Orvis' history dates back to 1856, when Charles Orvis opened his first tackle shop in Manchester, Vermont; it holds the title of the oldest mail-order business in the US. The company initially began by selling fishing tackle and fly-fishing lures. Today, it is the premier retailer of high-end hunting, fishing and sporting goods in America.
The company has 51 stores across the US, but UK and international customers also have access to Orvis' huge range of sporting products through its website. Shipping is from the US, but international purchases are not expensive, with orders up to £64 (US$99) only costing around £19. Orvis discount vouchers are also available to save extra on product purchases.
The retailer is known for its customer service and shoppers can get real-time help by using the website's ‘Live Chat' feature for any questions. Emailed questions are also answered within two hours or less, and a call centre is available for those who prefer to use the telephone.
The company strives for 100 per cent satisfaction and is known for its good returns policy. Orvis will refund the full amount if customers are not completely satisfied with their purchases, regardless of reason. This has been a tradition at Orvis for the past 150 years, leading to thousands of satisfied customers. An Orvis discount voucher also helps keep shoppers happy.
Online guests can browse the many products on offer by department – men's/ women's clothing, fly fishing, hunting or homes. Orvis also offers ‘Sporting Adventures', such as hunting and sporting vacations to locations throughout the world. Find your dream vacation on Orvis and save using discount codes!
