Im sure there will be a few post lockdown sales
If you really needed to buy something you'd buy it without a deal. As has been said multiple times on here, the shops are not in a position to shift a load of tackle at the moment. Most have furloughed staff, their suppliers also have furloughed staff and shipping is restricted, both internationally and domestically.
Considering most of them struggle to keep up with big sale events when everything is going full pelt I think this is sensible. It's not as if we can even use it for the time being!

Agree 100%. The network is understaffed and overworked as it is with essential items.
Do people really NEED these purchases.
There's delivery drivers and posties out there risking their health. Just have some patience people ffs.

them delivery drivers might be out of work had they not had work to keep them ticking over,especially self employed couriers like Hermes and amazon use alot of. yes the virus is devastating the country but not everyone has the luxury of being furloughed or retired or wealthy enough to take 7 weeks off work. I've worked all the way through and with good hand and personal hygiene, social distancing and 2 metre rules within the work place I cant see the problem with people ordering items that might give them something to do during their lockdown.
self employed people need work to put food on the table

That argument is flawed and at best a pile of ****. I have family who are self employed and provide services for the likes of Hermes etc.
The essential deliveries they are making are up 50% so they are working longer hours anyway. This they understand and are willing to do for people in need of medical and food supplies etc.
What they are getting is people ordering **** because they are bored. Rugs, lamp shades, golf clubs, fishing equipment.
This is delaying the essential items because the network is understaffed and overy worked.
It's really not that difficult to understand.

Apologies if I came across as curt in my response. It's a subject that I have strong feelings about.

is it the peoples fault that order the stuff or the tackle companys staying open to try and earn a little bit of a living or is the couriers fault for taking on the delivery in the first place?? if the couriers felt that strongly then surely they would refuse to collect the parcels from the shops??
I dont believe that bull**** about couriers putting their lives on the line,I've been delivering pallets and pallets of bleach and washing detergent to supermarket distribution centres,should people stop buying bleach and washing their clothes to protect me.??

Trouble with lot of these courier companies the likes of DPD , UK mail ,Parcel force , FedEx , Hermes , yodel their all self employed drivers with vans on lease so If they ain't working they ain't getting paid plus the likes of DPD , FedEx , U.K. mail fine the driver if they don't show up and ain't got cover for the rounds

A bivvy or a bedchair isn't 'tackle' is it.
Maybe think before trying to post failed attempts at sarcasm.

I disagree with you. Too much work is hardly a problem when you have tens of thousands of people that will have no job left to go to when all this is over.
I've been doing 14 hour days throughout this ordeal. I think we're the lucky ones. I'd rather that than stuck at home drawing rainbows for the window. It's those with no job to go back to that I feel really sorry for. Hard times ahead mate.
