I recently ordered some stuff from Bennetts, never got an email confirmation, no answer to the phone. (So far no money taken for the order either)

The owner is listed as Mr Richard Yates address of shop is 9 market place, mountsorrel, leicester.

Anyone know if this is still a going concern?

Bosfish dont seem to stock what I want which is Sonu 11mm S pellets and Sonu 2mm Feeder pellets, I can find these items at other places, but often the postage is ridiculous (£8.00) whereas the above mentioned "Bennetts" of Leics were only £4.00, of course unless they actually deliver etc then it's pie in the sky anyway.

At present BOS is surviving on emails sales- last time I went in the shop it was an emptyshell - they are still recovering from loosing all the stock in the floods of last june - but they were well insured so can afford to rebuild

Cheers LP and Alan, when did you buy from them last Alan? I am a bit mystified as to why I am unable to get any response from them as yet, the website seems profesional enough.

Kim - If you don't get any luck there, try Mullarkey'sin Burton for Sonu pellets. I was in their new place (very impressive!)a few weeks ago and picked up some Sonusoft hook pellets. I seem to remember seeing a pretty wide range of Sonu stuff there.

Good suggestion Jonny, but to visit a tackle shop that stocks what I want would involve a journey of at least 60 miles if not a hundred miles, this is primarily a game and sea fishing area and although there are two very good tackle shops in the area (Pembs) neither of them stock the S-pellets or the feeder pellets I require, hence my use of the internet for such purchases.



Lark, thanks for that, but oddly enough they only have a small selection of Sonu stuff available online, Good greif, how strange, even as I type this an advertising email from Mullarkeys has just dropped into the inbox! Too bizarre!!



Any other suggestion welcome and thanks to all for help offered so far.



UPDATE: I have now managed to get through to the company, they have had a problem with their phone line and expect it to be resolved tommorow, this has prevented them from having net access and all orders should be out by next week. So things are looking up!!
