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
Got my second order a repeat of first order so well done. 50/50

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.

AVOID AVOID AVOID
Avoid at all cost, items returned to sender on 2 occasions, I thought that Co.uk would be UK based, how wrong was I, based in the Netherlands, sent from the Netherlands, items didn't even reach the UK, phone lines only open about an hour each day, and only on about 3 days each week, I did manage to get through, after phoning every hour on the hour, not even an apology from customer service, buy whatever you want elsewhere, then you might actually receive your goods

Didn’t have the item I had purchased in stock despite showing in stock on the website. They didn’t inform me of this until a few days later when I emailed them to ask where my order was. Also very slow to respond to emails. You get one reply a day. And don’t bother trying to call them, I was waiting for them to answer 45 min and no response.

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,

Hi,
Thank you for you review.
We are sorry you have had a bad experience with us.
From our side we do our best to ensure parcels are delivered on time and undamaged. However, we also depend on the couriers and when they have problems, then that affects our parcels as well.
When you experience any problem with the parcel, it is necessary to contact our team and they will follow the process, depending on the situation, to fix things the fastest way possible.
Part of the process, is to contact the couriers and get more information regarding the parcel so then we can find the best solution. This sometimes take between 10-14 working days depending in the courier.
Of course we will always find a solution for you as we want our customers to be happy with their order and us.
If you decide to give us a new opportunity in the future, please contact our team and they will fix something for you for the inconvenience.

Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear you have had a problem in your order.
When our customers contact us for information about their parcels, we can only see part of the tracking information of the parcel. Once the parcel has left the courier's depo, w scan no longer see anymore data until it arrives in the destination country. Therefore, if the parcel takes longer than expected, we also do not see the whereabouts of the parcel.
From our side, we do our best to give the best and correct information regarding shipped parcels, however, only the courier has the system to check all this data.
Kind regards,
Team fishdeal.

Worst experience ever...First i got fouled be the name(co.uk) made me think they are based in UK. Placed an order(around £400), didn't arrived after 5 days. I get in touch with them, they said as there is one extra large item(false) and will take longer. After 2 weeks may order was still in courier depot(GLS). According to tracking reference, one of the parcels (they split my order in 3 parcels) was incorrect labeled, and sent back to Fishdeal. After 3 weeks, a second parcel was sent back to them due packing damage.
They refund my money, and offer me a free delivery on my next order(which is free anyway if the order is £90+), i don't know what make them think as i will ever order again from them, after such an experience.
So if you order for your next fishing session, and this is in the next month time, don't bother.

Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear you have had a problem in the order.
In our site, there products that are scanned in the system as extra late products. These products need to be shipped with a special courier that can ship extra large products towards the UK. Normally, orders with extra large products take longer to be ldeivred and this is specified at the meant go checkout before making the payment for the order.
Our company is based in the Netherlands and you can find all our information in the site. We are sorry that the website ending ".co.uk" caused any type of confusion.

Hi,

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.
