Horrible customer service! My partner and I booked a weekend away to Rottnest this last weekend (10th & 11th October) and unfortunately, despite paying extra for bag delivery, our bags never tuned up. Instead, they were left behind at the North shore ferry terminal. Before embarking on the ferry we saw both our bags located in the middle of all the other bags placed by other customers. We departed on the 13:45 ferry on Saturday 10th October.

My bad for mistakes, english is not my...

Trip: Booked a return trip along with a bike hire. Found that the bike had issues so was able to give customer service a call and they were able to promptly organise an exchange with the Bike Hire shop on the island. Have to say that the bikes provided by REX only have three gears so don't do well as the island can get fairly hilly, and the bike I had been provided had issues with the gearing hub where it'd skip as you pedal.
