      Which courier service do we use?

      We use DX and Royal Mail for our parcels, the courier used depends on the size of the parcel and the warehouse it has been shipped from. Your dispatch email will let you know which courier will be delivering your parcel and send a link to their website so you can track it.

      How To Track My Parcel

      All of our parcels are shipped with either DX or Royal Mail, you should receive a link in your email along with your tracking number.

      If your parcel is shipped via DX, you can track your parcel here.

      If your parcel is shipped via Royal Mail, you can track your parcel here.

      My Tracking Number Doesn't Work

      Your tracking number should go live when it gets its first scan by the courier, this will usually be within 1 working day of receiving your dispatch email.

      There also might be multiple tracking numbers for the same shipment, on occasions where there is more than one parcel shipped at the same time, a ^ will separate the tracking numbers. You will need to put each tracking number into the courier's tracking website separately.

      If you still find that you are having issues, please reach out to us using the contact form below.

      What happens if I'm not in when the courier attempts to deliver my parcel?

      When a parcel cannot be delivered you will be notified by our courier with a range of re-delivery options.

      • If your parcel is being delivered by Royal Mail they will automatically attempt delivery on the next working day.
      • If your parcel is being delivered by DX, you must organise redelivery through the courier's website using the tracking details provided in your dispatch email.

      If the delivery is unsuccessful after 3 attempts, it will be returned to Angling Direct and treated as a failed delivery. If this happens, you can either request for it to be reshipped or request a refund through your original payment method. Should we not hear from you, an automatic refund will be processed and a confirmation will be sent to you.

      Can My Parcel Be Left Safe?

      We do not offer a leave safe option on our parcels. If you do liaise with the courier for your parcel to be left in a safe place, this is done so at your own risk. Angling Direct cannot be held responsible for any 'leave safe' parcels which are not received.

      What to do if there is a problem with a delivery

      Angling Direct relies upon the services of third party couriers, and whilst we endeavour to ‘keep to our word’ there can be occasions when the couriers let us down and do not deliver within the specified delivery time.

      If the parcel does not arrive when you expect it or there is a problem with your delivery then please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team using the contact form below. We will then work with the courier to ensure a delivery day is provided.

    • Payments
      Which Payment Options Are Available?

      For all orders, we accept the majority of credit & debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard & Maestro UK. We do not accept American Express.

      Other available payment methods:

      I've Been Charged Twice

      If your bank is showing that two payments have come out of your account, it might be that the first payment was unsuccessful and it will bounce back into your account, usually within a couple of days.

      Should this not be the case, please contact us using the form below so we can look into this.

      A payment has come out of my bank but I haven’t received an order confirmation

      You should receive an order confirmation as soon as the order has been placed, if you haven't it could be because your email address was entered incorrectly.

      Please contact us using the form below with your order details and the address(es) on the order so we can locate it for you. We can then provide you with your order number where you can keep up to date with your order here.

      Angling Direct Gift Cards

      You can purchase Angling Direct gift cards in various denominations (minimum £10, maximum £1000), either in-store or online. Each gift card comes with a presentation card and envelope.

      The recipient can use the gift card to make purchases online or in-store, up to the amount specified on the card.

      You can also use it to make purchases via telephone, either as a partial or full payment for goods. If you don’t spend the total value of the gift card(s) in one transaction, the remaining balance will stay on the gift card for you to use at a later date.

      Please note the following:

      • Gift cards cannot be used for finance orders (Novuna) 
      • Gift cards remain valid for 24 months from the date of purchase.
      • Gift cards cannot be exchanged for cash.
      • Gift cards are non-refundable.
      How do I use a gift card?

      Gift cards can be used either online or in-store. To use your gift card online, it must be entered at the checkout stage under 'payment information'.

      If you try to enter the 16-digit number into 'discount code', it will not recognise it.

      You can check your gift card's balance using our Gift Card Checker.

      Using An Angling Direct Gift Card Online

      Shop as usual on the website and then proceed to checkout. During checkout, you’ll be asked to enter a 16-digit code, which can be found on the back of each gift card you wish to use  (for multiple gift cards, enter one set of codes at a time).

      After entering the gift card code, your order balance will be automatically updated with credit to the value of the gift card(s). You can then use a debit or credit card to complete your purchase if there's any remaining balance to pay.

      If you don’t spend the total value of the gift card(s), the remaining balance will stay on the gift card for you to use at a later date.

      If you need to return item(s) purchased online where gift card(s) were used as payment, either in part or in full, we will apply the credit to either your existing gift card or issue a new gift card which can be used for future purchases.*

      If you find that your gift card is not accepted at checkout, check the card number, and try again. If you continue to experience difficulties, please use our gift card checker to check the status and value of your gift card.

      *Please note that if gift card(s) are used as a partial payment on an order you return, the payment will be refunded pro rata.

      • This must be an online competitor with the item and price readily available for us to see
      • The website must be based in the UK.

      Missing items

      If your entire order has been shipped:

      Check packaging - In the case where orders contain multiple items, when everything is marked as shipped, and all parcels have been received. We encourage customers to inspect the packaging thoroughly, as smaller items are often tucked inside, among the larger items and re-sealed. This can include any manufactured packaging you may receive. This method is employed to minimise additional packaging and ensure that customers receive their entire order in as few parcels/deliveries as possible.

      If part of your order is yet to be shipped:

      To have the widest range of products available on our website we show stock that is available in all of our warehouses. Where possible we will send your order at the same time from the same warehouse, however, there will be occasions when some item(s) from your order are dispatched separately.

      If part of your order is sent separately, you may receive multiple emails with the tracking information once these have shipped.

      Packaging

      If a product is sent to us in its original manufactured box and the item is safe and secure, we will likely dispatch it in the manufacturer's packaging. This practice aims to reduce unnecessary packaging and to improve our environmental footprint.

If you choose to e-sign your agreement, a PDF of your agreement will be displayed on screen. You should read the agreement carefully before clicking all the relevant sections agreeing to its terms.

      Will you credit score me and if so, what does this mean?

      Credit scoring is the process used by financial services companies to evaluate the credit risk of new applicants. This technique will be applied to your application for online finance. Credit scoring works by awarding points for each answer given on the application form such as age, income and occupation, together with information obtained from credit reference agencies. This information allows us to produce consistent decisions, ensuring all our applicants are treated fairly. Credit scoring does not discriminate on the grounds of sex, race, religion or disability.

      If you decline my application, what is the reason?

      In addition to credit scoring, Novuna also takes into account confirmation of your identity, validation of certain application details, existing commitments and information held at the credit reference agencies. Though Novuna is unable to provide you with a main reason for the decline of your application, it is usually based on one, or a combination of the following:

      1. Your credit score (please note that every finance company will score you differently)
      2. Adverse credit reference agency information
      3. You are considered to be overcommitted
      4. You are aged under 18
      5. Your existing account performance with other lenders
      What type of information do credit reference agencies hold about me?

      Some of the information is public information, for example electoral roll, County Court Judgements and bankruptcies. Other lenders may also file information about accounts you hold with them for instance this could include your payment history and outstanding balance on these accounts. Any requests for credit, where a credit reference search has been undertaken, will also be filed, although the result of the request is not recorded.

      6. Refunds and returns

      6.1.3. does not meet any relevant guarantee we have made; or

      7.2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents, or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as described and match the information we provided to you and any sample seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; and supplied with reasonable skill and care, and any rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

      8.5. Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

      8.6. Use of your personal data.  We will only use your personal data in the ways set out in our Privacy Policy, which can be found here.

      8.7. Applicable laws. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English and Welsh courts.
