hunter88 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Have you tried contacting Shelts through Aliexpress, if not that's where they are selling now. When their web site just quit working I was wondering what was going on, but then a few weeks later I found them selling through Aliexpress. I've placed 2 orders with them there and had no problems. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1917430?spm=2114.10010108.0.0.44583ea3B0C5hW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdunn Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 I will try that next time if I ever receive the orders I have paid for. I recieved a partial order of hooks ordered on 4/20 and still haven't received the balance. The order of 100 blanks was paid for on 4/24. I had no problems before.

hunter88 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 My last orders were placed the end of March, but I didn't buy direct from Shelts I ordered through Aliexpress. The advantage of going through Aliexpress is they will intervene if there is a problem. You can file a dispute. I ordered some lures from a different company and wasn't getting them. At 60 days I filed a dispute. The company came back with the excuse I had to remember the lures had to come from a long way and it was free shipping. I told them don't give me that excuse I buy from other companies from China and all orders come within 30 days. Plus I paid extra for E Packet shipping since it usually makes it in two weeks. Five days later Aliexpress stepped in and said I wasn't getting any satisfaction so they would return my money. It was back in my account within 24 hours of their e mail. I believe Aliexpress holds the money until you confirm you have received the goods and are satisified, then they release the funds to the company you ordered from. One thing on Shelts after the move to Aliexpress. Delivery seems to have slowed, and the free eyes are gone. Usually it was 2 weeks for delivery, my last orders were closer to 30 days. Also on my last order I ordered surface lures that had a propeller, but the propeller was missing. I left a message through Aliexpress. I didn't get a response right away and left a second message telling them I didn't want to open a dispute since I'd bought many lures from Shelts with no problem. Still no response to I tried one more time, this was over the course of a week. Third time I got a response, they figured out what I needed and said they'd send them out immediately. I had the missing propellers 5 days later. Hope you get your problem taken care of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdunn Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Thanks I will give it a try. There is nothing to lose since it appears that Shelts had no intention of taking care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
