Tony C Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I've been told that if your club hold an account with Amtrak you pay £25 & not £30. Anyone know if this is true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jupiter_19630 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have an account with Amtrak. They are useless. Used the online booking system twice. The first time head office never passed the order onto the collecting depot. The seller boxed up the birds and left them for collection like he always does, only to find the birds still there when he came home. Got an invoice for £30. Second time went ok, but got an invoice for £28.73 Blooming useless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanz Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Since Amtrak have for most fanciers been crap, what makes people think just because you can have an account or book online that they are going to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel holloway Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 AMTRAK WHAT A BLOODY JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DIDNT COLLECT THE BIRDS OT TUESDAY,WEDNESDAY PHONED THEM AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE TO BE PICKED UP THAT DAY,ASKED THE PERSON ON THE PHONE IF THE DRIVER HAD BOXES, REPLY WAS HE DIDNT KNOW! WAITED UNTIL 4 OCLOCK NO AMTRAK,PHONED THEM AT 5 OCLOCK AND THE DRIVER WAS BACK AT THE DEPOT AND THE BIRDS HAD NOT BEEN PICKED UP. SPOKE TO THE PERSON IN CHARGE AGAIN, HIS ANSWER WAS, THE DRIVER WAS AN AGENCY DRIVER,THEY COULD NOT GET DRIVERS. I ASKED HIM WHY HE DIDNT CONTACT THE DRIVER WHEN HE WAS OUT COLLECTING TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE GOING TO BE COLLECTED. ANSWER HE DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH PHONES.WILL HAVE TO TAKE THEM WITH ME ON WEDNESDAY TO WORK, DIFFERENT DRIVER AND A DIFFERENT AREA,WILL KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED.

Guest shadow Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 no its not just you i have had all sorts of problems! birds arriving a day late, going to wrong end of country,etc, they always say its agency drivers! in some respect they are agency drivers all drivers are self employed and work on franchise for Am track which is why in our area the vans are unmarked white vans since they are employing more on this system the service has gone downhill if the drivers do not want to be contacted while out on delivery they simply switch their phones off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 AMTRAK have to be one of , if not the most inept parcel service in uk history,although we need them, i think the service is a joke and have been made to look foolish by them for promising birds coming from flyers that they will be there, only to be let down by backward ppl on the other end of the fone(amtrak).they create problems for themselves and how can they boast a successful service when we all know different....paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darnaway Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Amtrak if they made Beers they would probably make the worst one( taken from an old Carlsberg Lager Ad) Amtrak in my experience are only interested with getting your Money if the Bird arrives at its intended destination then this is an added Bonus. Regards Darnaway Ps As you might guess i,m still missing my pigeon that they picked up over a month ago from Doncaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel holloway Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 WELL THE BIRDS WERE COLLECTED FROM WHERE I WORKED TODAY. DRIVER CAME AT ABOUT 10 AM. BUT ONLY ONE PROBLEM " NO BOXES " HE DIDNT HAVE ONE ,AND HE DIDNT KNOW WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO. TO BE FAIR TO HIM HE AGREED TO TAKE MY BASKET AND RETURN IT TO ME WHEN HE IS IN MY AREA NEXT. LOOK OUT WHEN IT GETS BUSY. HOPE NO ONE ELSE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
