Verified ReviewerLost passport

I am very upset with customer service. I told them I lost my passport on two different occasions.
Not one of them told me to fill out a lost and found form. All they said was that someone would email me. No one did. When I called back in 12 days' time, for the third time, a representative tells me I should fill out a lost and found form!
Why was I not told by two different representatives 12 days ago? They literally cost me 12 days' waiting time! Now I have to wait another 14 days for them to email me! That is a total of one month just to know if they found my passport or not!
It's the worst customer service ever! Disgraceful!

This company is the worst when it come to refunds. They'll tell you they're going to give you one and then just not do it.
Like yeah we got this we are checking into & don't ever refund you.
Out of sight out of mind. They'll forget about it eventually type of vibe here.

Verified ReviewerRefund or rebook departure
Booking number 324258****
I'm calling about a refund or to rebook my departure. I called to cancel but got no answer.
When I did get through, it was 10 mins after the bus left Erie, PA, and my Uber driver was still 30 mins away from me. I had to request a refund from my Uber driver as well, so it wasn't my fault I didn't make it.
But if I can't get a refund, I would like to rebook a new departure if possible. Thank you.
- Good cheap tickets
- I need to resolve my issues about my refund

Hi, I recently encountered an issue with my FlixBus booking concerning a change in my departure time. I would like to discuss how FlixBus advertised that they would reschedule my departure, yet I did not receive any updates or confirmations regarding this change.
My booking reference number is [320900****], and my original departure time was [1:30]. According to the information I found on your website, I was expecting a new time which was [1:50], but the location was never changed as i was specific and very detailed further more I didn't receive any notification about it.
Can you please assist me in resolving this issue and clarify why I wasn't informed? Thank you for your help!254483**** email trejoeric53@***.com this lack off support was very poor and cost me a days worth of work reason for traveling that was unable to to deliver by flux bus

Verified ReviewerTicket
The customer service didn't help at all. I booked a bus ticket; the bus was 20 minutes late and it finally arrived when I was asking the cashier where the bus was.
I missed the bus and they refused to refund me or even give me a new ticket for a different date. I won't recommend this company or their client service to anyone, not even to my enemy.
- I dont have any
- Are not honest

Verified ReviewerResolved: Refund
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Followed up on the company response to the posting by calling back in to customer service who then gave the additional refund to cover the balance that had previously been unresolved.
Flix cancelled the bus and then refused to issue a full refund for my two tickets. The representative, Princess, refused to help, saying that my bus had left on time as scheduled!
- Awful customer service

Verified Reviewer |Things need to change
On and about the 6th of April I bought a ticket from Flex bus. I was also moving and things got really complicated as the day moved along.
Before long my boarding time on Flex bus was only 2 hours away. I called Flex bus to reschedule my trip and when I did they wanted to charge me an additional $90.00 for a total of $153.00 dollars. When i asked them for a refund they arrogantly told me that they would only refund 20% of my purchase price. Every since Felx bus a German based company-took over Greyhound both companies are a mess.
They hire people in some faraway land who do not understand your situation and often times are not trained properly and often times don't communicate properly.
There have been hundreds of complants filed with the BBB yet little if nothing has changed. SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE!!!
- Pros are the buses are clean
- Bad pubic policy unfair business practices
Preferred solution: I would like Felxbus operate in fairness and re-write it's policy in a more equitable way.
User's recommendation: I recommend a Boycott of Greyhound and Felxbus

Verified Buyer |Refused to offer refund after not coming to address on ticket.
Is a negative star review available?
My son purchased 2 tickets for he and his brother to come home from college for Christmas. They showed up at the place and time they were supposed to according to ticket along with 6 others.
The bus did not show up, and it was reported to them later that it had gone to a different location. Son who bought tickets called to get a refund and was refused. He tried to explain on the phone why they should get a refund and he was hung up on. I then called to try to get them a refund and I was hung up on and on 2nd call, then told that there was no supervisor I could talk to or no address for the company I could write to (lie, I found it on Google).
I had to drive 5 hours each way to go pick them up to bring them home for Christmas.
Flix bus steals money from college students. Shame on them
User's recommendation: BEWARE!

Why didn’t you start things on your end? Fill out the appropriate form in person to get a replacement?
Why wait on flixbus when you don’t even know if it was found? It sounds like it wasn’t an immediate need.
What absolute garbage are you talking??? I did start things on my end the VERY NEXT DAY!
I called customer service! They didn't even ask me to fill out a damn form. I followed up after 3 days. Again, they didn't ask me to fill out a damn form.
The customer service reps are INCOMPETENT! I was asked to fill out a form after 12 days when I didn't hear from them and called for the 3rd time. And why wait on Flixbus??? I didn't wait.
I called. I did all I can. They don't even have a lost and found office anywhere! They say they don't have any office in Toronto at all.
There is no supervisor I can talk to. All they say is "wait for 2 weeks" and they will contact you! We are talking about a Canadian passport here, not some pack of smokes!
TERRIBLE CUSTMOER SERVICE. Very frustrating!
No. Not customer service, but where you apply for passports.
I applied for my passport at Service Canada. Lost it on Flix bus with incompetent service on the part of customer service.
What on earth does Service Canada have to do with anything?? It looks like you didn't comprehend what I am even venting about.
You should have went immediately to Service Canada if you were under some time constraint. They have emergency policies in place for lost passports.
I work for Service Canada. Why pay $160 again when Flixbus can just tell me if they found my passport or not?
The customer reps were of no help at all.
There is no lost and found office at all. Just extremely frustrating!
