Borderline Scammers

I ordered an item with EXPRESS delivery: GBP 244.96 It STILL turned up LATE despite paying the extra delivery charge. Delivery date was crucial so I had to buy the item from another supplier and return the WaveInn item when it (eventually!) arrived. After complaining about the late delivery they reimbursed delivery costs: GBP 52.49. and I returned the item. However, they then DEDUCTED the delivery refund from the item refund so I contacted then through their CHAT. They denied any wrongdoing, saying they had refunded me fully and closed the chat. Seriously?! Under EU law, customers are entitled to a full refund INCLUDING delivery costs, especially as the EXPRESS delivery failed completely. In my opinion, WaveInn are nothing more than borderline scammers - just check out the reviews from their parent company - TradeInn - (average 2.4* and rated POOR by customers) for a full picture of what they're like.

My experience was very good

My experience was very good, cheaper prices than offered in the Netherlands, same goes for delivery costs.
Products I received are 100% genuine, well packed so no issues at all. Sure, deliverytime takes a couple of days, but not much slower than 'local' suppliers in the Netherlands.
I will buy here again, for sure.

However, there are external factors that can affect the delivery of an order, which is why our dates are estimated and not exact.

They have lots of stuff I was looking for in the boating area to reasonable prices. Delivery worked fine even to Greece, which is not so easy sometimes.

Delivery Times are a Total Myth

I only bought from WAVEINN (not the cheapest supplier of this item) because of their apparent quick delivery time. I even paid for EXPRESS delivery to get it early. The item did not arrive even on the LATEST date on the delivery window, so I had the buy from another supplier. WAVEINN refused to reimburse my delivery costs either for the EXPRESS service (which they did not deliver) OR for me return the item. Overall they made me pay nearly £50 delivery fees for an item that they did not deliver on time, I could not use.. and had to return.
When I contacted them they said delivery times EVEN EXPRESS times are merely 'ESTIMATES' 😡

Dear Ross,

We are very sorry to hear that you rated our service as not meeting your expectations.

We offer a wide variety of products, many of which are in stock at our logistics centre for immediate dispatch and others are listed with a longer delivery date, meaning they come from other warehouses.

When you select one of these products you are given an estimated delivery date based on the transit time of the product to our logistics centre (from where all orders are sent) and the shipping time according to the transport company you have chosen.

We do our best to constantly improve our service, but occasionally, due to stock shortages, duplicate orders and working in real time with stock, some products are shown in stock but may be temporarily out of stock or delivery may be delayed.

In this case and unfortunately, we can only pass on to our customers the delivery times indicated by our suppliers.

Remember that you can modify or add items to your order from your account or cancel the order at any time if you prefer not to wait any longer for a product.

On the contrary, you will receive an email as soon as the order is shipped with the carrier's tracking number and the invoice.

We have taken your comments into account and have forwarded them to the relevant department in order to continuously improve and take measures to improve the quality of our services as well.

Please excuse any inconvenience caused.

Best regards

ordered one item which was 'available'…

ordered one item which was 'available' on the website and after paid and waited for a week to understand why it was not ship it, I checked on my account and it says the item is not yet available. So I wrote everyday a request of info about when they expect the item to be available. so I receive every day the same automatic message saying the item will be available today and of course, this 'today' is already passed several times. So bottom line, if you're looking for an item for your boat and you have weeks/month to wait, then this is fine, otherwise this is not a 'client-oriented' website to order items for my boat. prices are slightly lower however client service is poor and, even more important, information about 'availability' of the items is not correct.

This company is a complete joke

This company is a complete joke, I ordered my item weeks ago and it still has not arrived , poor excuses , this is £170 item so not cheap, I will now pursue the matter through through my solicitor, very poor company, The response from this company stating item will arrive by 18/07/2025 is a complete lie, They promised it by the 5th June!!

Dear customer,

We are very sorry that you rated our service as not meeting your expectations.

We are doing our best to continually improve our service. However, delivery bottlenecks may occasionally occur due to duplicate orders and real-time inventory management, or because our inventory levels are based on those of our suppliers.

In this case, unfortunately, we can only provide our customers with the delivery times provided by our suppliers: 18/07/2025

Remember that you can change your order, add items, or cancel your order at any time from your account if you no longer wish to wait for a product.

Otherwise, you will receive an email with the carrier's tracking number and invoice as soon as your order leaves our premises.

We have taken your comments into account and forwarded them to the relevant department to continuously improve and initiate measures to improve the quality of our services.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Absolutely disappointed in the company

Absolutely disappointed in the company! I ordered waders for my father as a gift, as he was visiting me in Canada. The estimated delivery said May 27th. My order wasn’t shipped until June 10th, today is June 11th and I still haven’t received it. So on top of the shipping fee of $222.99 I have to pay for shipping to where my father is residing. The customer service representative Janet V is rude and refused to redirect me to a manager to speak about the issue, claiming that the manager is unavailable and she doesn’t know when they will be. I understand that the estimated delivery is estimated! However, delaying it by over 2 weeks and not notifying me via email is unacceptable in my opinion!

Shimano Sienna 4000re Great value for money

Great value for money, smooth running level line loading easy to use. A perfect reel for a beginner or someone on a budget. I bought it as a backup but I will be using it on a regular basis, it was much better than I expected. Happy
