Failure by a luggage transfer service

No, all bags were delivered incorrectly to a local pub. All bags were forwarded to my address and not individually to my friends so I had to distribute the bag. There is a consequential loss here in that I had to use my own fuel here to get the bags to everyone. Had the bag transfer company not failed to deliver the bags to the correct place, I wouldn’t have had to make these journeys to deliver the bags to about 5 different addresses.0

A loss of a week is also unacceptable. I paid for them to deliver to the station at a particular date and time which they agreed to. The fact I had to distribute the bags as a consequence of their failure is also unacceptable. The fuel must at least be claimable through compensation if there’s any ounce of common sense. I didn’t choose to use this fuel to make the delivery. I had to do it due to their failure which is clearly established.0

So how many miles are you talking?

You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time0 -
That would then be a consequential loss for them. And I would have to stay at home for multiple days. All this is irrelevant anyway. Why should I be at the mercy of a business who failed to carry out their contract correctly? I have suffered consequential loss as a result of their failure full stop.0

Total mileage about 40-50 miles0

If the contract was between yourself and the company, then as already pointed out earlier, I don't think you'll have any luck with the mileage claim.unholyangel wrote: »I have my doubts about fuel being claimable. Time definitely won't be.
It sounds like they only entered a contract with the OP, not the friends (otherwise surely they would have sent them back to each friend). So their liability would be to deliver to the OP, not the friends.0 -
It’s a consequential loss to me though. As a result of the breach of their contract, I’ve lost money. Also, I’d note that one of the bags seems to have been lost by the courier as it still hasn’t been delivered to me. That’s a matter for the courier company though.0

In response to Foster dogs comment earlier, I told them I would be there 3 hours earlier on more than 1 occasion and they didn’t reply. They also agreed in earlier correspondence that it’s fine to deliver to the train station. Therefore the responsibility clearly lies with them as a breach of contract. There’s no question about it.0

tbo127 you've probably wasted more time and effort arguing the toss on MSE about this than you spent sorting out the luggage. You are maybe owed £5 for fuel, get on with trying to claim it if that's what you want.....but is it really worth the effort?0
