Groupon

I've bought my last Groupon. I also want to let everyone know to NOT buy the luggage tags by Qualtry. I paid for 2 pink luggage tags. I received 1 tag in a completely different color. Not only that, but they charged me shipping to send the tag. When I called the company, they said they'll send the other tag, but i have to pay shipping again. Why? It's not my fault that you sent wrong one. When I asked about this I was told that they send each tag individually anyway and everyone has to pay shipping per tag. Does that make any sense? If I buy 2, put them in the same dang envelope. Why charge me $4 for each tag to be sent in a separate envelope. Good luck keeping your business open. I highly doubt you'll have any returning customers.

They don't have a wish list. You have to put everything into a shopping cart to hold onto it. I close my iPad and it purchased everything in my shopping cart. I didn't say purchase or press purchase. Their website is flawed
They send an email out and you have to respond within two hours. Like we're on line 24/7 and it's hooked up into our brain. Not. Their customer service has a I'm sorry policy.
Companies should not get so big that they can't rectify their mistakes. "I'm sorry" these days for online companies is just not enough.

Groupon may seem like a good idea to get new customers in the door, but the reality is that it costs more money than it brings in. Groupon customers are shopping for a deal and do not want to spend more than they intended when they bought their groupon. As a small business, we had to cut our price of our normal service then pay Groupon half of what was actually sold. This is easily recovered in our business if customers would spend any extra when they come in but most do not. In addition, some of the rudest customers we have had lately have been groupon patrons. Our business will never use this service again.

For the most part I've been satisfied with my purchases. That being said, I have had a few unpleasant purchases as well! Most recently I purchased a Bamboo shoe rack. Was so excited when it arrived, that is until I opened it! Clearly this item was previously purchased and returned damaged and missing instructions as well as hardware needed to put it together! It was a non returnable item! I can see why! My advice is be careful of what you purchase especially non returnable items!

I'm a regular customer. My love to this website has started long ago before I managed to earn my own money. I always needed discounts to save on the services, so groupon was the right choice for me. I still use it habitually, but the service is not quite the same. Don't know what was the reason and what influenced them, but it changed.

When I tried to question them on a deal, they closed my account, and my family's account without any reason to. My family have separate accounts, and somehow they looked into the other accounts and closed it stating they can't use the same cc #, and totally closed their account. Even when they had other cc, groupon would not work and they closed all the accounts. This is the worst company ever! Never heard of such a thing. Luckily I just recently started using them and also printed out my vouchers, so I didn't lose too much, but imagine if I didn't. Totally ridiculous company!

These NON compatible Nespresso capsules nearly permanently damaged my Nespresso machine. They are NOT compatible. Furthermore after many emails and phone calls Groupon has yet to reimburse me. I am still waiting to see if my machine will work properly again. If not I will contact a lawyer and sue for capsules and a Nespresso machine.
As for the coffee company Global Coffee Traders, they too have offered little assistance. They said there hands are tied. Well I am not stopping here. This is totally unacceptable!

Groupon offers discount, could be a good thing except with Restaurants. Cheap is NO GOOD! Cheap for no good reason is especially bad.

I was skeptical about Groupon when my partner wanted to try out with restaurants. As soon as he brought up about that we must present the groupon as soon as we walk in the restaurant or even when we make the reservation. I sensed something fishy.

Restaurants want to boost volume at a lower price, that is understandable. But do they want to loose solid money for these discounted volume? This is questionable.

We found our answers and proves during our restaurants visits. How the restaurants remain consistent profit? They cut corners... which correspond to their need to know that the suckers (discounted eaters) are coming when you present your coupon.

There is no better explanation or any other reasons that Groupon holders must show it up front (before they are served).

You do the math.

I ordered 2 pairs of shoes from Ideel.com and discovered that they had charged my credit card 3 times! Fortunately I am very diligent with checking my card balances and was able to have my bank stop the charges before Ideel got paid more than the cost of the purchase. I did contract customer service (live chat was the only option listed) and they apologized profusely via chat but said it was a "technical glitch". The shoes arrived and they were perfect! I love them and overall I am happy with my purchase but I feel very uncomfortable ordering anything else from Ideel.com. I really wish that there was a customer service phone number listed on their site as it feels very impersonal to have such a big issue and not have a human being to speak to.

I've been a member of Groupon since they launched, and other than a few interesting offers here and there, it's pretty forgettable. The offers were so much the same that I stopped reading it altogether, so maybe it's changed in the past year? It was a great idea to start, but has declined to 'meh' status since then. Most of the offers they had were no better than the offers you could get on the advertising companies' own websites, so... what's the point?

My Uncle purchased a gift for me from Groupon. When I went to redeem the redemption code was not working. I tried for months thinking I was doing something wrong. When I contacted them they gave me the run around. I went on Twitter to try to get their help and someone finally started to help. Then when my Uncle contacted them for the new redemption code(because they told me due to security purposes he had to reach out since he bought) all of a sudden no help. He was given the run around again and no help. We are so disappointed, Will NEVER use them again. Please beware.
