Thieves and liars
Thieves and liars
What kind of scum takes advantage of customers during this time of Covid19?
Redy2Go that's who.
We were supposed to be flying on to Bali but had a phone call off our UK travel agent to say we would have to return directly to Manchester
On the morning of Saturday 21st March I phoned their office on 1300 246 669 to book an airport transfer from The Ultimo, Sydney. I explained that the transfer had been paid for in advance by our travel agent, Mainstreet Travel Group.
When I told them that it was for a 6am flight and that we needed picking up at 2.30am your receptionist advised that you did not operate 24 hours but they could organize a private taxi. I asked what about the money already paid by the travel agent, she said that it could be set against the private hire and she quoted a further A$36.
She then advised that the airport didn't open until at 4am, I then adjusted the pick up time to 3am. The receptionist then up'd the quote to A$44.10c (Why?)
Anyway, we accepted and asked that we pay the driver, by card, and that the driver give us a receipt so that we could claim the balance off our travel agent.
A short while later we received a message that the driver didn't have a card facility and that the transfer would have to be paid for in advance with yourselves.
This we did, over the phone, from the Ultimo.
We were collected on time but did not receive a receipt,
On returning home and checking our account we find that they have deducted £50.68p, this is more than twice the amount we agreed on. At that mornings exchange rate that equates to just under A$100 which is Aus$56 more than quoted.
After 2 months, 2 phone calls and numerous emails to their NSW Operations manager, Gavin Linkins, I have decided to take action and have handed the whole thing over to our travel agent. I hope they have Redy2Go blacklisted by all UK travel agents. I will also be reporting them to VISA for card fraud and Sydney airport authorities plus all major airlines that fly into Sydney.
Use them at your peril.
