Ordered 6 small items. On day 9 and 10 after ordering, was refunded for 2 items that were presumably unavailable which I thought was a little bit late notice. Of the 4 items delivered one pack of foam cylinders was the wrong size. E fly normally good, not this time unfortunately.

I have ordered flies from Essential Fly for several years and have always found them of the highest quality. My only caveat has been on the last two occasions when ordering a number of flies, the entire order has been delayed by weeks not days due to the unavailability of one selection - resulting in their arrival after the the date required. As a constructive point I would cheerfully pay to receive the bulk of the order earlier with the the remainder to follow.

Excellent company to do business with. Great selection of fly fishing and fly tying products backed up by first-class customer service. The day after I submitted my online order I realised I'd selected the wrong type of backing line. A quick telephone call to the company and it was sorted out immediately without any fuss. Will definitely be re-visiting.
