Don’t bother expecting any sort of customer service if you visit the store! Staff have very little knowledge of any of the kit they sell… they are basically ‘box fillers’ for their online business. Had intended buying a new orvis fly rod and asked for the flex rating… was told by the ‘salesman’ “no idea mate… I don’t fish orvis” 🤣🤣. Took my business elsewhere….

false adverts

they advertise on other websites. You spend hours trying to find them on there own websites so you can buy it later to find they have sold it. You spend hours researching a rifle for sale to then be told oh thats sold. Your then told you can have 12 months interest free credit. The statement is under every advertised gun. You then research a rifle they actually have then decide to buy it as its in stock to be told you cant have interest free credit on an air rifle ! The place is a farce. This is off there adverts " Model 60 S .22 Air Rifle

For more info or more photos please contact us, this item can be viewed in our Glasgow or Edinburgh gunrooms on request, RFD Transfers a pleasure, Part-Exchange welcome, Interest Free Credit available on orders over £300, Price Match Promise, Award Winning Mail Order service, open 7 days. "

Items missing from my order claimed it was in the envelope and could not dropped out. No evidence whether I've been opened or not. Expect somebody dipping into parcels before Christmas. I've been a customer for over 20 years more the way that I've been dealt with over the issue just let me feel I just do not want to use this company again. Met with the wall of denial pictures which do not ever since whether the envelope had been opened or not I'm quite frankly just insulting emails and accusations. Two pieces of the order that got through were very much substandard. Tone of emails really very offensive organisation does not seem to have a complaints procedure.

A company that was recommended to me and one which I will use whenever I need angling supplies. Had an issue with a purchase and without question, was replaced immediately.
Great helpful staff, competitive prices and speedy deliveries.
5 Big⭐️s from me. Thanks !

Online and in-store both perfect.

Having shopped in-store a few months ago I found the customer service informative and friendly.

I don't normally leave reviews but my recent online order was exceptional, ordered online on Thursday night and with me on Saturday morning.

Quick and easy as it should be, prices are competitive too.

Dont know why I gave this company a second chance! after vowing never to use them again! received a text message yesterday saying my order would be delivered today from UPS, had taken my only day off to wait in for parcel no sign of parcel so rang up Glasgow Angling at 3.10 to be informed that this was an incorrect text has my parcel is still with them and will now be delivered tomorrow when I am back to work, or will it? by a very rude man with no customer care people skills what so ever. Horrible company to deal with if you have any issues and need to speak to them over the phone.
You might also notice that if you look through the other reviews for GAC there are few if any replies to customers reviews!

Mmmm . . .

Mmmmmm. Conflicts between service and supply 🤔.
Ordered a Penn Rampage II surf rod. Quick delivery, but damaged middle section and the rod tube missing. Email response not good however telephone response initially good.
A partial refund given for the missing
tube, but had to contact Penn spares to secure a replacement middle section (I gave up with Glasgow Angling Centre).
Eventually all sorted.
Beware, some prices are not competitive! Check prices elsewhere

Awful customer service and best avoided

Awful customer service. Received a rod that broke second section down before even being used. Simply threading line through and gentle pulling tip slightly round. It was a clean break, so an obvious fault. Phoned them up and was basically told there was no chance of me getting a replacement. Apparently it was my fault for putting line through it and then giving a very gentle pull. Dreadful.
