Not saying you shouldn't give them a pat on the back but isn't that what you paid them to do? Or did they exceed your expectations?
I was thinking of getting some gear from there 'cos the prices look keen but now I'm wondering if it's worth it.

 

bloody hell that was fast... it took us a month for a floatation suit too come too us.

 

I ordered my floatation suit from them, i paid for next day and it took a week, they said it got sent to the wrong depot and would refund my postage, they never did. So they lost themselves a customer!

Now im a veals man all the way!

Ordered bits and bobs from them on sunday and mine hasnt arrived yet and i only live about an hour and halfs drive away!!

Thats only 2 days so im not bothered but, it does seem weird that you have yours in less than 24hrs to wales! wonder if folk get special treatment if they spend more..? (unless they have all different postage deals)

 

Have used them half a dozen times.
One good, five bad.
Ordered rods and reels, only sent reels and "sorry rods out of stock, not re-ordering" they sent two reels, when I questioned the whereabouts of the third, oops mistake, then they charged more p+p total 5 weeks to get half what I ordered.
Not going back.

I have bought quite a few bits and pieces from them over the years, bought a new Floaty suit in May from them like Taff's suit it arrived the next day :clap3: to be honest I cant fault them so far all stuff I have ordered has been next day or day after

 

o find the ex vat thing on their website annoying.. you think you have spotted a bargain but then you realise you have vat to put on then postage and suddenly you may as well buy it down the road dor a fiver more and have it in your hand straight away

 

I bought a fly rod and reel that came with a free bag, they forgot the reel and the bag.
Finally got the reel, never saw the bag.

 

my gear arrived today! i ordered 2 small rig wallets (£3? each) and a dose of other bits n bobs to the value of £40 odd quid.. They never had any empty rig wallets left so they sent me 2 x small rig wallets full of feathers! 20 sets of feather for free aint bad..

kudos to GAC for this one!

Posts: 91 I'm never using GAC again, just ordered a rod from them, it took 4 days to arrive and had a big chip in the blank - and they had coloured it in with black marker pen to disguise it!
They sent out a replacement and it too was scratched and chipped.

 

I contacted Penn earlier this year because I was struggling to find a Pit Viper. Penn gave me a contact at Glasgow AC, och aye, we've got a Pit Viper, £195 to you. Er, Veals have just sold out at £125! Oh? Well our's are still £195, do you want it?

Give me Veals or Gerry's any day.

I use GAC regularly for Mail Order and usually check the web for prices. Have always got price matching when asked. (I think this does not apply for in store purchases (but then other non fishing stores will not price match (for in-store purchases) a shop 100mls away either). Naturally the item must be in stock at the other store to qualify for the Price Match!

Have never actually visited the Store in Glasgow personally, but am perfectly satisfied with the Mail Order Service.

I think, If your face fits then they will come and go a little:g:

 

Still waiting :schmoll: ordered 2 weeks ago floation suit and storm shelter..

 

I've bought bits and peices off them over the last two years and never had a problem.

 

I have had a mixed experience of them. A couple of orders have taken up to 2 weeks and yet others have arrived in less than 24 hours. I think it may be down to whether something is in stock or not. I wish they would just tell you at the time of ordering then at least you could order elsewhere if you wanted.

The GAC website now has an option to check stock levels for each item I believe. I would agree that sometimes a temporary lack of stock can delay deliveries, though it seems less of a problem now than previously (especially Mustad gear, which was responsible for many a long wait!!).

Also Anglerscorner?....They really are very quick and trusting.Great people to deal with.

Excl VAT - that is one thing that really bugs me, like you say you think you got a good deal then its like blimey, might as well spend a few more quid and drive to a local shop

 

Oh aye, Spottydog, they're realy good. The battery on my Tiga packed up and the battery manufacturer was reluctant to replace it, Spottydog got it sorted.

 

I ordered 2 Penn rods from them 8 weeks later i cancelled the order!!!!

 

i have ordered from gac before, and was dissapointed.
and wrote off my last order after 2months still waiting.
