“Flies themselves are well tied and great quality. What's frustrating is the proportion of orders which are delivered tied on hooks which are not the size ordered.”

“Having placed my order a week later my order had not arrived. I went to my account only to discover that one of the items ordered was out of stock therefore the order could not be fulfilled. A few days later I called and spoke with a helpfull lady who checked to see when your delivery was due.As luck would have it the delivery had arrived that morning. The rest was plain sailing. The disapointment was due to a lack of communication after the order was placed.A email stating an item was out of stock and therefore the order would be delayed would of been appreciated.”

“I'm a new customer, but I'm already impressed with the speed and efficiency of TEF. I placed two orders and they were despatched on the day and arrived a.m. the following day. The items were exactly as described. Super service! I will certainly buy again and would recommend TEF to others. And they have a great range of products too.”
