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
try contacting customers and explaining why their order was cancelled before just issuing a refund with no explanation as to why and no reply to customers queries i have spent £100s on you fishing stuff but i can safely say i will not be spending an other penny on your website

Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We sorry to hear you have had a bad experience with us.
We have reviewed this situation and we see that our team contacted you on July 13th informing you about the reason why the order was cancelled and refunded.
We also see that you contacted them asking about the order on the 14th and they replied to your email on the 17th explaining that they sent you the email on the 13 and added the explanation once again.
Until now, those emails have not received any reply from your side.
Can you tell us if you received any of our team's emails?
Kind regards,
Team Fishdeal

Built and marketed on a subterfuge.
They use an English name and have a .uk website but they are based in The Netherlands. Delivery times to the U.K. are derisory I ordered on the 22nd of April and am still waiting! (05/05/2023). If they were honest I might not be so scathing but they are not.

Listen to customers to improve your standards
Problems with order again.
Poor packaging with minimal effort resulting in boxes coming open and contents compromised.
Heavy contents should require more attention to sealing the boxes properly to protect the integrity of the contents.
Having to chase up missing or out of stock items on most orders to try and get a refund or redelivery, and longer than average delivery times.

Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear you have had problems with your order.
Unfortunately, after giving the parcels to the courier, they do not contact us if there are delays or problems with the parcels, therefore the only way for us to know the parcel is missing or delayed is hen the customer contacts us about it.
Regarding the packaging, we are already working in finding better ways to pack and send the orders to avoid damages during transportation, however, there is always a small chance that due to the lack of careless the couriers have with the parcels this ones suffer some damages.
If you decide to give us another opportunity in the future, we hope to be able to comply with your expectations.

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.

Order still not arrived.
Was not aware when ordered that the items were shipped from The Netherlands & was given a delivery time of 2 to 5 working days so gifts would have arrived in time for Christmas. Customer Service reacted quickly with a response but site should have reflected the issues with the NL postal service. I now have a disappointed husband :(

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.

My second package was delayed. And when it arrived the box was all torn and broken. Fortunately the contents were ok.
I assume that the shipping company lost track of the parcel.
