Title: Scott's is the best!!!
Post by: bob v on February 11, 2015, 10:19:44 PM
Don't know if this is in the right place or not but, yesterday I ordered some parts from Scott's (some not easy to come by) at about 2:30 p.m. I had a confirmation that they were indeed shipped at 3:30p.m. and they arrived at my door at 3:00 today. This was just standard postage, nothing special. This is the kind of service you don't see anymore and kudos to them for a terrific job. They have a customer for life. Just wanted to give them a shout out for their fine fast service.....bob v

I second that.  I order alot of parts from them frequently, and they always arrive within 3 buisness days in Hawaii.  I have yet to have an incorrect/incomplete order.  Also, they do a good job of updating their parts info based on availability, compatability, customer feedback, etc.  

On the other hand ordering directly from Penn has often times resulted in errors, and unless you talk to the right guy (my contact is Tony Dubec), or do your research ahead of time, parts compatability/availability issues can arrise.  Shipment has been prompt, and parts always arrive in HI within 5 buisnes days.

I also run into incorrect orders (wrong and/or missing parts), and parts availability isdues when ordering from Shimano.  Shipments also take longer.  However, they always are good at correcting any mistakes w/o issue.

Just to bump this a little bit.
I placed two orders this month from Scott's, over $200 each. After I placed the second one. I noticed some 99 springs were missing from the first order. I emailed them. Moe promptly got back to me and said she would send them and asked if I needed anything else.
I said I needed two 9/0 jack springs that I had forgotten on the first order. She threw them in for free!
Top notch Service from a top notch company! Thank You Maureen! You Rock! ;D

Careful what you say, Moe is watching.... ;D

It takes 4 days to get here but I'm in the sticks.  Scott's is #1, thank you for providing us with the things we need, want and must have.

They are indeed a reminder of the good old days, when first-rate customer service was the rule rather than the (rare) exception. Bravo to Scott's!  (http://www.city-data.com/forum/pictures/t/61/59b86743ff6b62a108cb0d41fdbaff03_61295.gif)

They are the best and the only place to shop for parts and lubes.

I agree. Scott's is a first class outfit and I have always had excellent service from them every time.

Will chip in here as well, absolutely first class service. Even though our dollar has slipped against the $US in recent months, I would still order Penn parts from Scott's every time.

Australian tackle distributors should really lift their game. They are appalling when compared to Scott's.

Another case in point:  Last weekend I ordered some parts from Scott's.  USPS routed the package improperly; three days ago it disappeared into an NYC Post Office and has not been heard from since.  This morning I emailed Scott's asking if maybe a replacement shipment was in order.  Twenty minutes later, the shipping label had been created.  Unbeatable service.

love Scott's. Penn used to be great, and had a gentleman there (phil, maybe?) that knew everything there was to know about model chronolgy, parts, etc. he'd been there about forty years but retired a few years back. IMHO, the whole thing went to hell when Penn went to Henry's then to Pure Fishing.....parts seemed double in price wth high shipping overnight, with reduced availability and support (how can you not support the millions of SS Spinfishers out there?)  and the Chinese crap looks like planned obselsclence. I guess some whiz kid Bob (watch office space, equals "efficiency consultant" decided  they could make more money getting us to buy throwaways that servicing real reels....most of us Senators, etc. over fifty years old still in use on a design from 1935....

sorry about the soapbox.....this is a real p$$r for me...not to mention the Penn factory workers in PA

I know someone that said the same thing, and actually like the new direction of Penn.

   Been dealing with Scott's for quite awhile now. I have nothing but GREAT things to say about them from top to bottom. Always an enjoyment even on the rare occasion that something was wrong. Hard to find this kind of people anymore. Had the pleasure of meeting Scott's dad (Ryan, I think) last year. Just confirmed more what I already knew about this family. Will always consider them as friends instead of people just wanting my business.

Just received a big box of 975 Inter'ls- both star and LD from some Lower Columbia guide (read saltwater) buddies. Hey, Springers are here and moving up river, time to get those reels up to snuff  that have been sitting in the boat all winter  ???. Thank goodness for Mo and the gang and Scotts, their service and shipping can't be beat !

Don't you love things like this, and it's worse when they "need them back right away".

I had to laugh when I saw the location of Scott's. I live about 30miles north of them in NJ. What makes it worse, when I was working in civil engineering Little egg was one of our clients and as many times as I was there I really never took notice to there business. Go figure.

I have been buying from them for years. I now get Cal's, TSI,  and many other things from them. Some people ask me if I have been there b/c I wear their T-Shirts all the time and I live in Florida.

It's also great when you have a question they don't hesitate to help you..!!

I've also placed multiple orders from Scott's, and have corresponded with Mo via email. She was quite helpful and even sent me a photo I requested when I was having trouble figuring out how a trip lever and cam lever where supposed to line up with one another. First class organization all the way.
