I understand that traffic can pop up, but to stop the bus for about half an hour when you are already an hour behind schedule is entirely ridiculous. I booked this bus ride on the premise of a 1:30-7:30 bus ride. It will end up being at least a 1:30-8:50 bus ride, if not worse.
I went to them to get passport size photos done for my OPT/work permit application. My photos got rejected by the immigration office, stating that they were oversized. As a result my work permit application and my joining are now delayed by couple of months easily.
I purchased a $150 round trip ticket from Cornell to Newton for thanksgiving break. I have used the company before as they have a virtual monopoly on direct Cornell-Boston travel and I always add about 30-60 minutes to the arrival times specified on Student Agency’s website because the buses never arrive promptly. This time it’s even worse though.
The lady who works there is rude!
If there were any competitor at all, I would advise against using this company. As it stands, I would advise people in the Boston area to simple stay on the Ithaca campus during breaks or try to ride-share.
I asked the bus driver why we are so behind schedule. He replied that we stopped the first time so that we could get food and that we stopped the second time because the owner of the first rest area didn’t like the idea of 8 buses stopping there. That raises the question of how was this not planned out ahead of time? How did the company not know which rest stops would be accommodating and which would turn us away (after some travelers already ordered their food so we would have to wait for them)?
We scheduled Hired Hands to pack our apartment into a U-haul truck for 2pm on a Sunday. We were driving to Boston the next morning. 3pm rolled around, and we started worrying. We could not get anybody on the phone or on email. We got a call at 1pm THE NEXT DAY with NO EXCUSE. Just "um, we apologize for that."
Hands-down the lowest international shipping rates in Collegetown! I shipped my package with FedEx Express at just a FRACTION of the prices I was quoted at other shipping places I visited in Collegetown... really happy with this hidden little gem in eHub
It is currently 7:03 and we are at our second rest stop. I plugged out location into google maps and we are still 1:41 away from campus. Traffic has not been very bad - this is more a result of leaving 18 minutes after we were supposed to and stopping twice. We will be at least 80 minutes behind schedule after we leave this rest stop.
The lady there claimed that they know how to do photos for all immigration purposes and that have been doing this for a long time and that I should know that. I am so annoyed with them that they messed up with my photos after all that big talk!!
THEY NEVER SHOWED. THEY JUST... NEVER SHOWED UP.
