AFerry.co.uk Refund denied

Booking ref 9316411. Dfds ref [protected]
Needed to cancel journey, this vehicle part of truck team carrying a tractor pulling sledge to uk. Booking of truck ref 9314592 refunded no room on ferry dfds
People in motor home needed to operate sledge so therefore didn't need to travel because the truck was not now travelling.

Surely this must warrant a refund, doesn't fill me with any confidence to book through your company again
The monies for this journey is £531.35

AFerry.co.uk Ferry algeciras-tanger thursday 13th april 2017

Dear Sir/Madame,

Our 4pm Balearia Ferry with the AFerry reference No. 8984137 was delayed by almost six hours on the 13th April 2017. There was no a reasonable or extraordinary reason for this delay and we are entirely entitled to claim a full or partial refund.

After a 6 hour wait and a 2 hour ferry trip, we had to face the Custom controls at 12am and a long drive to our destination. We were also about to lose our reservation on the hotel due to the late arrival, which was 2am. I will not claim for consequential losses but we kindly ask for a compensation.

I would much appreciate it if AFerry could give me a respond shortly. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Marina Naranjo

AFerry.co.uk Jadrolinija scam

I posted the following information on this site on Sun 24 Jul 2016 at 16:28: Read

Jadrolinija Jadrolinija Contacts & Information Posted: Jul 24, 2016 by Diane Martin Ticket purchased from AFerry not honored Complaint Rating: Contact information: Rijeka, Croatia, Croatia croatiaferries.com Jadrolinija reference number: 3358294 AFerry Booking ref.: 7278660 On July 24, 2015, I bought a round trip ticket from AFerry for the Ancona-Split-Ancona ferry. On August 14, I made the outbound trip. When it came time to make the return journey on November 12, 2015, I was refused entry to the ferry, told my ticket (my confirmation letter) was invalid, that I had no reservation and would have to drag myself and my luggage back through customs and passport control to buy a new ticket at Jadrolinija's office, which I had no alternative but to do. The ferry personnel were unapologetic and unhelpful. I am elderly and have a disability that makes walking, climbing, and lifting very difficult. I was also quite ill and exhausted at the time. Although I had reserved and paid for a sleeping berth, I was told there were none left. I had to sit up all night with a room full of noisy, smoking truck drivers, after which I had to travel for 8 hours by bus and train in order to get home. It was a thoroughly miserable experience, after which my illnesses worsened. I was very ill for several months as a result. I would like a full refund, as well as reparation, to which I believe I am entitled. I would also like AFerry to investigate the matter with Jadrolinija to discover why this happened. This is no way to treat your clients. Copies of my confirmation letters, new ticket and boarding pass will be e-mailed separately, as I have been unable to attach them here. Thank you for your anticipated assistance. Diane Martin

An employee no longer with AFerry promised to look into my claim and respond. I waited months with no response, then contacted him again only to be told he was no longer with the company, and I would have to submit my complaint and all supporting documents again, which I did.

I will not let this matter rest, as I am out of pocket several hundred euros and am very angry at being treated this way by both companies involved.

After some more back and forth, this is our latest exchange:

Good Afternoon,

I am very disappointed with your unwillingness to get to the bottom of this matter and to compensate me for my undue and unlawful expenses, not to mention my illness and inconvenience. This seems like very poor customer service and customer relations to me.

Did you present my boarding pass from your company and request an explanation of why Jadrolinija refused to honor it? If so, I wish to see that documentation. When I was refused entry onto the ferry, the man checking tickets merely shrugged his shoulders and told me to contact your company with my problem. As I told you previously, by the time I reached home, I was too ill to do so immediately and for some time. And when I did, my complaint was not investigated, if indeed it was, and I have no proof of that, until I contacted you again months later.

I demand proof of your investigation and reasons why I have been treated in such unprofessional and dishonest manners, by both AFerry and by Jadrolinija. I insist on being put in touch with your manager.

Thank you,

Diane Martin

Четверг, 13 октября 2016, 15:20 +02:00 от AFerry :

Good Afternoon

After checking our records I can confirm that we didn’t receive your original complaint in 2015 for the journey you made that year .My colleague Ehsen received your message concerning an update about your complaint and he chased up with the operator.

In July 2016 when we contacted the operator regarding your complaint and after a long investigation they advised us that they have no record for receiving any complaint from you in 2015. As per the Croatian law compensation claim and the complaint need to be made within 3 months of the travelled date.

So on this occasion we are unable to go any further with your claim.

Kind regards,

Fatima Nadeem

AFerry.co.uk Amendment of ferry ticket

I bought a ferry ticket from aferry.com for a return dunkirk -dover from 22 to 24 july 2016. Two weeks before this date i contacted their customer service to change my bookings dates to next year since we had problems. They answered that they will charge a 30 euro for the amendment. So i tried to amend to next year but they had no possiblities open for next year so they suggested i book for next december then i can change them to next year july for free. But when i amended the booking they charged me with a new ticket price so now i have paid twice for one ticket that is only valid in december not even july 2017...
They are refusing to refund me and i am now afraid that they will do the same deed in december when i ask them to amend this ticket again!
How can we give complaints to a court of law since it seems that many people are linched by these thieves?

AFerry.co.uk Ignoring complaints

I had issues with their website and the wrong information was inputted when making a reservationon the 7th April under ref: 7857342. I contacted them immediately and they advised that it was ok and the changes will be updated at the port, that was wrong advice. On the 30th May I was not allowed to board the ferry and the ferry company forced me to purchase a new ticket worth £170. I spoke and emailed them several times requesting a refund as it was their fault but they are ignoring my calls and correspondence. DO NOT TRUST THEM, book directly with the ferry company.

AFerry.co.uk They sold me a non-existing service

Aferry.com sold me a crossing from dover, uk to calais, france as foot passengers using dfds ferry line. Turned out, dfds does not accept foot passengers. Instead of at least refunding my fare (£30) they tried to shift the blame. I suffered a great deal of aggravation, a 4 hour delay and £60 of extra out-of-pocket expenses. At the veil least, I should have been refunded the fare I paid. It appears they never give anyone a refund!

I wish to make a complaint.
Mr.Charles Allen, UK
Ferry booking confirmation-6804326
On the 27th June 2015;10:15hrs, waiting to board the ferry from Ancona to Patra, I was the first passenger to board the ferry on my motorcycle; Yamaha T-Max, EX61 MKO.
I was instructed to board the ferry by a staff member at the departure point, I was told and I qout" drive up the ramp", when I arrived on the ferry deck there was nobody in sight to instruct me as were to go there, there a was a narrow ramp that desended to another deck so I very carefully I road further into the ferry on the deck leading from the boarding ramp which after coming from bright sunlight into darkness I was unable to see very well, I was not instructed to take the narow ramp, instead I carried on into towards the bow of the ferry as I said I was not instructed by any member of the crew to do otherwiese.
I must stress I prosseded very slowly, suddenly the rear wheel slid sideways then over I whent the the machine laying on top of me, all of a sudden staff apeard from no ware and helped me get from under the bike and lift it off me, while doing so a member of staff said "freezer lorries have left a lot of flued on the deck".
Are you alright somebody askes me "No I said" but at that time nobody cared all there concern was getting rid of me and filling up the ferry.
A brand new crash helmet that I was wareing smashed into the steel deck which has made the helmet unfit for use and must be throne away, any bang on a motorcycle crash helmet makes it unsafe to use afterwards.
I sustaind a badly bruised elbow which blead and became contaminated by the freezer fluid left behind by the freezer lorreys, at no time was I warned about this hazard as no crew member was present to advise me of this hazard, which I was unable to see.
On the T-Max were 2 custom made panniers and pannier rackes that had to be fabricted for my T-Max, the left pannier and support rack will need major repairs, also part of the front left fairing must be re-sprade and a shirt was ruinde because of the fluid left behind.
1. Left elbow injurde.
2. Left Pannier and support rack badly damaged.
3. One new crash helmet wreck'd.
4. Damage to left side fairing.
When I was straping my T-Max down with my own straps a little Greek fat deck hand repeatedly called me stupid, infact 3 times, I am a 64 yr old disable man and falling off motorcycles is bad enough but when it could have been avoided makes it even worse.
I will point out that after a Greek female steward realised that shock was setting in was very supportive and administed
1st Aid to my elbow, in fact all but this little fat Greek gentalmen were very hard working and atentive on both trip's
I am contacting you because I wish to make a claim aginst, AFerry for damage to not myself, but my T-Max and my panniers, at the moment the T-Max is being assesed for other damage to the machine, I will provide further paper work and if you wish the detales can be posted to you from the engeneers and the motorcycle dealer re; crash helmet and panniers and body sprayer, I look forward to quick response
Regards. Mr. Charles Allen

Made a booking for the ferry to Corsica but had to change the name and age of one of the passengers. The 'self-amend' function doesn't work (there's a remark saying that changes can only be made by telephone..?) and after hanging on the telephone for more than 30 minutes (international call!) I decided to take the risk and start my travel to Marseille without making the name change (not sure if this is really needed anyway; ticket stays the same...)

I booked ferry cruise at aferry.com and received email confirmation for my booking. I had to purchase separate tickets for motorbikes and passengers and when we arrived I was told that it is impossible to travel with that kind of papers. Well, how it is possible then that they’ve sold me those tickets?

Dear AAWitt,

Thanks very much for booking with AFerry.com. Please accept our sincere apologies that your booking experience didn't meet your expectations. We have thousands of very satisfied customers every day and we would love it if you could join their ranks.

To address your specific issues; it would be impossible to book as a foot passenger on a DFDS Dover-Calais ferry and certainly our system does not allow this and has never allowed this. If it did, we would have many more complaints. :) Instead most people on Trustpilot (where we ask our customers to write reviews) actually give us 5 stars.

Around the time that this complaint was written we did receive a similar complaint and I wonder if you could be the same person? In this situation, the customer booked a car crossing but in the car registration field wrote "foot passenger". If you are this person, we can only apologise that you didn't understand how our booking system works. We try to make our site as clear as possible for everyone. We have since made changes to our site that should make things even clearer. However, we have never had a case like this before or since.

Regarding cancellations and refunds, the ferry companies decide on these themselves. As you booked an economy ticket, a refund was not possible in this instance. We are sorry about this and can certainly appreciate that this must have been frustrating.

Thanks once again for booking with us and we hope that this reply has helped you to understand the situation more. We hope that this one experience won't put you off booking with us again.

Best regards,

The AFerry team

Dear Mr Lakey,

Thank you very much for booking with AFerry.com. Please accept our sincere apologies that your travel plans didn't work out as expected with the ferry company you chose. We have thousands of very satisfied daily customers and would love it if you were able to join their ranks.

We would very much like to help you, and would very much appreciate it if you could contact us so we can do that. We have no record of you contacting us about this. The situation you describe sounds very strange to us as we work very closely with many ferry companies and have never heard of anything like this happening.

If you look at your booking confirmation you will see some direct contact details, of if you have lost these, you can find our contact details by following the link at the bottom of website pages. You could even email us your phone number so that we can call you when it is convenient.

We really do want to help you and to resolve this issue to your satisfaction.We look forward to hearing from you and thank you once again for booking with AFerry.com.

Best regards,

The AFerry team

I need to contact AFerry regarding my existing booking with them, however, their phone number does not work and they do not provide any means to send them a message despite their claim that I can send them message directly from My Account. No, in My Account I can't even see my existing booking.
