Anyone know what is happening with the site? I know they had been conducting maintenance but went to have a look on it yesterday and it was working fine. Went to place an order a couple of hours later and it was closed again. No update on their Facebook page.
Can only imagine it is a serous problem as can imagine the amount of sales they are losing with us being allowed to fish again.

Hope nothing too bad happening. They are normally so reliable. Never had the situation where I have ordered something then got email to say it wasn't in stock.

We are living in strange times and the suppliers are running low on items which means the shops are aswell.
Even those usual shops that you can expect to buy from with loads on the shelves are struggling

Don't read anymore into it than that is my opinion possibly easier to take the site down for maintenance rather than take money under false pretences knowing they haven't got the stock

I would say try a few of the lesser well known shops to find what you are looking for they might just have it in stock

Somehow I very much doubt they would deliberately take their site down for maintenance as they out of stock for any lines... after all, unlike some online retailers, they give live stock values on their site and last time I was on there, just days ago, they had everything I wanted. Shame I couldn't get back on to complete the purchase, as IMO they are one of the best to buy from. Very rare to get a problem and they're very good sorting things out when they do. But, sorry JR, I ordered from Angling Direct and everything arrived this afternoon. I hate them BTW (poor customer service), but needs must. I bet JR are climbing the walls now it's game on again and their e-commerce site is down...

My point exactly. Have items I want to order from them. Ideally need them by next weekend. Want to use JR as so happy with all my previous dealings with them but admit I looked at the Tackle Box and they had everything in. Was tempted to order.

JR last posted on Facebook on 8th saying maintenance was taking longer than expected. Now 12th and nothing more has been said.

Never bought online, normally just turn up or if something big I will email in advance and check stock, always great service.
