Anyone had any bad experiences with these guys?

I did a bit of research and they appear to have a decent enough reputation with the UK market with a quick delivery turnaround. I ordered an item last Monday, (28th) and received an email the same day saying it would be dispatched that week. I dropped them a quick email on Friday last for an update but got no reply. Did the same again yesterday and got a one liner saying it had been dispatched and that they would send me a tracking number but nothing since......

OK, I know it's only just over a week but just a bit concerned....

They have a notoriously bad reputation in Holland, for the very same reasons you mentioned.

As far as I know they don't rip people off and their stuff usually arrives, but they're extremely slow and very tough to communicate with. Just repeating what I read online every other day though. I've never ordered with them because of the many complaints.

Good news is my order turned up today......I did laugh though.....

I ordered a Tempest V2 Skull cap, (I thought I was lucky and had found someone with old stock)....I even messaged them beforehand and asked, "is this definitely for the V2?" to which they replied yes......anyway, when I opened it up it was a skull cap for the Tempest Advanced 100, however I read at the weekend that Trakker had said the Tempest Advanced 100 Skull Cap Wrap fits the old V2 so I thought I would try it..........hey presto it fits!!

So I went to all that trouble to order a Tempest Advanced 100 skull cap all the way from Holland taking over a week when I could have just popped in to my local Angling Direct.....and it cost me £20 more.....

It wasn't that it took longer smart arse, it was the lack of communication that concerned...
