This is a shout out and massive kudos to Johnson Ross Tackle shop in Herts. in the UK.
(www.johnsonross.co.uk)
I ordered three new rods and reels from this dealer on the weekend.
They shipped them on Monday morning via Fedex and they arrived at my house in PA on Tuesday morning.
I still don't know how that was possible.
The order was very well packaged and everthing arrived in excellent condition.
Anthony Johnson at the shop was extremely helpful while taking the order over the phone as were his staff members to whom I spoke about a couple of other items I'm looking into.
Great service.
I would recommend this organisation if you're contemplating shipping any gear from the UK.
