Do not use Expedia. Never. You will pay dearly

 

EXPEDIA DOES NOT RETURN YOUR CALLS!!! Never. 

Expedia East Europe will treat you like garbage. Here is proof.

Do not offer your services to Expedia as a hotel. Never.  They will not help, they will treat you bad and they will close your account. It looks like using them as a client is the same.

I had to call Expedia US to complain ( long international call )  and I got an escalation list like this:

 

aciuban@expedia.com ( Alexandru Ciuban ) 

alerch@expedia.com – Aneta Lerch

nkleiner@expedia.com and some phone numbers. I do not remember Kleiner’s first name ( it was over one month ago ) although I called numerous times.

Neither Kleiner ( which is like the big boss ), nor Lerch ( which was mentioned initially on top of the escalation list ), nor Ciuban are never returning their calls, nor their emails.

I contacted all of them initially of July 6th, and on August 18th I have no response from them. NO RESPONSE. This is proof they read the emails.

This is the text of the initial email. Expedia, will you kindly respond ? 

Wants response: Yes

Message: Dear Expedia, 
I am one of your partners, meaning a hotel in Buzau, Romania and I am writing to complain about the behaviour of your Romanian customer service treating partners. Especially Vlad and Madalina Postelnicu. Madalina Postelnicu terminated my contract with you. This is after I have badly treated by your employees Gergana ( I believe she is Expedia Bulgaria ), Vlad ( Expedia Romania ) and Madalina Postelonicu. All I have asked these people is to speak to a manager. Please refer this email to the competent supervisor, and NOT to Madalina Postelnicu.

Plingere impotriva Jandarmeriei care a folosit gaze lacrimogene August 2018

Mai jos este textul plingerii de am trimis simbata dimineata. De cititi tot, gasiti si link la plingerea corecta.
 
Pentru mine, vinovati nu sunt Carmen Dan ( o retarda care va face puscarie oricum ), sau Speranta Cliseru ( alta retarda , care va fi scuipata pe strada toata viata ei ).
 
Pentru mine sunt vinovati sefii Jandarmeriei. Nu va ascundeti dupa deget. Aveti mijloacele sa recrutati pe cei mai buni. Si stiinta ( ziceti voi ) sa-i antrenati.
 
Rezultatele se vad daca dai ocol guvernului in timpul protestelor : tigani burtosi batausi, curve reciclate in jandarm, sportivi prinsi ca s-au dopat si pentru care marea mama Jandarmeria gaseste un loc caldut unde sa dea cu tomfa fara sa fie pedepsiti. Pe banii mei.
 
Un fel de gardienii publici de la inceputul anilor 90, leprele alea din armata , cu burta si bani multi, care nu stiau sa faca nimic.
 
Ati cazut la examen cind ati intors armele impotriva poporului si ati dat cu gaze in oameni nevinovati.
 
Ati scuipat pe haina militara. Ati incalcat propriile voastre coduri etice.
 
Jandarmeria Romana trebuie desfiintata. Ca exemplu.
 
 
 
Model de plingere rizibila scris de mine. Abia astept sa imi spuna ca nu o iau in considerare pentru vreo neconformitate administrativa, ca voi da in judecata exact politistul ala.

Very bad experience with Expedia, hotels.com and Madalina Postelnicu, the head of Customer Care at Expedia Romania

Update July 5th, 2018

As I got no response from Expedia Romania ( none whatsoever , in 3 weeks) I had to call Expedia US ( these guys know all about customer service! ) and I have got the names and number of  several  managers of Expedia Europe ( they seem to cover the Balkans as a separate region ). Just wrote them and we will see if Expedia is faster now. A case like this would have been impossible in Canada ( nor the US ) , but it seems standards are different in Eastern Europe. In the mean time, I loose revenue. Expedia, hopefully you are fast.

EXPEDIA ? THINK TWICE!

 

Very bad experience with Expedia, hotels.com and Madalina Postelnicu, the head of Customer Care at Expedia Romania

DO NOT PROVIDE ANY SERVICE TO EXPEDIA!

I am still in awe and waiting for a response. I’m a partner to them ( meaning my bnb supplies the product they want – hotel rooms ).  In fact, I was a partner to them until oine week ago…and due to unilateral termination of contract from them, this is history.

Their treatment is bad and their attitude is unprofessional.

It all refers to them not charging the credit card of a customer they provided, nor passing the credit card details, nor referring the problem to a supervisor. 

They will try to make you feel uncomfortable for not clicking THAT option, for not clicking another option or by simply suggesting you what you should have done. In any way, or in any lenght of conversation, they will not refer the problem to a supervisor.  

Actually, the supervisors will refuse to talk to you ( I overheard them in the call-center ).

Customer service, respect, good attitude with Expedia, Hotels.com, Hotels.it or Madalina Postelnicu ( Market Associate Eastern Europe, Expedia Group ) , the only one from whom I was able to get an email and a name ? Not a response, do not actually expect a response from Madalina, you will not get it.

Hopefully someone from Expedia will read this ( sooner or later ) and will want to respond to complaints no :  61639327 , 62446305 62851939 , 62674179

Parcarea pe locul de handicapat – drept sau necesitate ?

M-am inflamat la povestea cu Manuela Harabor care a parcat un Jeep frumos pe locul rezervat handicapatilor, dupa care a chemat “comunitarul” sa-l goneasca pe Dide care o filma. Filmarea, explicatii si versiunea dcnews  aici , daca are cineva curiozitate.

Nu puteam scrie mai bine decit Dan Jiga: , care ducea de colo-colo oameni cu Skoda lui batrina, ca sa faca un bine societatii :

“Și ajung o dată la un loc pentru cei cu handicap, cu un prieten cu handicap locomotor, ocupat de un nene de gen tanti actrița. Omul meu mere în cârje. Dăm și de ocupant, care îmi spune că nu am abțibild de handicapat. ”

Si eu am un var cu handicap, si eu am ochelari de schimbat , buletine de refacut, carduri de sanatate de facut , etc. Dar nu mi-a trecut niciodata prin cap sa-mi iau abtibild, si nici sa ma bag, precum gaina , in fata. Daca Manuelele Harabor nu o faceau, poate cozile mele erau mai scurte.

PS. Dide nu e userist, din ce stiu eu pina acum. Se pare ca nici nu stia cine e Manuela Harabor. Eu stiam cine e Manuela Harabor, pentru care aveam o simpatie enorma de cind am vazut-o cu titele goale in Padureanca prin ’88, si pe care o plingeam pentru cum se lupta ea cu autismul lui fi-su.

Dide e un nebun care face ceea ce trebuia generatia mea sa faca in anii ’90.
