At least you got to speak to customer service! They never answered the phone to me
I have the luxury of time on my hands, otherwise I would have given up on this, perk of retirement.
Bargains. Let us know.

Da Daaa!!
Less than 24 hours since dispatching, I had a delivery this morning, not just one bag but two! At a cost of £0-00 I call that a bargain.
Roll on a few hours and it gets curiouser and curiouser I received this email, surely not.........

Well deserved John! I hope you get a third bag John which you just might!!
Mine turned up promptly. But it was a different make to the one in the advert. And a different colour - a shiny bright green
And it's thickly enough padded to be heavy when empty, while having absolutely no structure; it can't stand up, and will barely stay open without collapsing into a pile of slippery nylon.
It won't be going fishing, but the small cat has applied to move in
I can see why they couldn't sell them for more than £3.50

Funnily enough it did arrive while we were both out.

Mine was a bit screwed up when I got it as it was folded down to be as small as possible. When I opened it I shaped it into a bag shape in after w while all the padding inside 'relaxed' and gave some structure. Maybe the same will happen to yours, and the cat will have a nice cosy home. I'll give you £3.50 for the cat

I looked at a reel which they used in their opening gambit and it's out of stock! What a waste of time!

Was it the Shimano Aero by any chance?

The sale started in store at 8am. It's pretty much inevitable that some items will be out of stock by the time the online sale started. However, there was at least one reel pictured in the sale promo that has been on clearance for weeks. On such items you don't normally get a further discount. Last time I looked at the reel I have in mind, they only had one left in stock weeks ago. A few years back the online sale started at the same time as the shop. It caused absolute chaos. So many items showing as in stock when someone was walking about with it in a basket. They also used to honour the 20% on items that weren't in stock. That also caused chaos when people had to wait more than a few milliseconds for their item. We may not like it when we lose out, but Bobco seem to have things sussed. It's a lot better than the farce that Fishing Republic preside over every time they have a sale. We can't have it all ends up.

Kev, the bag delivered to you is not the one you ordered, tell 'em to shove it and you want your money back.

Well, I thought I'd just give it to the cat to sleep in - it's a big fan of bags of all sorts. And I considered that they may have been doing trying to do me a favour by sending me an alternative if there'd been a run on the low-priced originals. But I sent off an email yesterday asking if they'd care to send me the item I ordered. First reply said they'd resolve it asap; then another asked me for the invoice number. I'd binned the packing and paperwork, so I've sent them pics of the bag and a copy of the details of the Ebay transaction. I await developments. If the bag were any way useful, I wouldn't bother at all, but it is a floppy monstrosity.
