Has anybody had any trouble with this company ?

I ordered some line 2 weeks ago , they took the money straight away , but no goods have arrived .

I've emailed them 3 times but no reply......is this normal for Atkins Angling ?

not impressed

i have had problems with the length of delivery of a couple of things albeit they turn up eventually ,my only advice to people using them is if you want something in a hurry dont order from them .....

They offer great prices but delivery time is normally about 2 weeks which is a pain in the ass!

cheers Diarmid.

Why can't they just communicate with their customers ??

I had to cancel an order. Online they said everything was in stock but when I called they said nothing was in stock! I wouldn't use them again to be honest.

This appears to be the method more and more online retailers seem to be taking. Only ordering stock when the orders come in.

I have had similar experiences. Keen prices and free delivery, just be prepared to wait and expect no communiation or indication as to when your goods will arrive.

Same here, ordered a Loop Multi rod, said it was in stock, called them yesterday after waiting a week and they informed me that the rod is being shipped from loop. In stock... right.

How about some terrible examples of service.

Recently I heard about a guy who spent about £1,500 on a hardy rod , reel, spool and lines to find out a week later that his “new” rod was not new at all. The tackle dealer had previously hired the rod out for the day in order for an angler to test it and it was that angler (in the same syndicate) who pointed out a unique point about the thread work of the butt ring. The thread work wasn’t considered a defect and so the dealer refused to replace it with a new one from the factory, he even denied hiring out rods on such a basis…even though he is well known for this sort of practice. He can only guess how many people may have used the rod before it was bought “new”.

Then there is the fishery that claims to stock fish that anglers often don’t see caught. Miraculously catches by unknown anglers appear in the book after all the other anglers have left. Now the anglers who know the water will only pay to fish when they themselves see evidence of fish.
