Staminia

I've placed my last order with this company. On June 28th I ordered spinnerbait blades (200) and buzzbait blades (100). Friday I called and inquired about the order. Their quote "Your order has shipped UPS and should be there Monday". Well it's still not here. If these had been ordered from Netcraft I would have received them over a week ago. I guess Stamina is sending it by turtle or something. I'm not a big time customer but they've lost my business!

OK I'm through ranting now.

I received one of their catalogs quite a number of years ago and couldnt believe how high their prices were. Needless to say i wrote them off pretty quick. Last year when i found the now defunct tacklemaking.com site i couldnt believe people in the tackle making circles were actually ordering from them. I would have thought due to their high prices they would have long been out of business.

I regulary use Stamina,but for certain products.Unfortunatley,no one company has everything in one catalog.
Stamina has always done good by me,I'm guessing the delay on the order was due to items being out of stock.If you ask if the items orderd are in stock,(assuming you order by phone)they will check for you..Nathan

Stamina has been good to me over the years for the few things that I do order from them and the only complaint I have ever had is that when I order 100 of something I seem to can only count on getting 70 or so of it to me. The reason they have been around so long is their website is very user friendly and like Nathan said you can't seem to get it all from one place. JIM

I ordered some buzzbait heads from them and they took two months to deliver. I sent frequent emails to check the status and never could get a reply and always ended up having to call only to be placed on hold for ever "while checking the status"

. Needless to say I have never ordered from them again! Very poor customer service IMO!!

I would love nothing more than to never deal with Stamina again. However, they are the only place where I can find some good spinnerbait heads. Hopefully, I can find some other company in the near future that carries heads as detailed as the king spinnerbait heads Stamina offers. Until then, I guess I had better get used to the 1-2 month delivery time.

I have only needed to purchase from Stamina a few times. They have a couple of items I cannot find elsewhere. I guess I was lucky. My items came in a timely manner, and Im over on the left coast.

You have much better luck when you call in the order.
Finding out what is not in stock at that time.
All orders I have done on the website all ways seamed to take for ever and where always short of some thing.

It is a nice website, and catalog they put out.

They have been unbelveably helpful over the phone to me in the past.

HI all...I have had both good and bad service from Stamina...I have gotten the impression that there is probably one or two "jerks" there that just don't care...and either the owner/manager doesn't know it or isn't willing to get rid of them...unfortunately for him, he loses customers...
