crankcaster100 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 And to top it off when I complained to them they didn't offer me anything for my troubles. You need to make it right Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 3, 2014 Super User Posted April 3, 2014 I've never had to sign for TW. Just got a shipment yesterday. Was on my porch when I got homer yay! Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted April 3, 2014 Super User Posted April 3, 2014 I always spend over the minimum and then pay for overnight shipping. Ten bucks to get it tomorrow? Can't beat it. Never once had an issue. Hootie I always pay for 5$ two day shipping and I've always had my package(s) arrive on time....UNTIL today. It wasn't TW fault though. I think somebody at UPS forgot my stuff in CA or just didn't put it on the truck so it left a day late. TW did fix it for me though and it will be here tomorrow and the reimbursed me the 5$. Quote
Crappiebasser Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I've never had to sign for TW. Just got a shipment yesterday. Was on my porch when I got homer yay! I had to sign once when I ordered 3 reels and a rod because of the value. They also called me to confirm the order before they shipped it. Usually they leave my ~ $50 orders though. Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Issue was resolved with TW. We had a miscommunication over the "in stock" dates on the website, but it is now resolved. Just got my email saying the package shipped! Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted April 5, 2014 Super User Posted April 5, 2014 I think "in stock" is when they "expect" to have them, not a guarantee. Quote
gripnrip Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Yes. When it says in stock, it means the expected time the manufacturer will have their product to TW. Â I watched the Hudd dates religiously. Â They kept changing the dates. Â I emailed TW and told me how it works. Â I then purchased an order for them anyways and I received the package this past Wednesday. Â Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted April 5, 2014 Super User Posted April 5, 2014 Frequent TW a lot. Â Never had an issue, the rods are always packed well. Â I do have to pay sales tax, but the next day shipping makes up for it if I need it. Â I would rather order from TW and get it the next day then have to drive to 80mi to BPS to try and find what I'm looking for. Â And anytime I go to BPS you just can't spend $50.00, TW I order what I need to make my $50 and I can use my time fishing instead of sitting in traffic. Quote
hatrix Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 This doesn't really have to do with TW but I had a BPS gift card and ordered some things. Some of them were on back order. I was charged shipping twice at $11 each and it was 2 weeks just to get the times that were actually in stock. Never again.... Quote
Super User CWB Posted April 6, 2014 Super User Posted April 6, 2014 So I recently bought a few reels from TW and I am very impressed by their service. Â Bought the Lew's BB1, Lew's BB1HZ, and Lew's BB1 Pro PS1HZL. Â I'm making this post because it wasn't just the reels (which I received yesterday and cleaned, lubed, and lined them today) I was impressed with but TW customer service. Found a price online at another website for the BB1's at $120 and the BB1 Pro at $169 which are crazy good prices. So I called TW and asked if they could do a price match because their service is great and they matched the price and got them shipped out next day after that. Big thanks to TW Should have contacted Ron at Valley on the BB1's. You would have saved even more money. I did. Quote
5fishlimit Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Only thing I didn't like about ordering to them was because they are in California they have to charge sales tax to the customers in California. Now I am moving out of the state, it will be tax free. Sweet! This whole no sales tax for online retailers is going to disappear very soon. States are aware that they are losing a lot of revenue and are going after small businesses that order their supplies online as we speak. Eventually, I see the no sales tax thing going the way of the dodo bird. I work for a medical supply distribution company that does business online, and in the past we only had to charge sales tax for Ohio, California, and Florida as we have a physical presence in those states. As of 1/1/14, we are required to charge taxes in 17 States. Amazon being the case study for all of this you can easily do a search for more information. Just an FYI. Quote
5fishlimit Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Otherwise, my experience with TW has been amazing. Quote
Hooked_On_Bass Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I'm a BIG TW fan. Nothing but good things to say about them. 2 Quote
tracker01 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I'm sorry, but to me "In Stock" means in house ready to sell. Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted April 6, 2014 Super User Posted April 6, 2014 I'm sorry, but to me "In Stock" means in house ready to sell.   It doesn't say in stock. It tells the number available. If they don't have any in stock, under the column "stock" it will have a date and that is the date that they expect to have them. 1 Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted April 6, 2014 Super User Posted April 6, 2014 Never had an issue with TW, even when my wife ordered xmas presents for me knowing nothing about fishing they walked her thru everything. I had orders where one bag of plastics is on backorder, they sent me the order of what they had then sent the single bag of plastics when available all for no shipping cost. Quote
oldschoolbasser Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 It's a 4 hr drive from where I live. I usually spend the day in SLO,them hit TW on the way home. Friendly staff,and I get to see all the tackle 1st hand so I know what I'm getting. Last time there I got a tour of the warehouse, man I want to live there lol! Quote
donk Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Absolutely love TW but I will also say that I also have had the note left at door indicating that signature needed. I honestly believe that total amount purchased must be the deciding factor. If I remember correctly $200 or under I was fine , but $400 a signature was needed. On the $400 order they actually called and said someone was needed to sign and I was jacked. When I questioned the policy, customer service was like well do you wanna cancel the order, and I think I accepted liability. I purposely keep the total around $200 to make sure the stuff is left at my door. As much as I don't care for BPS they have never refused to leave a package at my door regardless of value. I also need to recommend Ron at Valley sports great prices and speedy shipping and left at my door. Quote

We do sporting goods retailing (not fishing thank the Lord) and there is quite a bit of confusion about sales taxes. Retailer's do not "charge" sales tax, they collect it. Purchases made by out of state customer's are subject to taxes, they are just the responsibility of the buyer. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted April 9, 2014 Super User Posted April 9, 2014  As a frequent TW user and abuser, I appreciate the wide variety and large selection. Something that goes unmentioned is how user friendly the web site is. I find it to be one of, if not the best out there. That plays a big role. If the sites bogging down or pages don't load while I'm making an order, I'm gone.  Pictures of items are clear and concise and you just can't beat the Tackle Warehouse Demo Program. Where else can you try out reels on your home water before you buy them - and through the mail no less. Really nice.  A-Jay 1 Quote

Super User Montanaro Posted April 14, 2014 Super User Posted April 14, 2014 Lol at people who want gifts from companies because of a policy or miscommunication. They aren't in the business of giving you free crap but they will make the situation right. Oh and would yall rather them just list stuff as out of stock and not list future stock dates just because the manufacturer couldn't get the product built on time? Quote
