Isn't it amazing how the American consumer is so infatuated with immediate gratification of the likes of Amazon. They have spoiled us. My wife would probably divorce me if she really knew the worth of stuff I've bought from Tackle Warehouse. They always come thru. Once I had to wait 4 months on some swim baits. It wasn't their fault, the supply chain had failed to meet commitments. If they have it in stock you will get it pretty quick. They make money on selling product, and they do the best job that their is in the tackle industry. The whole shipping industry can't keep up with the times. Amazon started their own delivery service and they still can't keep up. Mistakes happen in the shipping industry, it's just a fact of the world we live in. Lowrance has struggled with their first introduction of their forward scanning sonar, in fact it failed miserably, so you can bet they are trying to make sure this one doesn't fail again.

I think California is shut down now because of covand also I think TW is way under staffed

I would get immediate gratification if I could walk into a store and find what I wanted. I want to buy something that is not in any stores. Not even in the 4th biggest city in America. I am at the mercy of an online dealer to send it to me.

I placed an order on 12/30 about 10:00 PM our time.

It shipped on 1/3/21 and arrived here today 1/7/2021 via UPS free shipping.

They are a good company in a horrible place to do business. But in the end that is not my problem. I do my best in this day and age to stay stocked up on stuff, but every now and then something gets overlooked. Twice now I have paid for overnight shipping from them and it has taken well over a week to get the shipment. If they know they can't accomplish the expedited shipping then they should not offer it. I get how hard it is to do business in our current environment, but just don't offer things you can't deliver. As far as inventory, easy to use website they are second to none. I continue to look for a more local company but have not found a good alternative to TW yet.

Best way to get in touch with their customer service is email. You will usually have a response in 30 minutes or less.

They are setting up a TW shipping facility soon in GA I believe.

I placed on order on 1/2/2021 and I don't have an shipping notification yet. They have always been good to me in the past.

Update: got a notification that my package is at UPS.

I ordered 4 rods over the holidays.

2 on one order and 2 on another.

One of the orders shipped from Atlanta, GA, United States and the other one shipped from Sylmar, CA, United States.

Maybe they are planning on moving the whole company from California to a more business friendly state?

They are in a warehouse "district" in their current location in CA. They have a small storefront but will bring out any item you want to see/buy from warehouse. They own a few similar industry specific online retail business such at Golf Warehouse, Shooting Warehouse etc. They all operate on same model basically but are soecific to an industry or activity.

Been by their place a few times. Always costs a hit to my wallet.

I am sure it does!

I just placed my latest order on Sunday the 3rd, was at my house yesterday the 7th. Haven't had any issues on orders with Tackle Warehouse.

When I first started ordering from them I made the mistake of ordering things that was not in stock.

They would hold the order until the OOS stuff was back in stock.

I don't place any orders with anything that is OOS now unless it is a separate order.

I think it depends on the size of the order and what is on the order....

Place an order earlier this week, just received my shipping confirmation, awaiting tracking to update delivery date.

What do you mean? I'm not being confrontational, I just don't understand what you mean by size of the order.

I ordered ~$50 of stuff Monday afternoon. All items were and are in stock. They haven't shipped it yet, I'm still waiting. Do you mean people that spend more money are prioritized ahead of people who spend less money?

COVID-19 and how the state of California is managing the pandemic is going to kill businesses. TW may be one of them. I would love to see them move operations to Texas. I'm not saying Texas has the solution to COVID, but we're certainly more friendly and TW would be welcomed in Texas with open arms.

I have never ordered less than $50 from them or maybe anyone before.
