came up with I only ordered 1, why would I do that for 3 rods. No common sense, if they came singly that should have been made clear.

Unhappy
Order took to long. No communication unless I followed up. Package came and rod wasnt even properly packaged against breakage. Reel box was so damaged from improper packaging i had to throw it away. Fishdeal also stick with Evri couriers which is a total disaster. Again my package was delivered to the wrong address and I had to go look for it

Undelivered
I do understand that this is not the issue of the supplier and more the delivery company but the parcel was never attempted to be delivered as it was too big to fit in the delivery vehicle, now to be more specific I’m not too sure how a rod bag wouldn’t fit in the back of a car or van as I’ve travelled with rods and cases much larger

Ordered and payd for a fishing rod needed for an upcoming trip, then after 4 days I contacted customer service to ask when is going to be posted, and assured will be done soon. Hour later got money refunded as my address is on Isle of man, even though the postage charge was different from UK mainland. Disappointed

Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear you have had a bad experience with us.
Unfortunately, it is true that we can only send orders to mainland UK. On top of that, we only receive the notification of the address problem when we are about to print the shipping label.
Normally, you get a notification before you place the order, however, it seems that your postcode was not known by our system and therefore it created a problem.
We keep working hard to one day be able to deliver to your postcode.
Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Kind regards,
Team Fishdeal.

Very slow delivery
I ordered a fishing box and it took ages to arrive. After 5 days of waiting I ordered a similar box from another supplier and it arrived the day after I ordered it and one day before the box from Fishdeal finally turned up.

Very poor service. Item was apparently shipped 16 days ago. I've checked with the courier and they haven't even received the item yet. I've had no update to explain why there is a delay in this transaction.

Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear that you have experienced problems with us.
When a parcel is return to sender, the courier does not notify us about this and the only way for us to know is when the customer contacts us about asking for the parcel. Unfortunately, returned parcels can take some time to arrive and be process by our team, therefore shipping the same parcel is not possible.
We are sorry we were not able to send the predicts again, normally refunds take around 48 hours to be back in your account. If you still have not received the refund, please contact our team to solve this asap.
Kind regards,

My first ever order was damaged and my second order had parts missing. I think coming from Holland, I believe is too far and liable to interference/damage along the way.

Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear you have had a bad experience with us.
Unfortunately, after we give the parcel to the courier, we no longer receive information from the courier in case something goes wrong with the parcel. Therefore, the only way for us to know the parcel was not delivered is when our customers contact us asking about thee parcel.
We hope the new parcel to be delivered without a problem.
