Every other shop seems to have 10% off at the min some even have 15% but they never seem to have any discount. I need a few things and only they have them so was hoping they might have a discount code in the new year 🤞the tackle box never seem to have one either.

I used them pretty much exclusively last year, repeat custom most months, probably 4 grand in total, various emails and phone conversations, not even a card in the last expensive christmas order

I guess if doing massive business people arent reliant on sales sales

They probably don't need to. Why give profit away if you are selling out of stuff anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

To make even more money. They very rarely run out of anything. One of the few places that always have everything in stock. Can get the same stuff from ad with 10% off but dont really like using them.

They've been out of a lot lately but I imagine that's Covid.

I'd rather pay the extra and get a decent service
Everyone moans about the service at “most” of the other shops but you never hear a moan about Johnson Ross or the tackle box

Wonder why....

I think previously they gave a discount voucher to certain customers - who spent over £1,000 in the past year, something like that? As most are saying, they don't need to generate extra sales - just walk into the shop on any day, any time - always buzzing. Best tackle shop in the UK, no doubts and service is excellent online or in the shop.

Just another one to sing JRs praises.
I only use them these days for stuff I can't get from our US supplier (Big Carp Tackle), but every time, the JR delivery reaches me faster than a US mail delivery.
Maybe one day I'll get back in the shop again......

They had 10% off on Black Friday. They do give a bit off to regulars and large purchases. I just ordered a set of three custom builds yesterday and got 10% off which is a standard discount on most of their rods. I still believe that Vic is arguably the best rod builder in the country and that is a massive draw to JR.

What you do get is outstanding customer service, not just from Matt and Anthony (bloody forgot the name of the other brother, think it's Lewis but I'mgettingold and forgetful) but every member of their staff too. They make great recommendations but nothing is pushed upon you. Even their own brand of Matrix Innovations isn't rammed down your throat. If they feel another brand may benefit you, they'll offer it as a possible solution and that's bloody good service that cares about their customers as far as I'm concerned.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
