“A great company who deliver exceptionally quick. Never advertise for sale items they do not have in stock, so you know you get what you order. Freebies dont do it for me as some items you get I dont use in fly tying. But hey who says 1 day I wont.”

“Everything was fine that I ordered, no complaints at all. The act of kindness free gifts is bugging me a little though, I've recently spent 40 odd quid on fly tying and I've missed the boat by a couple of days! Ho hum”

“Though when I placed the order for polyleaders they were awaiting supplies, they kept me informed and I have no complaint about TEF's service. It is a pity that due to the current virus panic I can't try them out!”
