We're sorry to hear you found the experience stressful. Our team work really hard to make everything work. We can't see any issues with the booking. Everything is confirmed on the booking and the vehicle registration has been changed successfully on the Port Pass.

“The online booking system gives let’s you go all the way through from booking to taking payment before telling you your choice is not available. Not impressed at all.”

We're sorry to hear that your booking was unavailable. Unfortunately one of the ships on the route you booked is currently in dry dock for maintenance, which has affected the sailing schedule. Our website did not reflect this. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with your booking. It appears you did not send us the dangerous goods note for your hazardous goods and therefore we could not check whether your goods would be accepted or not. Your load was then refused by Eurotunnel Freight. As per your request, we transferred your booking to DFDS, who approved your load. This was the cause of the delay. We must receive your dangerous goods note at the time of booking.

We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the service you received. Although the ship was delayed, one of our team did notify you to still honour the original check-in time (26/11, 2045). Unfortunately, your travel was refused by the operator however because you had three cats, which had not been declared.

“I do apologize you do not want feedback for this Job ! Everything went wrong from the beginning on. Patrick refused my business he could not find an account. David was not able to send a form to receive payment. Your accounts department was closed or on lunch in the afternoon. I have been waiting for hours to receive a callback. None received! this morning i called in again, spoke to Alexandra, she said please create a booking through cx witch I did. finally, she swapped the completed booking around - and i got booked.... now in sterling not in euros - but that's no problem. The best one is that i been asked to send you a rating in the name of Mr Kohler.... Whow !!! I don't know him.... Very iffy and very strange way to book a ferry.... Regards Joshua Xpress24Ltd (MD)”

We are sorry to hear you had an issue with your booking. Unfortunately due to high demand, the ferry operator did not have space onboard the vessel and you were placed on a waiting list. We emailed you on Sunday morning and attempted to call to make alternative arrangements. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

We are sorry to hear that you forgot to cancel your ferry ticket within the required cancellation period. Unfortunately, the 'no-show' charge is set by the ferry operator. We have no control over this.

I then tell the person I want to cancel and get told I have to wait 3 days for a refund of £300 . We work on a tight budget and waiting for refund which takes no more than 5 mins”

Unfortunately we were only notified by the ferry operator about the unavailability after the booking was placed and it was a very busy weekend so no alternative sailings were available. As your booking was placed on a Saturday our accounts department wasn't available, therefore the refund will be processed today (Monday). Sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

We are sorry to hear about your delay in receiving information. If it was regarding the new customs procedures, unfortunately we are experiencing a high demand for last-minute assistance at the moment. We advise customers to prepare well in advance. We can see from our records that your booking was made yesterday and you successfully travelled last night.

“Hopefully you will rectify the current situation and remedy this review. I totally by chance checked my bank statement to check on another issue when I noticed two almost identical payments had been made to freightlink! I was sent a payment link for an upgrade to my return journey which was for £42.56 which I paid online using the link. My bank also sent me a security number by text to allow the payment to be made. It turns out a second payment was made using my same card details later for £42.55! A Penny difference but what I am more concerned about is that I did not authorise this payment or even know anything about it prior or after. I am concerned how this is even legally possible to have my secure details retained for future use without my permission. I have contacted freightlink today by phone and have been told they will investigate and get back to me. If I have not had a reply by tomorrow I will pass the matter to my bank as an issue of fraud. I have now had the reply from freightlink below who have stated it was a typo and they have refunded. The amount has as yet not been returned Tony account and also this does not explain how they were legally able to use my card details to take a second payment without my knowledge #cardfraud. I will now be passing this matter to my bank to deal with.”

It appears there has been a miscommunication between our customer service and accounts departments due to the change in booking. I can confirm that the second payment has been voided. The penny difference was a typo. We will be addressing this error with the team members involved and working on a better solution to prevent this from happening again. Additional payments are taken under clause 8.5 of our terms and conditions https://www.freightlink.co.uk/terms-and-conditions. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

“We didn’t have a smooth experience unfortunately. Booked online the slots we required.. then got a phone call to advise not available.. the guy then told me he can get 2 vans (we had 3 travelling) at 10am but possibly could get them across in afternoon.. so I said in that case you will be able to get all 3 across? He said I can only let you know at 11am.. (we were meant to be travelling the next day.) Another colleague then rang me to advise that the actual day isn’t possible for any of the vans to go on the day requested and that he didn’t know where the other guy got this info from. 5 calls that day it took to get us booked for the Wednesday.. and return on the Thursday. Couldn’t be completed in one phone call. Our emails and app and online account all show different times and one of the vans isn’t even on there. So I had to call again to then receive a written email to confirm they are booked for the date an time we confirmed over the phone. We travel tomorrow so hopefully there isn’t anymore inconvenience.”

“I got charged 87 euro extra to be sure to get the caravan shipped on the 21st but did not happen so im not happy with the service”

Helpful Report

Posted 4 years ago

We're sorry to hear you are unhappy with the service you received. Unfortunately the movement of caravans on freight ferries is complex and they can only travel on certain sailings. Our customer service team did the best they could to make the necessary arrangements. The additional charge was because of the change in ferry operator used. Each operator has different prices for shipment.
