On March 3rd 12:56pm EST, I reserved seats online to get a journey with Amtrak.
I noticed I created a mistake within the times and on March 3rd 2:39pm EST (1 time and 43 minutes later), I named to possess these times altered.
Fresh times led to a brand new cost (lower). I had been informed from the individual about the telephone that I'd be billed the brand new quantity and delivered the right seats. I understand this since I asked specifically.
On March 4, Fedex attemptedto shipping my seats. After I obtained the cover (March 8), these were the incorrect seats and (after examining my banking account) I had been billed the incorrect quantity.
I called Amtrak, talked with 5 people, including Customer Relationships.
They basically stated that the only path for me personally to obtain my money-bank (distinction between unique booking and fresh scheduling) and obtain proper seats would be to:
1) visit the stop today or watch for my journey and submit the aged seats and obtain the brand new and my money-back
2) deliver the seats I've back at my very own cost
I told Amtrak it was undesirable. I'm not close to the stop and would really like my money-back before my journey. I also experienced that I ought to not need to deliver them back at a price in my experience, when I was handed (obviously) the incorrect info from the individual who improved my reservation.
I had been informed, in no uncertain conditions, that Amtrak wouldn't matter me a prepaid cover or supply me having a delivery bill number. I had been advised I really could send them back having a press, but without shipping verification, there is no promise they'd get them.
I suggested that Amtrak reimbursement me the $15 cost for delivering me the seats. I believed it was a great bargain. I had been subsequently informed they wont do this since, you realize, they DID mail-me the seats (despite the fact that used to do not believe they'd be sending me the incorrect types).
Knowledge this might have boiled-down to some conversation mistake about the area of the Amtrak worker who transformed my reservation, I believed the $15 charge returned in my experience was an acceptable demand and allows me to subsequently consider that cash and email back the incorrect seats.
Alas, I've been informed by everybody I Have spoken to they wont get it done, which likely to the stop (therefore making me out that extra cash for some time) or sending the seats at my cost are my ONLY choices.
I had been informed by Brandy in Client Relationships that I had been liberated to contact the organization workplace easily therefore wanted. That we did. I quit messages with Joseph Boardman (boss/Leader) and Matthew Hardison (Key, Revenue Submission and Customer Support). But I had been also informed by another person within the corporate workplace (after I experimented with achieve time) that Amtrak was never likely to spend their cash.
Really? This type of bit to create a client content?
And truly now, this really is kind of a problem about theory. Pity you, Amtrak.
It Is incredible to me. And me, quite a long time Amtrak client. Perhaps not for extended?
