Ordered the sonik tek bank bivvy 2 man

Ordered the sonik tek bank bivvy 2 man. Went to set it up and had already been used. The peak pole was broken and had bird poo on bivvy. Sent emails to fishdeal with no replies. I would suggest buying from a UK supplier and stay clear of fishdeal as they are based in Netherlands.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience.

For this type of situation, we are able to arrange a home collection so you would not need to travel to a drop-off point. As a summary of our previous communication, we informed you of exactly this option and offered to schedule a pickup from your address on a weekday of your choice.

Unfortunately, we did not receive a response from you to confirm a preferred day, which is why the collection could not be arranged.

We always do our best to support our customers and resolve any issues as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Kind regards,
Team Fishdeal

Avoid

Avoid – Poor Customer Service and No Support With Returns
I would not have ordered from Fishdeal had I realised they were based in the Netherlands. The use of a .co.uk website gives the impression that you're dealing with a UK-based retailer, which influenced my decision to purchase.
I returned a bivvy following the instructions provided and have proof of postage and tracking throughout the process. The parcel reached Dutch customs but has now been stuck there for well over a month with no movement.
Despite repeatedly contacting Fishdeal, I have been fobbed off at every opportunity and received little to no meaningful assistance. Rather than helping investigate the issue with the carrier, customs, or their receiving depot, they have effectively left me to deal with the problem alone.
I have asked for clarification regarding the return address, customs documentation, and what will happen if the parcel is ultimately declared lost. These are reasonable questions, yet I have received no satisfactory answers and feel completely ignored.
As a customer, I fulfilled my obligations by returning the item correctly and retaining all the required evidence. I am still waiting for my refund and have now had to raise a dispute through Klarna due to the lack of support and communication.
The most frustrating part is not the customs delay itself, but Fishdeal's apparent unwillingness to take ownership of the issue or assist a customer who is simply trying to obtain a refund for a returned item.
Very disappointing experience.

Not a UK company. Long delivery time

Didn't realize the company was based in Netherlands. Delivery took ages. So much so I had to order from another company. The package did not arrive in time for my trip.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience.

We understand your frustration regarding the delivery time and that the parcel did not arrive in time for your trip. We always aim to dispatch and deliver orders as quickly as possible, however once parcels leave our warehouse, delivery times are handled by the shipping carrier and can occasionally take longer than expected.

We also understand there may have been confusion regarding our location. We are based in the Netherlands.

We appreciate your feedback and apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,

Faulty goods and terrible customer service …

I received a faulty rod pod and initially requested a replacement part. A photo and then a video was requested and it's now been over a week since I sent them. Apparently they are reviewing my return despite their own T&Cs state you can return within 50 without a reason. I've chased this several times and the response is always I'll pass it onto the returns team. Also to note delivery estimates are allot longer than advertised.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience.

We understand your frustration regarding the delay in handling your warranty request for the rod pod. As part of our standard warranty procedure, we may request photos and sometimes a video in order to properly assess the issue and determine the correct solution. Once this information is received, it is forwarded to our returns/warranty team for review.

We are sorry that you feel the process has taken longer than expected. Our team is currently handling a high volume of requests, which can unfortunately cause delays in response times, but your case is still under review and will be processed as soon as possible.

Regarding delivery times, these are estimated timeframes provided by the carriers and can occasionally vary due to factors outside of our control.

If your case is still pending, we kindly ask you to contact us again so we can prioritise and help speed up the resolution of your issue.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Kind regards,
Team Fishdeal

I recently purchased some tackle from Fishdeal and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The website was easy to navigate, with a great range of products at really competitive prices. My order arrived quickly and was well packaged, so everything was in perfect condition.
I also appreciate the regular deals and discounts, which make it even better value for money.
Overall, a smooth and hassle-free shopping experience from start to finish. I’ll definitely be ordering from Fishdeal again and would highly recommend them to anyone into fishing.
