Vados bait 50000 customer
« on: Jan 31, 2017, 07:49 PM »
I got a call today after placing my bait order to inform me that I was the 50000th customer for vados bait. I thought it was a joke and figured it was just someone trying to steal my identity but the woman said my order was going to be free and I would also be receiving a gift. I thought this was very odd in this day and age that a company would take the time to show appreciation for it's customers like this. Vados bait is definitely a company I would of recommended before but now I have an even greater appreciation for them.
If our father had had his say, nobody who did not know how to catch a fish would be allowed to disgrace a fish by catching him.

Sure makes me feel better about the time they charged me $32 for shipping a pound of leeches to Iowa. After they told me shipping was $19. Go Vados!
Every plastics manufacturer claims plastics outfish livebait. So now I use livebait just for the increased challenge.

DANG! I must have been 49950! I can't say enough good things about Vados. Definitely a quality live bait distributor and tackle store. I live close to them so any time I need Euro Larva I buy them buy the thousands. They are the supplier for most of the bait shops in MN.

500 Euros for $7. Can't beat that. The other day I had a long chat with one of the workers and he told me how they get the Euros. It was kinda gross but it intrigued me. Apparently they are 'farmed' by rotting a bunch of turkey and then picked/taken off the rotting turkey/turkeys by the millions. I am not jealous of those people's jobs ha.

With that being said. I still use the little buggers. But my wife doesn't need to know where all the bait in the fridge (next to our food) came from :)

Vados has been good to me.

Two years ago they sent half of my order.

Last year they charged my card for multiple people's orders.

This year the guy said "we will get the order right out" on a monday. It was shipped the FOLLOWING tuesday. Unseasonably warm weather as well.

Next year its back to jada. 3 strikes, they are out.

May I impose on your good nature, Kevin,  by asking how the "half order" issue was resolved?

'        Ditto                                                                  ' how the credit card issue was resolved?

And last, if I may ask, the warm weather delay of more than a week?

Thanks.     ;)2

By fixing the issue. Having an issue every year that needs fixed is getting old.
