This company are nothing but scammers

This company are nothing but scammers. Super sub par products and they won’t let you return because that claim they don’t return clearance items but all their products are clearances. Don’t do it!!!

NO STARS FOR THIS COMPANY

DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS SO CALLED COMPANY.
Less than 1 star.
Ordered 2 torches and some Indestructible gloves as late presents for Christmas. The gloves arrived and were fingerless with plastic knuckles and the 2 torches were the cheapest rubbish. My order cost £79. I found the torches advertised elsewhere for £3. After countless emails asking for my 100% refund as advertised on their site and an address to return the crappy items to, I complained to my bank . Luckily they refunded my money and are investigating this company.

One star is too much for this site

One star is too much for this site. I have been waiting for my delivery since December! They responded at first, but now, no replies from them at all. Asked them to cancel my order since I did not receive the package and refund my money. Now they do nit reply at all.

As bad as everyone says

After I read the trustpilot reviews I tried to cancel purchase but was too late. Communication online was prompt as was delivery so I got my hopes up. Opened the bag to find two little grubby cardboard boxes direct from China which contained two brandless pairs of what looked like kids play sunglasses, not the high quality photochromic polarized fishing glasses they were supposed to be. Also no way I could wear them over my ordinary glasses as their promo promised. I will give the glasses to my grand kids. SCAM!!!

One star is over stating it

One star is over stating it, they advertised high quality metal torches in hard cases. What I received was cheap looking, feeling and performing pieces of plastic junk in a cardboard box. Steer clear of these rip off merchants.

The Tackle King sucks

Like others have said, if I could give less than 1 star I would. I bought a flashlight and received it with no battery compartment to power it, I.E., no way to make it work. They said they would send me a new one after multiple email requests for service. Never received anything. I’m out $69.00. This company is crap. Do not do business with them. You will be 100% disappointed.

I bort two pairs of sunglasses

I bort two pairs of sunglasses, both broke in a couple of weeks 🙃 when I bort them. They say three years warranty. I try to email them. They answer my first email, and said they send me one pair. I waited months 😪 I went to the post office took the tracking number 😑 it was fake. I keep emailing them, but won't answer. I sent pictures of my broken sunglasses. They rip me off. Keep away from them. Someone should tell current affairs. Let the world 🌎 know. There probably $2.00 sunny. Stephanie Schurmann
