Hi all!
Much improved idea-STILL not working in my opinion.
Just gone back to 25/7 posts-NO ONE has 'edited' to say they've booked-which I find hard to beleive as a lot were for late bookings.
Why an earth would any agent bother replying to these-you could do 1/2 an hours work & the poster has already booked-therefore wasting our time.
I've replied to 4 posts recently-all for lates-got ONE mail back after I enquired as to different airports, etc....so FOUR quotes & no-one has acknowledged that they have had anything from me. Now I'm not saying that I'm miffed as no one has booked-but to not even have a quick pm/e-mail to acknowledge the quotes given?
No agents will post on here ulness people are SERIOUS about booking & want to book NOW/soon.0 -
same here no reply to my holiday post, like it says above a "not possible" would work.
This should work both ways
Thanks
