As some may know, I started a thread last week complaining about Dick's shipping methods/busted rod. Well, I had a great experience with a different retailer. So I figured it was just fair that I give praise when it is due.

 

I ordered a Lew's cranking stick and a handful of chatterbaits from Sportsman's Outfitters. The rod came in a hard tube. The rod was wrapped nicely in plastic and the tip in bubble wrap. Similar to TW. The lures were even given caution to. All the lures were rubber banded together nicely (which I don't expect).

 

You can tell they actually take pride in their shipping methods. I will definitely be doing more business with them, that's for sure. 

I ordered a champion from them once, came nicely packaged. I was disappointed in the rod though. 

I’ve had nothing but good experiences from Sportsman’s Outfitters, plus you can’t beat there sale prices.

Nothing but good experiences for me too from Sportsman's outfitters.

They are GTG no doubt about it. 

My Lew’s Mach 2 Speed Stick Ned Rig rod from SO came intact. It was shipped infinitely better than Dick’s

I have ordered several rods from SO and was very satisfied with their shipping and their prices.

2 rods, 2 reels, a came packaged perfectly 

Good company and prices 

Bought a Lews Tournament Pro from them. Excellent packaging price and shipping time. Will Definately by more from them.i do wish their website was set up better. 

I ordered a rod and reel from them on Friday and haven't gotten any shipping info. I got the confirmation email but that was it - is this par for the course, or should I send an email? 

 

With those great prices (and good service from what you all have said) I don't mind slow shipping, but I want to make sure they have my items so my order can be processed.

You could call them. Or email. Did you pay for faster shiping? 

I had the free shipping - but I didn't really pay attention to when it should be delivered. I will send them an email tomorrow if I haven't heard anything - I just figure they are a small operation and I didn't want to bother them with an email if it was common that you just got a package on your doorstep. 

 

EDIT: And just like that - I got an email that it is on the way! I just needed to be a little more patient!

Not sure what the norm is (only ordered from them this one time). But I placed my order at 11pm Aug 14. My package arrived Aug 17 at noon. I was quite pleased.
