“Ordered during this COVID crisis and was my first order with your company. I received a phone call from a very kind lady to discuss my order and was most pleased by this, I have since placed a further order and delivery was excellent. I will be placing further orders with you as your service is 1st Class. A special thanks to the lady on the phone. Kind regards, Tom Kinnaird”

“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.”
