What store,and I'll till you this most combo's are junk,the rods are ok,but the reels are junk.
thats why i never buy equipment i havent had in my hands
Don't want to be the bad apple hear, however I am a business owner (not fishing equipment) and a restock fee is actually a charge that I HAVE TO pass on to the customer. Ten dollars seems like a high price to you. The standard charge that I get from the distributors is 25%. Doing business is tough these days, having someone receive and open mail is not a hard task but when looked at with an hourly rate, it makes sense to charge for there work. It is a crap shoot no matter which way you look at it, but its part of business now. The other thing depends on the order circumstances, did you order it from a store that does not stock these items on hand? Do they place the order when you do? All things to consider. Also, I would not order things like rod combos online, I try to support local business all that I can, sometimes you pay a little more, but the money stays in the area. Try not to rip me a new one for this!
That would be good to have that option. Unfortunately the selection where I am isn't that great.
