Everyone's doing it have a look at the likes of b & q, order on their website. & Ships straight from the manufacturer.
Was looking to do some flooring, none of the items were available for collection locally.

B&Q yes but only for their online products, not everything they sell.

B&Q operates an online Marketplace where thousands of products are sold by third-party verified sellers. When you order one of these items, the third-party seller ships it directly to you rather than B&Q stocking and dispatching it themselves.

And the warranty is with the seller not B&Q just be careful that you get a manufacturer’s warranty from them that way your covered, if the seller goes bust

As my old man found to his horror, a lot of their stuff is also drop shipped. His spanking new gazebo came with Chinese labels....and the feet missing. Took him nearly a month to put it up once all items were in his hands.

This is the problem. We have come to the point where companies are now finding it's easier and cheaper to allow the manufacturer to send direct. Those claiming to be "manufacturers" are merely drop shipping themselves.

A few have found out the hard way that when you just point at an item at a catalogue whilst visiting Pudong on a business trip, your customers get a bit peeved when they realise the company you bought from hard zero input into the design and distribution.

Somebody earlier posted a frightfully long list of taxes / duties already payable by many of us. In two years or less ( its already been brought forward to 2028 from 2029 ) there will be another to add to that list. This is the import duty payable on low value items from the likes of Temu, Aliexpress, Shein etc. The EU has already implemented their version, whereby each item within an order which falls into a different category / product code incurs a separate 3 Euro import duty fee. It's even possible that various items of terminal tackle made from different materials ie steel, rubber, plastic, silicone, tungsten etc could have their own codes and duty on each item. So you could order 10 different items and incur 10 separate import duty fees which could exceed the actual cost of your initial order. Fill your boots lads while you can, cos the bubble is gonna burst

From what i've seen, this has now turned into a bit of a panto. The TEMU Ronnie Kray is now having an online dust up with father of the year Darrell Peck.

I love carp fishing...

Yes, I don't think C*ntyCraig knows what to do when people actually respond. Always was a skinny little runt with a big mouth and small brain.

Sharing someone's location because he thinks he's some kind of a detective (Companies House look up that anyone with an IQ over50 would think of) isn't really very impressive.

Glad to see his followers on Instagram are dropping in number...I guess some are intelligent enough not to associate with the retard whilst others remain purely to watch the impending train crash.

Still not seen any fishing content worth watching from him, just tiling and toilet fitting.

I very much doubt he was butt hurt mate, after that much time in prison he's probably got a ring piece tougher than kangaroo leather.

My God - is this what carp fishing has come to?? How very depressing.

Talking about someone's wife & children, publishing addresses (even though it's patently not Pecky's home address and of course it's public info), making veiled threats. It's beyond the pale.

If Pecky, OMC, Korda and the others targeted, have any sense they will be getting injunctions issued ASAP.

What ever you think of the commercialisation of our pastime over the last 30yrs, or so, why would anyone want to support this aggressive ex-con?

I believe strongly that we are all better than this - look at the Fishing & Mental Health thread thats currently running to see the positives from both fishing and this forum.

Just waiting for Jim Shelly pitching in and it going to even more rat ****.

Ignore it, them ( or they if preferable), go fishing, do your own thing and land a couple of fish quietly then go home to your family.

It’s not really that difficult is it .

Apart from this forum, when it comes to fishing I don't really do social media, blogs and other forms of communication, so I don't get to see this sort of stuff. I think I'll keep it that way, it seems it's only there for a bunch of egos to sell me stuff, I doubt if it will help catch more fish.

Just seeing the way he went after Darrell Peck bringing his missus and kids into it made me realise what a total 🔔end he is and i’ll never use his site. Reckon quixote a few other people have that attitude too.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
