I have ordered from him a lot and he has pretty good turn around as of recently
no issues with my recent orders.
Not that I need much but if he's getting better that's really good to hear.
placed an order on the 23rd of feb and still waiting . still no response to emails either. have a fishing trip planned in april and will be very upset if don't receive my order by then.
I put in an order on 2/13 got it about aweek later...
Did you try calling him ???

Placed an order with him on 19Mar2016 and am still waiting.
No return on either phone calls or e-mail. I'm starting to
get concerned. Only has answering device handling calls.
Order mine on feb 23 made contact about 2 weeks ago and he said the would be done in a day or 2 and still nothing...
Have not had communication back from an order placed mid to late February.
just as I was getting my hopes up from some of the good posts, lol.
I hear ya!! love the prices but not the wait times - but truthfully theres not a lot I NEED.
Actually shocked my wife one time, went in a fly shop and actually walked out with nothing!!! If I keep doing that she'll think I don't need any new toys!!!!!LOL
Don't know why people keep ordering from him! I've ordered from him and got my first order within a week. Next 2 orders were over month before I got them. I would rather pay more and get my stuff before the season is over. Not worth the wait! But I am an impatient man!
Wow this is sad I have posted nothing but good about him I have never had any problems with getting my stuff in about aweek made alot of orders to ..

I have sent several email inquiries over the last couple of years and have NEVER gotten a reply.
Got my order in today. Couple of items missing, but not a big deal.
Placed order on 19Mar2016. I did reach him on the phone on Sunday
@ 17:10. Took me by surprise. Told me he was shipping my order on Monday
(04Apr2016) and I should receive it on Wednesday (06Apr2016). So all in
all 17 days total from date of order to receipt of goods.
Placed an order Sunday and received them today..
My first order for tying supplies was placed with him. Then I read on here how slow he can be so I went ahead and ordered the same stuff again from grizz (can't have too much right?). I had gotten my stuff from grizzly and tied a whole box of jigs, fished for a month, then one day my bobs order came... Took almost 2 months. I haven't been a repeat customer. I'd rather spend more to get my stuff in a reasonable amount of time!
Order shipped today that was placed late February. Absolutely no communication or answering of inquiries. The absolute last time I will place an order. Have ordered almost weekly since then through CA and longest wait was three days.

I have never ordered anything from him even back when I first started, but I am not sure he was there then. I would have thought I would have found him before I built my accounts up so that I almost never order from retailers and it's been that way for a lot of years now. I am posting this because I see these threads from time to time and they never change. It's always the same story so I just can not figure out why guys keep ordering unless his prices are just that low? Guess I need to take a look see at his site to see why this is a repeat showing on this board many times. It's just a shame that all these guys, many new end up having to have this madding supply thing happen. Not what new guys to this hobby need to experience as mostly this is a super hobby with lots of guys willing to help out new tiers!
Gonna look at his prices to see the draw and come back to post.

After looking at some of his web page I have a lot more questions than answers for sure. First one is how can a guy and one guy going to have that much stock and then be slow to get it mailed out for orders? Well I am guessing some of this has to be ordered after it's bought from him. I have a hard time believing some old guy has that much stock! He would have to have a lot of money invested in this for sure if everything he has listed is really in his shop. He also has to have a B&M type shop or he wouldn't be selling WAPSI materials. Then the chenille, that is a lot of types and colors and he's selling packs as well as skeins? Do you know how much it would take to have enough to do that? Someone better have very deep pockets for sure and a large storage area.
Sorry I can't help much with this kind of thing, but I sure have a lot of questions about that operation and yes he has good prices, but maybe a lot of this he actually doesn't keep in stock? I don't know and just can speculate like you!

I ordered from him on the 13th of April and finally it came in the mail on May 12th. I called several times and he lied to me every time I talked to him. IMO if you don't have something in stock don't post it on your website that you have it. I will NEVER order from him again. Barlows tackle all the way. Great customer service and fast delivery
This has me puzzled when I order from him I get great service about a week or less turn around and I have made several orders .. I will be a repeat customer it till something like this happens ..
