Just an update. Danson received the sling back on the 7th and had until the 10th to issue a refund which they did not do and no response to any messages so ebay stepped in today and issued the refund for me. There a bunch of cowboys.

Not used Danso a lot but when i have there's never been a problem. I had to return an item via their Ebay store a couple of months ago and that was fine, refund received the day they got it back.
They used to be great for a "cheque spread" back in the day...

Well i ordered a bivvy and overwrap from Danson's eBay shop mid June, paid in the afternoon and they both arrived the next day. So i can't fault that.

Danson angling probably only surviving due to mail order and no local competition never met so many rude staff theres a young bloke who seems the exception, only been using them because tackle box are click and collect at the moment and I do miss having a look after hearing one of there staff give some bad advice to a chap returning to carp fishing, I will never step in to there shop again.

This thread has made me remember an issue I had years ago with them. I bought a profile special from them after seeing an advert in carp world. It was the first time I'd ever used them. When it turned up something was missing, I can't remember now exactly what it was, but it was something like a storm pole or maybe the adapters. Any way I've remembered I had several unsuccessful attempts to get them to send me the missing part and in the end I think I got it directly from Nash. Never used them before or since. Surprised they are still in business.

I used to be a regular ten years ago and thought that their bad attitude was because they didn't like me for some reason. Turns out, as mentioned below, that the Danson mob are like that with everybody!
Since owning a car I've never set foot in there since, I'd rather spend another 20 minutes driving to get to the TB than ever spend another penny there!

That doesn't look familiar either.
I'm not local to the area and I definitely got the name and address of the shop out of one of the mags. I'm fairly sure it was Carpworld and if I hadn't see their ad I'd have had no idea the shop existed.
If it wasn't Danson then I have no idea where else it could have been, someone in Kent sold me a Chub Cyfish around May 2006 though 
Oh well, guess it's not that important now anyway.

Are you thinking of Johnson Ross? They are very helpful with a car park out the back

Maybe Mark 2 angling now Angling Direct?
Only other shop I can think of is the one that was in welling but that was match fishing oriented?

Not talking about the Tackle Box, I've been there too many moons ago. Bought a Nash Groundhog from them.
I could have sworn the place I bought my Chub Cyfish bivvy from was Danson. It was certainly Dartford area, not that far from the M25 but definitely not the Tackle Box. I found it from an advert in Carpworld, did any other Kent based shops advertise in there?
It had a yard out the back with a couple of cars in that was accessed via a fire door from the shop, that's where they set the bivvy up for me. However I've just looked at Danson on google earth and the back of their shop doesn't look at all familiar. Have they moved? I would have been there in 2005/06 ish.
Got me questioning myself now 
The spod and marker rods I definitely got from them but that was mail order.

Years ago I brought 3 Dave Lane Classic rods in there and had the cheek to ask them to get them out of their cloth bags, lucky i did as 1 had a broken ring, so saved me an hour each way to return them and with their attitude it would have been my fault. never shopped there again
