    Benwick Sports

    I usually use Harrisons and Bag-Up (we all like our free p&p) for my mail order of terminal tackle, but unfortunately they did not have what I needed in stock so I thought I would give Benwick Sports a try. I needed these items for this weekend.

    Ordered last Saturday and it duly arrived Wednesday - not too bad? Well .........

    Firstly I had to pay Royal Mail £1.76 because Benwick Sports failed to pay the full postage.

    Secondly the float order was incorrect, not by the odd one or two but by eight.

    Not a happy bunny by any means as this meant if things could not be resolved very quickly I would be short of things I needed for this Sunday.

    I promptly complained to Benwick Sports via email, and their response was that they would give me a refund if I returned the goods (at my expense I assume?) and they would be happy if I did not order from them again as they did not like the tone of my email! I was not abusive in any way, just stated I was expecting better of them. Guess what? They will not be getting any more orders from me.

    The moral of the this - don't complain when Benwick Sports fail to fulfil your order, better still use someone else! Unbelievably poor service and attitude.

    Very strange, I've never had any problems with them and found them to be the best mail order outlet I've used.
    Certainly sounds like they were trying their best to p you off and have succeeded!

          Never had a problem with them. Always 1st class service. If you want free p&p, try Matchman supplies in Nottingham, always 1st class service with them as well.
          I got a new rod for the wife. I'll miss her, but it's a quality rod.

              I regularly order from Benwicks. Never had a problem, orders, speedy delivery. The odd time they don't have something in stock i have always received the follow on without any problems.

              I use to us Nathanss of Derby (not anymore) i ordered a Sensas fleece but on opening the bag the there was no zip and ordered a Sensas cool bag, which was missing but had been ticked off on the delivery docket.

              Promptly rang Nathans to be assured that they would send me a new jacket and the missing cool bag. Never did receive either, £60 out of pocket, hence took my buisness elswhere.

              Must have spent over a grand at Benwicks including buying rods, If i hadnt had such bad service form Nathans they would have had these orders, there loss not mine.
