So I decided to spend more than $50 on a rod and I ordered two Duckett Micro Magic rods from BPS. I wanted them quickly (to take with me to the lake this weekend) so I paid an extra $53 for next day air shipping. Well they didn't arrive on time so I had to leave without them. Yada, yada, yada...they arrived a day late and both were damaged. It seems to be Fedex's fault, but BPS is going to make it right. Anyone else had a rod ordering experience like this?

I usually order my rods from tacklewarehouse and never have a problem.They ship them in really durable tubes and you would really have to want to damage it.

I'll never ship or buy a rod online. Problem avoided +1 +2 I like to pick my rods up and feel them before I drop hard earned cash on them. They could have been broke before they were sent to you.
I am going to buy one just to find out for myself. Half y'all lie like hell and the other half are full of chit.  , A great locally owned business www.bcfw.org Bass Club of Fort Worth

I've bought a few online(5-6) and had them shipped and so far been blessed not to have received a damaged one.

Also, where I live I can't just run to a store and pick up the rod I want.

I've ordered rods from Cabelas and Bass Pro and have never had a problem with punctuality or damage.
I have a Largemouth at home....sometimes she lets me go fishing.

I'll never ship or buy a rod online. Problem avoided Haven't bought a rod in a store...well ever probably. Thirty years old now and haven't had a problem. Take Cody's advice...TW will pack it up tight. Forget about the mammoth retailers and give the smaller internet guys a chance. If that doesn't work then order from BPS and take them back to the store and be nice...they'll switch them out.

I'll never ship or buy a rod online. Problem avoided +1 Not so. Buying a rod from a brick and mortar store is NO guarantee that a rod was not damaged in shipping. Some rods are damaged in shipping such that you cannot tell that they have been damaged. You purchase them and they break in a fairly short order. I LOVE St. Croix rods, but that do not do the job that they should when it comes to properly packing them for shipping to retailers. TFP
Above all else hold these two things in the greatest of circumspection; government and self. YOLO=Schiefspiegler
