Archers Direct National Call Centre

Can anyone assist with the following please:

Ground Floor

Tiviot Dale
Stockport
SK1 1TB

Call our booking hotline on 0870 460 3894.
Tel.: 0870 460 3891 (Administration)

I have done a search with Google and also a search on 118118 and both drawn a blank.

Any offers of help would be appreciated.

Their website address is www.archersdirect.co.uk

A search of the Internet Archive throws up quite a few snapshots with the 0870 on. The earliest is 11/1999, which gives a 0845 number. 0845 600 1410

Try it, let us know if it's any good. I also recommend bookmarking the Internet archive site.

That particular number is for the Archers Direct Brochure line.  We are getting close!

A couple of 0161 numbers come up when Googled with the post code. They are for the same address on the ground floor and are for Cosmos.

The only other thing I can suggest, is to use the internet archive to look at holiday sites before 11/1999.

Alt. phone numbers not now usable - Archers
Reply #4 - Jan 10th, 2011 at 10:52am
 
I can't see any obvious thread for advising as here - surely this should be a main "forum" item?  This is first time I've needed to advise, so:
Archers Direct, Bromley, shows several alternatives to their 0870 /0844 numbers.  None of these will redirect so all of existing notes are irrelevant now (Jan 10th 2011).  I have tried both 020 as well as the 0800 number without success.   They will only supply the 0844 number in brochure.

The Archers Direct contact page says that the call centre is at Stockport, which is also what jamesbond said in his posting at the top of this thread.

So perhaps that's why they won't deal with calls at Bromley, because policy is that customers call the Stockport office.

What jamesbond's e-mail in red highlights is that Archers is part of Cosmos Holidays/Monarch Group. I found the numbers for Monarch Airlines only last month. Indeed, at the same time I found 0161 numbers for Cosmos as well. 0161 is for Stockport as well as Manchester.

A quick call to the 0844 573 4806 number for Archers Direct and Cosmos 0161 209 4253 number reveal that they are answered automatically after one ring and that it is exactly the same male voice. This suggests we may be getting warm!

It's not between 0161 209 4250 and 4299; they are all Cosmos, Avro and Somewhere2Stay.

You could try Cosmos on 0161 209 4267 or 4270. Or you could try 0161 209 4252, 4262, 4265, 4273, 4273 which presently all say they're closed but don't identify what they are.

I tried the 0208 696 4100, which turns out to be Finance Office and they can't put through (this is clearly Gift Voucher purchase line only), but lady was sympathetic to complaints about use of 0844 and hopefully it may change ....

Main office in my Archers brochure is Bromley, which fits with the 020 number above, so Stockport may be Cosmos - Archers is a Direct booking division of Cosmos, and holidays are always "combined", in my experience, which doesn't stop them being excellent value, and usually better than for Cosmos bookings.

0161 209 4253 answers with a "this call will cost 10p plus...   per minute,  which suggests it is same as 0844 number.  Is it easy to check how much a call costs at once?;  I am on a phone package for which 0161 should be free so I'd like to use and check the charge, since it may bypass the 0844 line, at least for Cosmos!

The call cost is determined by your telephone provider. As you have said, you are on a tariff which 01 calls are free, so the call to 0161 209 4253 is.

The message you hear is played out by the party you are calling which publishes 0871 numbers which cost from 10 pence per minute (from BT). Thus, the message relates to when you had called via the 0871 number (the company doesn't intend people calling the 0161 number).

If I were you, I would call one of the 0161 numbers and see if they will deal with your query about Archers Direct.
