Default McHardys of Carlise

Has anyone got any experience of this company ?.
I ask because I had never heard of them before and only found them doing a google search one evening.

On Sunday i made an order with them of 8 items , and was expecting an email from them Monday evening saying they have completed the order and has been sent out. Nothing , Tuesday - Nothing.
they are not exactly what you would call keen on taking money.
And i would have thought companies would take any sale at the moment because of the way things are lol.
I got an automated email of the order telling me the order total but no details of delivery, on there site is says at cost and in the terms it states £1 or £2 is the usual for small jiffy bags.

I have found them very good but by no means of the imagination a "slick operation" when it comes to e-trading. I usually e-mail my order to ascertain availability and then place order by phone. Good quality kit and prompt delivery.

Been on the phone and the hold up was down to Veniard with an order. and John has sadly been ill recently and is taking a bit longer to recover, But the lovely woman i got on the phone has come up with an alternative for the Veniard items and is adding an other spool of thread for the same price as Johns.

So i wish John a speedy recovery.

I was not complaining about there service , just wandering on there speed lol.
But it is a shop i have kept in my bookmarks and will use them again

Lol i can see why you would spend more money with them. Very polite and friendly.
I asked if she wanted the order number and the reply was no just 2 items from the order will do.
gave her the first 2 items and she said ah yes i remember that order please hang on. and within a couple of mins was all sorted.

Will be bale to tie up some of wee jimmys heather flies and an other pattern for the water i fish.
