Wasted journey charge
We booked an 8-yard skip through EasySkip, but unfortunately had a very frustrating experience.
When the skip arrived, the driver placed it on our driveway. There was limited space around it, but we made it clear that we were happy with the placement and could still access our property without any issues. Despite this, the driver chose to remove the skip.
We were then informed that we would be charged a £90 “wasted journey” fee, and if we still wanted the skip, we would also need to pay an additional £60 for a road permit. At no point during booking was there any clear information on the website about needing a certain amount of space around the skip.
When we contacted EasySkip, they stated the reason was due to potential damage if the skip moved when being collected. We explained that this was not a concern for us, as we were planning to remove the front posts of the property anyway. They then changed their reasoning, saying the posts could damage the skip itself.
After a lot of back-and-forth, they agreed to reduce the wasted journey charge, which we appreciated. However, this situation could have been completely avoided if clear guidance had been provided on their website regarding space and access requirements.
Overall, our issues were resolved and good communication from Lane at easy skip, however the lack of transparency led to an unnecessary and frustrating experience.
