Default Mullarkeys! How long does it take!

Hi all

Ordered a new pair of neoprene waders last week in preparation for my assault on the Conwy. Reports of sea trout in the river now.

My problem? Well, I ordered these waders over a week ago now and so far. . . zilch. . .nada. . . zip. . .SOD ALL!

I'm just about to fire off an email to them. I was just wondering if any of you guys/gals had any idea how long I'm likely to wait? I'm sure I'll get some corporate line along the lines of "Your orederd is being processed yada, yada, yada" and don't expect a truly accurate reply. If it's going to be much longer I'd rather know - cancel my order and just get them from Foxon's which is only a few miles away from me.

Thanks.

Default Mallarkey at Mullarkey's

Mullarkey's are fairly local to me, being based in Derby.

Having been to the shop a couple of times over the years I gave up on them - it's a bit of a shambles.
Now I go to either Walkers of Trowell or Mr Arfield at Bakewell Flyfishing.

Neither of which helps you very much at this point in time

I'd get on the phone ASAP and shake them up a bit.

I believe it's called "monstering"...

Shame you didn't check out my review of waders, too late for them too I guess...

I may be wrong but 20 yrs ago Mullarkeys were at Carlisle and they seemed to be the first discount mail order co around at the time. I visited their shop once and it was like a menagerie, maybe they haven't changed

I waited 2 weeks recently for a fishing bag.I get the impression they don't order from the suppliers until you order from them.
