Returns and exchange details
Changed your mind? We accept returns for exchange or refund within 14 days if our procedures are followed, except for goods that have been custom-made for you or modified in accordance with your requirements.
If returning goods from outside the UK you must contact us first and follow our guidance on completing the CN22 customs description correctly.
Returned goods must be unused and in the original packaging. Postage costs will not be refunded, and any UK customs charges incurred on receipt of incorrecty labelled returned goods will be deducted from the refund due.
You are responsible for the return postage costs and for the goods themselves until safely received. Retain proof of postage until we have acknowledge safe receipt and issued your refund or exchange.
Payment
We do not accept payment by installments, cheques, postal orders or trades, please do not ask.
Delivery
Delivery is usually by Royal Mail and all items are sent securely packaged. Blanks / rods are posted in a protective tube, purchases of £50 or more are posted with either tracking or requiring proof of delivery, with insurance.
Delivery times are typically 2-3 days in the UK, and by airmail 5-10 days in Europe and 10-18 days worldwide. Deliveries cantake longer especially in other rural areas. Italy usually take at least 14 days . Since 2014 I have only had three packages not arrive at all, but a handful have taken 18 to 21 days by airmail even within Europe.
Please bear with me if you are unlucky enough to experience longer than normal postage as Royal Mail provides a lost package service but will not investigate until 20 days after posting. In the event your parcel is lost or damaged, you will receive my choice of a refund or replacement, provided you supplied the correct delivery address in the first place.
We will always combine shipping and will always refund any excess on delivery charged if more then £3. Listed prices are based on single item purchase. Usually additional items that are similar or smaller in size can be posted for little or no additional cost.
Goods include EU / EEA duties and VAT sales tax and no further import charges should apply in the EU-EEA area.
Customers from outside the EU-EEA are responsible for any import duties, charges and sales tax that may apply in your country.
Additional policies and FAQs
We will replace any defective new item at no additional cost, or offer you your choice of a substitute or refund if no longer available or out of stock. If a rod or rod blank is defective, we will replace the defective section. Components are covered individually and the warranty does not extend to the rest of the rod you build from them or any consequential loss.
Breakages: The warranty does not cover future accidental damage, normal wear and tear, loss or mis-use. Rods should be stored and transported in a protective tube, and be fully dry after use before storage. We have some replacement sections, and whilst stocks last replacement parts may be available at proportionate cost + postage. Replacement sections are not available for rods sold as seconds or that are discounted in an end-of-line clearance.
Returns for replacement or refund: To obtain a replacement all pieces or sections of the original item must be returned so that the defect or cause of breakage can be assessed. Before doing so with a built rod, carefully remove any components you wish to retain for re-use, these will otherwise be disposed of.
Appropriate use: The warrantly is void if the item is modified or used for purposes other than to make a fly rod or (excepting rod blanks) to repair a fly rod. Fly rod blanks are designed and warranted for singled handed use with a line of the correct weight using the AFFTA standard unless otherwise stated.
Seconds: Items sold as seconds are cosmetic seconds that are fit for purpose but there is no warranty or right of return on goods sold as seconds.
Future accidental damage or loss may also be covered on your Home and Contents insurance policy.
