5. Shipping Charges



Shipping charges will be added to the goods total at the rate displayed in the P&P column for each item on the web site, subject to the minimum packing and shipping cost of £4.70 and & this is for anything under 1kg & inside the post office parameters for a small parcel (45cm X 35cm X 16cm) & covers
ALL UK addresses.

After this (£4.70) the accumulated postage in the right hand column kicks in & the adjusted postage will be shown at point of payment.
Our maximum packing and shipping cost for mainland service (excluding rods, Bazukas, landing nets & other long or weird shaped items) is £25.00

Highlands and Islands (Islands include the Isle of Wight, Channel Islands, Isle of Man etc) will remain as UK shipping band up to 2 Kilos and within current Post Office parameters.

Larger items that have to go with a courier are subject to all sorts of restrictions beyond our control, such as Highlands, Islands & remote (parts of Cumbria. Northumberland etc).
Prices quoted are based on UK mainland and islands attached to the mainland by a bridge, e.g. Anglesey, Hayling etc.

Offshore Islands including:- The Isle of white, Isle of Mann, Channel islands, Orkney's, Hebrides, Scilly isles ect have all been classed as Europe (by the couriers) since 1st April 2015 Please take this into consideration before placing your order for larger items.

This now (From 1st April 2019) excludes fishing rods, bazukas & landing nets as every courier company is loading long skinny parcels price wise and we will have to obtain a quote for your particular destination, please email before ordering.

Shipping outside the UK mainland will vary, the minimum shipping cost is £15 (This will be calculated at the time of purchase by the payment gateway) . The maximum for Europe is £50 (since Brexit all EU destinations now have to pay local taxes to get their parcel released & delivered, we will supply tracking numbers BUT some countries change the tracking number as soon as they get the parcel.) and the maximum for the rest of the world is £75 (excluding fishing rods and bazukas, see red text above).

2. Dispatch



We endeavour to dispatch goods by the next WORKING day following receipt of the order & cleared funds. Note that working days are Monday to Friday, therefore an order received on a Friday may not be dispatched until the following Tuesday as the post office / couriers generally do not work weekends or bank holidays.

All items are packed under camera so that any discrepancies / disputes can be quickly settled.

If any particular item is temporarily out of stock and we expect to receive replenishment of stocks within 21 days, we will place it on back order and send it on to you at our expense as soon as it is received unless you notify us that you no longer want the item. If replacement stocks are expected within seven days we will notify you and hold onto your order until it is complete unless you tell us otherwise.

Please note that we cannot pass on delivery instructions to your postman / courier driver. You must make arrangements directly with your postman if you are out when delivery is expected.

3. On delivery - Your responsibilities



If you have not received the goods within 5 working days of placing the order please contact us immediately..

Delivery by Post:
If an order sent by post has been damaged in transit, retain all packaging and notify us immediately; Make sure you point out the damage to your postman so we can call on him as a witness and where possible photograph the consignment before opening and after opening showing clearly all the damage, and email us the pictures. Without this proof the post office will not even register a claim.

Delivery by Courier:

If your order is delivered by courier you MUST check your consignment is in good condition, complete, unopened and undamaged BEFORE signing.
If the packaging gives any cause for concern sign “UNCHECKED” instead of your name. This is because once you have signed the courier’s paperwork / PDA, you have agreed the goods have arrived complete and in perfect condition and the courier will not enter into any claim unless it is raised at signature.

If the courier is in any way uncooperative, refuse to sign and call us. This is because we must report any problems in writing to the courier within 24 hours to be able to claim compensation.

If the delivery address is going to be unoccupied on the day of delivery, you should write your delivery instructions, i.e. “leave it in the shed” on a note and sign it and tape it to the front door in an envelope addressed “The Courier”, who will take your note as proof of delivery and put your parcel wherever directed.

Please note that we cannot pass on delivery instructions to your postman / courier driver. You must make arrangements directly with your postman if you are out when delivery is expected.

If you do not adhere rigidly to the conditions in this section no claim for loss or breakage will be entered into by us.

4. Prices / Minimum Order



All prices shown are inclusive of any applicable tax.

Unfortunately due to ever increasing bank charges a minimum order value of £10 excluding P&P applies to all online orders.


Postage Explained:


P&P stands for "Postage & PACKAGING"
Although we reuse as many boxes as possible, padded envelopes, tape etc cost money, as does the diesel to take it to the Post Office.
The smallest of parcels costs us £4.70 at the Post Office counter for a parcel up to 1 kilo in weight with parcel dimensions up to:- 45cm x 35cm x 16cm.

The average price of a mailite padded envelope (when bought in bulk, 1000s at a time) is 41p including VAT.
Bigger ones cost more, smaller ones cost less.
Credit card processers take 4% off the top including the postage you pay us.

The prices in the right hand column labelled P&P are what each individual item costs at the current postage rate. If you add these items up, it is obvious you can get several items posted for the basic postage cost.

When calculating the weight of your parcel, please remember that quality lures usually come in big fancy packets.
In the case of some companies (Salmo, Manns, Rapala etc) a small 20g lure can have anything up to 100g of packaging wrapped round it.

We have calculated the prices in the P&P column to help you plan your parcels on larger purchases.

6. Export



Outside the UK, the customer is responsible for payment of any local taxes or duties levied. Please advise of any special requests (send as a “gift”, sample etc) and we will try to oblige. All overseas shipments are sent out track and trace and insured.

7. Confidentiality



We will keep ONLY your contact details on file for our records. No financial details are saved. Your contact information will only be used to inform you of any problems we are having getting your order to you. We do not send out monthly letters/emails or do special offers, we will only contact you if you have asked us to source something for you. No information supplied to us will be forwarded to any third party at any time for any reason.

8. Office Hours



The office is open Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 5:30pm and orders are processed during these working hours. Therefore to guarantee delivery for the weekend, please place your order early in the week to avoid disappointment, certainly before noon Thursday for small items and before noon Wednesday for large items, e.g. tackle boxes, rods, bazukas etc.

9. Returns Policy


We hope that you will be totally satisfied with your purchase and our service and that you will join the large number of repeat customers who purchase from us hassle free and securely through our web site.

If any goods are received which are damaged, faulty or incorrect please contact us by one of the methods below stating clearly the nature of the problem. We will usually advise you to return the product(s) to us as soon as possible but do not under any circumstances return anything without discussing it with us first.
We will then exchange them or arrange a credit / refund (excluding the shipping charge).

However items ordered in error must be returned in original unopened, undamaged packaging and will be subject to a 25% restocking charge and the purchaser will be responsible for all transport costs.

In the case of damaged goods, retain ALL packaging, photograph before and after opening the packaging and email the photos to us.

When returning goods for any reason always ask for a “proof of posting” certificate. These are free of charge but you must ask for a certificate at the same time that the parcel is processed. Hold onto this as this is your proof of posting should the parcel go missing on it’s way back to us, as it then becomes your job to raise a claim as “sender”.

10. Over run explained


Over run is when a large manufacture makes extra lures for another company. For example Diawa, Grauvell, Dennett, Savagear, Live Target & so on farm out all their manufacturing to large faceless (mostly Chinese) manufacturing companies.
So when one of these companies (let's pick on Live Target, but they all work the same way) orders 1000 of a lure in a specific colour, they rightly expect them all to be perfect.
To accomplish this the manufacturers make around 10% extra if they are needed they get used & the faulty ones (if any) get dumped on Ebay or DHGate, the good spare ones that are not needed are then "over run" & sold off to the highest bidder, because these big manufacturing companies simply don't have the storage space to store them, as they make thousands of lures for hundreds of companies in hundreds of styles & around 67 different colours, do the math !?!?

Small table top companies can't afford the investment in several hundred or maybe a thousand lures at one time & the aforementioned super companies can't be bothered with such small numbers.

These lures then come at a very attractive price & we are able to pass on the savings to you the customer, however they rarely come with anything other than "plain packaging" & mostly just in a poly bag/clear plastic box.
But this fits in very well with our method of running the company as the market in the UK is not big enough to warrant buying 1000 of each colour, 100 of each colour lasts us long enough & gives you the customer a chance to buy well known brands & half price or less.
