made an order from fishing republic a about 10 days ago. Ordered some small items like feeders etc and a match rod. somehow all the small items arrived in a big brown envelope after around 3 days but no sign of the rod. Hats off to FR, after a few phone calls and a bit of a wait they refunded me the cost of the rod today so no major issue.
I decided to have a look at my Hermes just out of curiosity and pulled up their prohibited items list as well as no protection list. was surprised to see that fishing rods were on the no protection list and sent at own risk. Would this mean if a rod arrived damaged you would be stuck with it?
i've copied the page below and can't really think of anything you could actually send with Hermes as the list is quite extensive, and a lot of things would not be covered.
Any person sending such an item may be subject to their order being cancelled without notice:

Please note we are more than happy to carry these items in the more info section - we just need a clearer description (assumes the clearer description is not an item in the no protection or prohibited list of course).
