Anyone use them? I placed an order with them on Monday morning, right away I got two confirmation emails. They didn't charge my card until today, and when I log on to my account on their site it says I have no orders. Anyone have issues with them?
Their shipping times are slow. Especially after a sale which they just had again. You will get an email when it is actually shipped as well. Their last sale i bought 2 rods. Took almost 2 weeks.
They always deliver... just not quite at the level of TW. I struggle to resist their random 25% off sales and have probably ordered from them 5-6x. The confirmations are not always consistent, but the delivery within a few days always has been. If nothing else, they'll at least get it to you quite a bit faster than BPS would.

Yikes. Glad im not is a rush, then again if I was I would have just ordered from TW and got 2 day shipping.

Only took a week for mine
They are typically my last resort, but the temptation was too great this past weekend. Placed an order to add a few items for spring on Saturday. Received 2 confirmation emails that day and Monday morning was provided the tracking info with an estimated delivery of this Friday. We shall see what happens.
I love it when they have sales, because I go to TW and get price match and get a free shirt
They never have what i want in stock
Dont like BTD at all... Always find myself going back to Tackle Warehouse which has never let me down in the first place...

Plus the sale price end up being more than TW?
BTD is just fine. They always have delievered to me what I ordered and at times they have good sales so why pass up the opportunity?
Just be aware that their shipping is very slow. Know that going in and, meh, why not get a good price?
Orders at BTD are always slower after a sale, you'll get your stuff. The problem is finding what you want in stock over there.
It's a gold mine for sales on Dobyns rods. Worth the long shipment for the savings alone.
24" of ice here so no rush on shipping, lol. Just wish they had a Shimano 25% sale!!! TW and BTD are both reliable though.

Have you got your BPS spring classic flyer yet?
Curado G's I think were $60 off plus you can do reel trade in. I'm not a shimano guy but that's tempting.
As others have said BTD is slower and their stock can be disappointing, but they do have some great sales. I've gotten a few rods, reels, and more "general" tackle and never had an issue. I've called them after a long delay in shipping a reel (after a big sale) and the guys there were cool to talk with.
If I order online it's usually a several hundred dollar order and I like my free shirt and stickers. Any order over 50 is free shipping but I always use fed ex next day shipping for $10 bucks
Couldn't figure out how to edit but I only order from tackle warehouse

That's a good deal. I haven't received the flyer yet, or my wife threw it out. lol. Thank you for the information. I'm fairly partial to Chronarchs and only stray for a couple techniques. The Ci4+ seems like a keeper and I have a couple already but waiting for a thaw.

Ha Ha. I went on a binge lately and decided I was done until the BPS classic came up....then....a buddy texted me the 20% off at BTD and the arashi deal at GM.
So, 9 Arashi and 12 jerkbaits later.....
;-)
You know, I really like BTD and have no complaints ever since they were a sponsor here.

You can't do the trade in on the Curado. The Curado don't go on sale until after the trade in is over.

TW for me. Better selection and faster shipping. Doesn't take much to get to the $50.00 free shipping level.
Academy has free shipping at $39.99 and Fish USA has free shipping on anything. Just bought some Ice Fishing--- yes Ice Fishing stuff from them.
If it cost $.99, it ships free. Some stuff on sale there too. I threw the BPS Classic flyer in the trash. Nothing interests me except maybe the Havoc Senkos.
If you're looking for a rod or reel, give Ron a shout at Valley Sports. He'll take care of you. Shimano wants to unload the Curados because there is a new model coming out and when it hits, nobody will buy the G series. I'll stick with my trusty 200E7's. Wouldn't trade 1 for 2 of the G series.
Well its going on day 5 now, still no order in my account. They charged my card though. I have emailed them twice with no response. If I dont hear anything today, I will be calling them later this afternoon. Im really dissapointed in their service, and I sure wont be using them again.

Were you logged in your account while you placed the order? If not and you checked out as guest, it will not reflect an order to your account with them but still would be processed.. I have had that happen in the past on an order or 2 from them. Could be the issue but who knows. Hope it gets sorted out for you.

Im a new customer so I didnt have an account, I created one when I ordered. Maybe thats why, that could make sense.
So I just got off the phone with them, apparently the hold up was that they were waiting on a missing item. Nice enough guy, but they could have at least sent an email informing me of that. Supposed to ship today, well see.
Ron, I have ordered from you and have been pleased with your service. I would have ordered from you, but you don't carry what I was looking for so I figured I would give these other guys a shot. But believe me anything that I need that you carry I will most likely be going through you.On 2/22/2014 at 8:48 AM, Valley Sports said:If you order something from me, I'm honest with my customers and if I happen to be out of it I will usually the same day and let you decide if you want to wait for it. That's where the personalized service comes in.

Only took 3 weeks for my order to get here.
