AVOID - Terrible attitude and service
I have been a customer of for over 14 years and am also very loyal—using your service up to eight times a year for many years. I always found staff to be helpful and polite, but all has changed with new staff and possibly new management!!!!
I sent the email below 14 days ago and never got even a response from anyone at Headquaters, the management of the site. see email content below
=========================
I have been a customer of yours for over 14 years and am also very loyal— using your service up to eight a year for many years.
After a terrible service and attitude from Victoria staff last night, I feel the need to write to you to understand what's happening. The staff and service have always been excellent, and that's why I have been coming back so many times, but I would like to understand if this was a one-off or a management policy change.
First, the pick-up and drop-off point at Alicante Airport has always been between bus positions 1 to 4, and it was two weeks ago when I used you last. However, last night, it had changed to bus stop 46, which is a long walk and not one I want to repeat in the future.
Secondly, the driver took 20 minutes to arrive after a phone call. I know the drive is less than 5 minutes and is usually very fast. Drivers are normally happy; the one last night was very grumpy and made Victoria's Parking look terrible, and others around me felt the same.
Because I use the service regularly and my travel back and forth depends on work, I cannot be confident about exact dates, so I estimate when I will arrive. We do this via email, and the price is adjusted up or down when I arrive. Last night was no different; see the attached email.
When I arrived, we all waited 20 minutes for the bus and then returned to the office. I asked why we all had to walk out to Bay 46 and not the usual bays – the abrupt response was that the airport instructed us to use Bay 46, which was incorrect. When I came to pay my bill, which was €50 until 8th March, I got it confirmed I would be back on 4th March (see attached). I found I had my bill adjusted by just €1 by hand for four days, being knocked off the price; when I queried this, the staff just shrugged his shoulders and said that's how his boss told him to do this. I was gobsmacked.
Please explain why the service and pricing have gone downhill so fast. It looks like the business is cutting corners to save money and focusing on making as much profit as possible at the customers' expense. You forget it's the customers who helped you stay in business.
