Has anyone used this service? My daughter has been corresponding with them regarding tickets for the chunnel from London to Paris and other things and they have been very helpful. But not ever having used them before, I am hoping to get some feedback from people who have -- before my daughter books her tickets. Thanks!

Why would you use a travel service to do what you can perfectly easily do yourself? Travel from London to Paris can be as cheap as ~$100 RT with advance purchase tickets booked online at www.eurostar.com if you know what you are doing.
When is your daughter travelling?

Thanks to IrishRovr and ajeleonard for your advice!
Normally we would use the Eurostar site directly but my daughter thought she had checked carefully and found that the Eurostar website was sold out of the less expensive tickets on the date she needs-Jan 6. But now we will double check and see what%26#39;s there and what it costs vs. the service she was investigating.

I just checked. RT tickets London-Paris-London with a departure on Jan. 6 are available for £59, or about $114. I did not check one way tickets but they would almost certainly be considerably more expensive. Your daughter should just book RT with a bogus return date (I think I used Jan. 13) and discard the return coupon — or keep it as a souvenir.
When booking do NOT use the US as the originating country. Instead use the UK. Your daughter will pick up her pre-paid tickets in London.
Hope this helps. Give another holler if you need any more info.

PS: I%26#39;d be interested to know what the travel service was charging for tickets for this date. And were there any other shipping charges or fees? Hope you don%26#39;t mind sharing this info with us...
