    Soolin - Is there anyone of transferring/mirroring this thread onto the 'Rip Off' section of your website - I'm sure it would grab some more attention?

    I can transfer the thread if people think it better to do so. However this ebay forum is more widely read than the warning board..and as is sort of fits into both boards I wondered if it might be better left here exposure wise?

    I guess leave it then, I wouldn't want people to lose track of this thread.
    Thanks

    Rail-Blue Charters is another company that appears to be run/connected with the Rainbow Horizons & Prestigerail company - Again Steer clear

    I would get the police involved, whoever was posting on here for the company offering refunds if you email them would have an IP address which the police can trace so they will be able to find out where they are for you!!!
  • Rail Blue Charters are not owned or anything to do with Xcite Travel, Rainbow Horizons or Xcite Destinations. They have no connection to this whatsoever.

    People who have emailed, are being refunded.

    Does that include the ones that have already been waiting a month or more? If so then maybe we will start getting people reporting back that refunds have been received. Until then I think this thread still stands as a warning.

    Best of luck Susyq.

    I'd like to be a generous person & believe what Xcite have posted here but If I were you I wouldn't be holding my breath.

    Hopefully I'll be proved wrong on Friday.
    Thanks to all who post comps :A :T

    I've had the same problem. My Mum used buy it now to book a holiday with excite, no holiday materialised. It was for her birhday as well, luckily I found her somewhere else to go, but it's a nasty thing to happen.

    Annoyingly, ebay had had loads of complaints about xcite and still let them trade!
