I will not purchase bucktails online no longer.

I would rather have the piece of mind of spending petrol money to go purchase from where I can take out the packet and feel it.

Far too much bucktail I have purchased online goes in the bin as it is far too stiff, ruined.
I'm pretty sure others will know exactly what I mean.

I wouldn't buy black or orange without seing them first, as both these colours have variable dying results.

I agree-much better to be able to see and feel how good the quality is. Also bought some mixed bucktails from a well-known firm and from six colours two were totally useless as much too stiff for anything and also too short!
