Most orders are built as one of a group of similar rods and are shipped on a first in first out basis where practical. Your order will be confirmed either by email or U.S. Mail. This confirmation includes a best effort estimate for the ship data of your order. Upon completion of your rod, you will be notified of its availability and billed for the balance due which will include shipping, insurance costs and all applicable taxes. On receipt of your payment, your rod will be shipped. Unless special arrangement is made before completion of work, balance payments are required within 30 days of date of invoice (notification) or the sale will be voided, and the rod offered to others on the waiting list.

No rod will be shipped until I am satisfied with its quality and functionality.

Orders may be made by phone or e-mail. This permits a complete discussion of your requirements. Payments may be made by check or money order or funds transfer via PayPal as described on the bottom of this page.

Foreign customers should remit payments in U.S. currency and are responsible for all taxes, duties and fees at the destination including shipping and insurance costs. Shipping costs to foreign destinations are determined on consultation with the customer upon completion of the rod. Orders from customers outside the US should be made directly to me and paid via PayPal through the secure link below.

All of the new rods which I build are guaranteed to the original purchaser in the following way:

You must be completely satisfied when you receive your new rod with regard to its action, appearance and craftsmanship or I will, if the rod is returned within three days un-used, make you another within the normal limits of shop schedule or re-fund your money.

I expect you to take reasonable care of your new rod and to use it sensibly. In order to permit you to better enjoy angling with your new tackle I offer the following. If a new rod breaks through normal use or does not function properly and is found to be defective in either materials or workmanship upon my inspection and in recognition that accidents do happen I will, during the first two years of ownership, repair or replace one section free of repair charges upon return of the rod and the injured portion to my shop. Your new rod is made to be fished. Fear of damage through use should not stop you from using your tackle.

Your new rod is registered to you via the serial number. If some catastrophe should befall the rod at some future date, my records will permit me to accurately describe it or effect repairs.
