dalthegooner 1,242 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Don't worry too much. There are always a few that slip through the quality control net, no matter what it is; and unfortunately, someone has to get them. I'm sure they will replace the faulty one without any hassle and you can be a happy chappie! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure they will replace the faulty one without any hassle and you can be a happy chappie! When I used to work in a tackle shop we had the occasional faulty alarm, and admittedly Fox were the worst for numbers (but also the ones we sold most of) that needed returning for replacement. Fox had or have a pretty good customer sales and service department. If you have bought them from a tackle shop then return them to the tackle shop, it is possible that they will replace the faulty alarm on the spot. If you purchased from another source, then phone Customer Services at Fox and arrange for repair/replacement that way. Please note, I do say if you have bought brand new from a shop then speak to them first, the purchase contract is with the shop, and NOT with Fox tackle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Online shopping is fine, usually, but if there are issues it's difficult to talk to a computer although I'll admit that I sometimes shout at mine! Proper outcome.

ukf 0 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Why do people still bother with roller alarms? I mean, yeah, not everyone can afford delkims, but these new fox alarms are like the same price as a set of second hand txi's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
