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 5 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.

We're sorry that you are unhappy with the service you received. Unfortunately your booking was placed on standby by the ferry operator. This is something we do not have control over. Several alternative sailings and routes have been offered but have been declined. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

“I got an email this morning saying that my unaccompanied tractor had been shipped. This evening after a difficult day my wife and children (we have no-one we can leave them with because of coronovirus) travelled to belfast (90min drive) to collect it. When we got there i was told "oh it wasn't shipped because it had to sit 72hrs till coronovirus had decayed on it". Why could someone not had told me this today before i was due to collect it. At a time of avoiding unnecessary journeys this is more than rubbish customer service.”

We're sorry to hear you had issues when collecting your tractor from Belfast. Unfortunately we were not notified by the ferry operator of the 72 hour quarantine period until 21.00 last night but the operator had already informed our system that it had been shipped. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

“Bought ticket then got a phone call after I paid for it to say that they couldn’t guarantee Place”

Helpful Report

We're sorry that your booking was unavailable. Unfortunately, this route is operated by a freight-only vessel with very limited space and the operator could not confirm the booking. It is also particularly busy in the evenings. Alternatives were offered by our customer service team. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

“My experience was not great..I rang sat 6.45 to change the vehicle Reg it went to voicemail & I left a message stating the change.I received no call back so I rang back at 8.15 to be informed that you guys do not receive the voicemail. Proceeded to make the change but it was very difficult as your phone line kept interrupting our conversation which was annoying to say the least...regards Tony”

“I booked for departure from Rostok at 6 and 8 and I was told that the reservation was unconfirmed. I was only repaid euro 188.54 instead of two for a total of 377.08”

The booking was made at 03.00 and unfortunately our customer service team were unable to manually confirm the booking with the ferry operator. Also, we were not notified by the customer that a second booking made had not been used therefore the refund was not processed at that time.

“used you twice both occasions did not get on ferry better going through ferry operators”

Helpful Report

Unfortunately due to technical issues with the Irish Ferries Ulysses ferry some sailings were cancelled and therefore other sailings were busier than usual. Although we tried to find the customer alternatives with a similar sailing time, the other ferry operators and routes were also busy. As a booking agent, this situation was out of our control.

“Not happy. Booked a 21.30 crossing online. Confirmation email said 16.00. Rang to complain but advised only one crossing at this time then a few hours later was rang back to say all sorted for original time. Another call then advised no bookings available for 21.30 all full & I can go on a waiting list or go via another route meaning an extra 2 hours drive when I return to England.”
