点评:I contacted this company back in June 2025 when the Paparoa Track bookings opened, to see what their rates were for car relocation. The company name then was Paparoa Shuttles. I didn't get any communication from them until 14 December, less than a week before our walk, when I got an email from Go Tracks attaching payment details and requesting payment to confirm my booking. I had booked with another company in the meantime (in June 2025). I then got another email from Go Tracks on 17 December asking for payment to confirm the booking. I mistakenly assumed these emails must have been for the company I had booked with for the car relocation 6 months earlier and arranged for payment to confirm what I thought was the booking I had made with the other company (it turned out I had already paid the full amount with the other company six months earlier).
I realised the mistake the night before the start of the track, on 20 December and immediately rang Go Tracks to explain. They were unwilling to provide any refund, despite not having contacted me in any way until less than a week out from the start of the walk, which according to their policy means you can't get more than 50% of the booking refunded. When I contacted them they apologised for sending two emails but didn't acknowledge failing to contact me for six months until less than a week before the walk. I got an email from them saying they were waiting to hear from their manager over two weeks ago but haven't heard anything further. Communication definitely lacking, seemed a bit sneaky and misleading and pretty miffed to be $339 out of pocket.
翻译:2025年6月,帕帕罗瓦步道(Paparoa Track)开放预订时,我联系了这家公司,询问他们的车辆托运服务价格。当时公司名叫帕帕罗瓦穿梭巴士(Paparoa Shuttles)。直到12月14日,也就是徒步开始前不到一周,我才收到Go Tracks的邮件,邮件里附有付款信息,并要求我付款以确认预订。在此期间(2025年6月),我已经通过另一家公司预订了车辆托运服务。12月17日,我又收到Go Tracks的邮件,要求我付款以确认预订。我误以为这些邮件都是六个月前预订车辆托运服务的那家公司发来的,于是安排付款以确认我以为是另一家公司的预订(后来发现,我六个月前已经通过另一家公司支付了全款)。
直到12月20日,也就是徒步开始的前一天晚上,我才意识到这个错误,并立即致电Go Tracks解释情况。尽管在徒步活动开始前不到一周才联系我,他们却拒绝退款。根据他们的政策,最多只能退还预订费用的50%。我联系他们后,他们为只发了两封邮件道歉,但对长达六个月未与我联系,直到徒步活动开始前不到一周才联系我的事实只字未提。两周前我收到他们的邮件,说他们正在等待经理的回复,但之后就杳无音信了。沟通明显不足,感觉有点狡猾和误导,白白损失了339美元,真是令人恼火。
