I have used them a few times and they have been faultless, I normally use my local tackle shop in Keynsham but AD have some cracking deals that my local shop can't compete with

Ive just ordered an overwrap for my trakker and had choice of tackle tavern with one in stock or angling direct with a few in stock,so I decided the tackle tavern can have the £160 (£5 more in AD)rather the shop and it really and I confirmed everything via email before buying it as I find AD stick levels online very miss leading

The lads at my local AD are very helpful & always try to get the best price etc for me. Can't fault them. I have ordered online once and it was terrible., not in stock locally.

My local one in Sutton in ashfield is bang on always helpful and help order parts years after warranty. Have to admit they are changing how they stock stuff now and seem to be favoring a large warehouse system. Remember lads these stock more than just carp stuff.

It really is a joke of a company. A few yrs ago I popped into the Norwich shop fora set of sonic alarms inan emergency.
Got told the set was £150 so I asked if the would match an Internet price. He asked what the price was so told him £125.
The reply was £135 is the closest we can get to it. So I asked if they could get the Internet on the till. He replied yes. So I said type this in. (Yep you guessed it )

Always check net prices when in the shop and point it out to them.

Retailers often have on-line prices which aren't available in store, are you saying this wasn't a internet only deal, if you are, it's not clear

i haven't found them too bad over the years, i always prefer to go to my local tackle shop if they what im after.
the most recent return experience i had was was with an Advanta Sleeping bag my wife bought me for christmas. It has a crash zip but when i went to pull the bag apart to get to my rod for a take, the zip ripped away from the bag and exposed all of the stuffing.
Went to the Southampton store, showed them the bag, they were prepared to swap it immediately but discovered they had no stock and it was discontinued, this happened a week prior.
Advanta had just bought out a new model which was much better than my original, fleece lined, waterproof, better zips, warmer, removable lining for summer use and it was only £10 more.
I'm glad my old one broke because what i have now is much better and would recommend it to anyone

I had a recent experience with a fox bedchair where a leg would telescope into itself under my weight.
Contacted AD and sent back for them to repair the leg. I assume it went back to fox. Came back to me with a new leg but this one wouldn't fully retract. It was 2 inches proud
Sent that back and they sent me a brand new bed. Took it out the box to test it and 2 of the legs had the same collapsing under weight issue.
Have to say that AD were brilliant as far as customer service. All the collections and redelivery etc was arranged and their communication was great.
Fox on the other hand..... you'd honestly expect a £350 bedchair to be designed and manufactured to actually work. I'll think twice about buying fox gear in future. Utter garbage.
