No stars
My wife and I woke up this morning at 2am to ship a Presa Canario puppy to Calgary through Continental. They told us to report to ticketing at 4am, upon arrival we then found out that ticketing is not the place to be for international flights, and we need to report to cargo. Problem is, the flight leaves at 6am and cargo doesn't open until 7am...... Then, after trying to work with them to remedy the fiasco over the phone this morning, they tell us they will not ship a Presa Canario over 20 lbs!
They booked this flight for us twice and never told us the breed stipulation. Nor did they tell us it is not physically possible to make this flight because it leaves at 6 and cargo opens at 7. And so far no one is willing to go out of their way to make this better. They told us to wait for their call or email, as they will try to arrange for us the service in which we inquired initially. And here we sit, some 5 hours later, and no call or email. So we woke up at 2, drove an hour to the Airport, waited 45 minutes to be told to we can't ship your puppy, than drove another hour back home with the puppy we intended on shipping. We have been shipping dogs all over the world for almost 20 years, and never have we been sent through the ringer like this.
So, if you use continental, make sure that they have their ducks in a row. Personally, that will be our last transaction with them.
