“Very prompt delivery and handling online. Would be good to remind customers of the discount codes that are in operation at the time. I had been adding to my basket and when I ordered missed the code out, and therefore the discount.”

“Although the flies I ordered took longer to arrive than I expected ( about a week ) , I was more than happy with the quality of the materials used and the tying. Will continue to purchase from this supplier as good quality hooks are required on my visits to Dever Springs.”

“Very disappointed this time. Order placed 31st May for a VERY popular fly, the Grey Wulff. It took TWO MONTHS to arrive. Have had to move to another supplier.”

We are very sorry for the delay on the dispatch of this fly. You are right that it is indeed a very popular fly and unfortunately we had sold out of this fly during the start of the season and into May. We have our flies made up in very large batches and unfortunately this takes time hence the delay in getting it to you . Please be assured that we carry hundreds of thousands of flies in at any one time and we are genuinely sorry that you were not able to get these flies sooner. We hope you saw the email communications from our customer services team keeping you in the loop on this matter. We also hope you will give us an opportunity to remedy this situation for you and reassure you of our commitment to our customers. With best wishes The Essential Fly
