Anyone ever order from

They advertise good prices but I'm a little worried they're too good....I couldn't find much info on the company....

generic, amateurish site -- bad organization/descriptions
prices all over the place -- some too-good / some way too high
if they are really a US-based shipping hub...  new(er) & disorganized,
could be some mispriced bargains...  could be some hassles  ???

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking but I might try an order a cheaper item to see what happens and how things go down. I'll pay with my visa and use the pay protection policy if things go wrong.....

I've done pretty good w/ mispriced stuff from disorganized clearance houses
sometimes you get what you hoped for, dirt-cheap
sometimes they catch on & refund...  never been screwed

"Located in CA" with NC contact info tells me to move on to some other company.

The first thing I look for when I come across a company new to me is an "About" tab. If they aren't confident enough of themselves to provide a little history or personal info I'm gone. Way too many good companies out there to choose from.

I just emailed them asking for a price quote on a few reels and some details on shipping so we'll see if and when they get back to me....

Just a little update......

I placed an order on March 17th and it shipped today!

Now let's see what shows up compared to what I think I ordered......

If I receive what I think I ordered I'll be ordering a few other items

Ummm... $27.30 for a Hula Popper lure???  All the lures I looked at were just as ridiculously priced.

Update.... My order arrived today and it was exactly what I ordered and expected. It arrived well packed and in sealed factory box with the accessories. The price was 30% of average retail price with free shipping....

I'll definitely be ordering from them again
