Ist time user . Good service unfortunately could not supply all my requirements to tie a wool bugger. That said, neither could any of the other suppliers.

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.

Ahrex Hooks are quality if a bit pricey, they are extremely hard to beat.

Not used any of the materials yet but they all look of good quality. Only slight downside was the wait for some of the Ahrex hooks to come into stock

Although the product I ordered was not what I expected, Essential Fly sent me a return form that was completed. Royal mail collected the goods and returned free of charge and Essential refunded my money immediately
