Are now sending out split shipments. Ordered six items on sunday then recieved 5 yesterday.
The cm90 missing item has been despatched today.

So I've paid my years priority delivery and even though they showed the item in stock, it's not next day.
Having spoken to them to see what was happening I've been told split deliveries are becoming the norm.

Soda law the item I wanted was the one that's taken the longest. The rest was just spres for rig making.

I guess they may be robbing different stores due to no stock in the main warehouse and that's why the extra day.

I never expect anything the next day the way things are unless I actually go and get it myself I can then guarantee delivery in time lol

Not the most reputable of firms, the mail order side of their business that is. If an order is split due to stock availability, they should be asking you if you agree to it or are willing to wait so the entire order can be shipped. As to next day, I wouldn't bother, given there's zero guarantee it will be next day - read the small print, no courier can 100% say they can achieve that.

TBH this is the only order that I've not recieved next day.
I now only use them if the price is right or if they seem to be the only place with stock.

Placed an order Tuesday night. Paid for priority delivery. Not even been dispatched yet. Shambles.

Yeah they often take about a week to process and dispatch orders I find.

Bristol Angling Centre is generally fantastic though.

Forget about paying for next day with either AD o TFT, might as well flush your money down the toilet as they very rarely adhere to it.

Best i have found if you need something quickly are Bristol Angling or Johnson Ross.

Apparently it's my order will be with me tomorrow and they are going to refund me the priority postage cost.

Bristol Angling & The Tackle Box have always been excellent for me. Usually get stuff delivered within 2 days

Turns out my order hasn't even been collected from Angling Direct yet. Not bad going is it considering I ordered Tuesday evening and paid for priority delivery 😂

I ordered an item from AD Tuesday afternoon and received it on Thursday lunchtime on a standard delivery, probably curse myself now but haven't had any issues with AD over the years though I only use them when I have too rather use local tackle shop.
