You could try Trentside Angling Centre in Abbey Hulton,they may have some as stocked impulse.Impulse has gone,there was rumours locally they might have someone taking it over but I think the guy had second thoughts

I think that's a fair assumption Tom. No posts on their Facebook page since Oct '23 and their website no longer exists. There's a mobile number on their Facebook page if you fancy trying that and giving yourself a bit of heartache.......

Although my experience is historic, it's much the same re chasing.
Glad you got it sorted

To conclude this thread, it's now all sorted. Timeline detailed below:

Boilies ordered on 2nd October with 5 day leadtime.

Three phone calls during week commencing 9th October with no response.

On 12th October, I sent an email to chase the collection.

On 13th October, posted on here about it.

Received email from Impulse on 13th October saying will have a look at it tomorrow.

Eventually spoke to him on 16th October, said he was moving premises and couldn't provide boilies and said he would provide a full refund.

Chased for refund via email on 18th October - no response.

Got refund through PAYPAL on 19th October.

Not at all impressed with this outfit. Fortunately, Dean Towey at SCIENTIFIC BAITS sorted me some bait out, thanks very much. . My advice is to steer clear of Impulse Baits.

I'd hang back on that, the guy who runs it told me yesterday that he is moving premises and hence cannot roll boilies at the moment. Hookbaits OK as he has plenty of these, but not bottom baits.

A few people who used to use the choc banana and couldn’t get it or contact impulse baits
They were told that they had stopped trading. Is that not the case?? So I can let the boys know who used the bait before.

I heard that impulse baits had stopped trading??
Could be why you can’t find any info.

When I saw your msg the other day I sent a pm about it to Dean on fb.
He said he was between phones and waiting for a number to port over.
I hope he has now got in touch with you.

yeah, do it on their main page for everyone to see, don't private message them , that way they are obliged to reply so that everyone can see that they do respond.

Thanks Mark. The moral of the story is to scroll down, it works wonders, didn't spot that before.

are they on social media? I have often found that the best way to get a reply from companies who are hard to contact is to contact them on social media and asking in an honest and respectful manor about your order. They will usually reply as they dont want bad publicity.

Unfortunately, it's on an industrial estate with loads of units. And like I said, I tried to find it last year but it doesn't have a sign up. When I spoke to him last year, he told me he had the sign removed to stop people visiting at lunch time and just talking!!

Think next week will venture up there and start going into units and asking where it is. I did ask a couple of people knocking around last year though and they didn't know where it was!!

Anyone ever had any problems from these guys? Placed an order on 2nd October for collection as I only live a couple of miles away. And not heard anything since.

Tried calling 3 times, message left. Tried e-mailing them. Can't even go to their factory because I don't know exactly where it is - I tried previously last year and had to give up, there is no signage as he had it removed.
