Tying Materials

FLY TYING MATERIALS & TOOLS - UNDER CONSTRUCTION

THIS WEBSITE ISN'T BRILLIANT BUT I AM WORKING ON IT.

I will hopefully have a fully working e-commerce site within the next couple of months.

My philosophy is that I will either find you the materials cheaper than anywhere else or I will redirect you to another retailer who sells the best materials for the best price (i.e. ones that I buy from)

There are only a few materials on here, so if you have a particular request it is better if you send me an e-mail to flytyingshop@inbox.com

I also occasionally list things on e-bay under the username flytyingshop2009.

This is a list of the materials that I use and heartily recommend.  As I use these materials I can also supply you with them.

If you would like to purchase any of these materials please send me an e-mail to: flytyingshop@inbox.com stating what you would like, your name, address, e-mail and phone numbers.

I will then send you an invoice for the items plus p&p (p&p will be added to post the item(s) by Royal Mail).  All orders over £40 are p&p free.
The invoice can be paid by paypal or cheque (drawn on a UK bank).

Upon receipt of payment I will dispatch the materials to you.

Returns will be accepted provided that the materials are returned in an undamaged and unused condition within 28 days of the posting date.  Refunds will be sent in the same way they were received (i.e. either by paypal or cheque).
