I'm glad I swerved them (even though they are relatively local to me) after reading stuff like this years ago and went with Kev Clayton

I'd be demanding my money back, some of these rod builders are an utter joke with delays . Thankfully it's only a few of them and there are plenty of good guys still about

I was in your boat a decade ago, so frustrating!
At the time they were also aggressively advertising, it made it worse to constantly see outstanding feedback and a lot of brand loyalty while I felt I was being shafted.

Yeah I wasn’t happy. The guy suggested I rang back the next day to talk to Tom.

Guess what, I rang the next day and no one picked up.

So they’ve gone from done to ready in 3 weeks. I wouldn’t be expecting them to turn up this month either. Shocker that mate

Tried to speak with them many of times, they just dont respond to voice mails.

Did speak to Tom about 3 weeks ago and he said that the rods were done and could be posted within 24hrs and someone would call me the next day to sort things out.

Well guess what they never did. Finally got hold of someone this week and he said the rods wont be ready until the end of march!!!

The quality of the rods isn’t the issue it’s how long it’s taken

Try a charge back on your debit card
Use the consumer rights act part on him first and tell him you want a refund that might make him focus a little first
Then try a charge back
