点评:Unfortunately, we did not have a positive experience with these people. We had carved out some time for ourselves that day as it was our anniversary, sorted a babysitter, and our afternoon ended up being a very expensive drive to Lulworth and back!
Unfortunately we created an assumption for ourselves which was never corrected and we feel that the offer of an hour rental was a bit misleading.
When we picked up the flier for Bovington SUP hire and contacted them about an hour hirr, they asked us about renting for the day instead, which we couldn't do due to having our 1 year old at home. They did not check our understanding or check where we were going. On the morning of collection, I checked online for their address but it just says 'Dorset' and the link to google maps also just takes you to a general area, so I asked whether we met in Lulworth at the beach (as most people I know who have rented collect the boards from the beach ready to go). I know it says Bovington but again this was an assumption unfortunately. It wasn't too clear, even looking back the your site now, that it is a collection from home, as looking at the site, all the photos are on the beach so our understanding from that was that it was a pick up, ready to go from the beach, 1 hour on the water situation, which was perfect as it was my first time.
When they said it was a pick up from Bovvy address, I mentioned that to my partner and we both then assumed there must have been a small leeway of time either side of the hour to allow for getting to a place and sorting the boards, parking etc.
When we came to pick them up, I asked them about the logistics of the hour, because an hour just seemed really short, and his answer was 'an hour is an hour'. I honestly was stood there just contemplating whether we even bothered because it was going to be such a short time on the water. He did say if we weren't back on the hour on the dot, that was okay 👌🤔. He asked us where we were heading and I said Lulworth, to which he offered the option of Wareham, which he described the water as 'pretty stinking, it's full of duck sh💩t, but it's closer 👌'.
Due to that we decided Lulworth was probably the better option. We were asked to be there for 1200, and after paperwork being filled, we left at 1207 and headed to Lulworth. We arrived around 1225 and the parking was heavily full and we had to park at the end of the overflow car park. I went to pay whilst my parter started pumping the first board. I came back and said to him, I've paid for parking but this really isn't going to work. By the time both boards would have been pumped up ready, we would have had around 20 minutes to get down to the water, be on the water, and drive back. So realistically, we weren't making it onto the water. We packed up everything and drove home.
There was an obvious misunderstanding the whole way through it seems. It definitely could have been rectified and we could have booked 2 hours or even half a day if we knew. They did offer to sort something out for us next time, but unfortunately it won't happen as we had to get sitters in etc as we do not know anyone in the area, so it was a massive effort just to get the time aside and sorted to do it.
I have checked with a few other people who have rented boards and they also said they'd have expected it to be a pick up, ready to go, 1 hour session. Not feesable to have a 1 hour option as it's probably not possible, wherever you go!!!
We asked for a refund and explained everything to them, as we did not even get to use the boards, we literally drove around with them in the boot! This was instantly declined. I wouldn't bother with these people as their customer service is terrible.
翻译:不幸的是,我们与这些人相处并没有获得积极的体验。那天我们为自己留出了一些时间,因为那天是我们的周年纪念日,我们安排了保姆,而我们下午的往返拉尔沃思的车程非常昂贵!
不幸的是,我们为自己创建了一个从未得到纠正的假设,我们认为一小时租赁的提议有点误导。
当我们拿起 Bovington SUP 租赁的传单并联系他们大约一个小时时,他们询问我们是否可以租用一天,但由于我们 1 岁的孩子在家,我们无法这样做。他们没有检查我们的理解或检查我们要去哪里。集合的那天早上,我在网上查了他们的地址,但上面只写着“多塞特郡”,而且谷歌地图的链接也只能带你到一个大概的区域,所以我问我们是否在拉尔沃思的海滩上见过面(就像大多数人一样)知道谁租了,从海滩收集木板准备出发)。我知道上面写的是博文顿,但不幸的是,这又是一个假设。即使现在回顾您的网站,也不太清楚,它是来自家里的集合,因为查看该网站,所有照片都在海滩上,所以我们的理解是,它是一个拾取,准备好了从海滩去,1小时的水情,这是完美的,因为这是我第一次。
当他们说这是从 Bovvy 地址接客时,我向我的搭档提到了这一点,然后我们都认为在一个小时的两边一定有一点时间余地,以便能够到达一个地方,对木板进行分类,停车ETC。
当我们来接他们时,我问他们这一个小时的后勤情况,因为一个小时看起来真的很短,他的回答是“一个小时就是一个小时”。老实说,我站在那里只是想我们是否会打扰,因为在水面上的时间太短了。他确实说过,如果我们没有准时回来,那也没关系。他问我们要去哪里,我说拉尔沃思,他提供了韦勒姆的选择,他形容那里的水“很臭,里面充满了鸭屎💩,但更接近👌”。
因此,我们认为拉尔沃思可能是更好的选择。我们被要求在 1200 点到达那里,填写完文件后,我们在 1207 点出发前往拉尔沃思。我们大约在 1225 到达,停车场已经满了,我们不得不把车停在溢出停车场的尽头。当我的伙伴开始抽第一块木板时,我去付钱。我回来对他说,我已经付了停车费,但这确实行不通。当两块板都已打好气准备好时,我们将有大约 20 分钟的时间下水、浮出水面,然后开车返回。事实上,我们并没有成功地到达水面。我们收拾好所有东西就开车回家了。
整个过程中似乎存在明显的误解。它肯定可以被纠正,如果我们知道的话,我们可以预订 2 小时甚至半天。他们确实提出下次为我们解决一些问题,但不幸的是,这不会发生,因为我们不得不让保姆等进来,因为我们在该地区不认识任何人,所以这是一个巨大的努力只是为了腾出时间和排序去做。
我已经与其他几个租用冲浪板的人核实过,他们也表示他们预计这是一次 1 小时的接机、准备就绪的会议。 1 小时的选择是不收费的,因为无论你去哪里,这都可能是不可能的!
我们要求退款并向他们解释了一切,因为我们甚至没有使用这些板,我们实际上是把它们放在后备箱里开车兜风的!这立即被拒绝了。我不会打扰这些人,因为他们的客户服务很糟糕。
