After buying a groupon for a dog collar I noticed it was not working. I contacted groupon and the company. Both are telling me its not their problem. Groupon has now informed me they will not refund the money even though they know the code isnt working. Save your money and just order from the company itself. Bad customer service
I am so tired of companies and businesses using "COVID" and now war to take advantage of people. Groupon has now joined the bandwagon. Everyone else is robbing people why shouldn't we. Eventually people will wake up they will not tolerate the lack of service and quality. I made a purchase via Groupon I realized they had my old address. No worries because there is a time window to edit or cancel at least that was the option I was given so I updated my address immediately. Company still sent to wrong address. There response was oh well nothing we can do. In my opinion the company Expert Deals robbed me. They say talk to Groupon, Groupon says talk to the seller lol It's a joke they both passed the buck. Not getting what I paid for means nothing as long as these greedy pigs make money. Done with Groupon and as for the little company Expert Deals You will fall. You are not big enough to be pigs and you will never get there.
They have the worst customer service ever I order iPhone 5, they send it to the wrong address when I called them they said that i have to call ups, and then ups said its group who has to contact them, so I had to call them again, but they keep saying the same thing. I never had my refund still, and never get the package. They even refused to contact me to follow up with me.
Shipping address to my daughter was different than MY cc address so they cancelled and called it fraud and cancelled my order after charging my cc. Then offered me a different product for $100 more dollars
Had trouble with a company I bought a coupon for. Let groupon know and they have been quick in following up with me but... they offered a refund for the $10. I paid for the coupon and a credit with them for the $8.95 the I paid to the company I redeemed the coupon at. Sounds good huh? Well when I accepted their offer groupon stopped communicating with me. So I am still out $18.95
This is the worst business that provides the most terrible customer services! I bought a hotel deal (I later found that it wasn't any cheaper than the official hotel reservation) on groupon. It turned out to be wrong dates. I didn't pay much attention to the confirmation page that was sent to my email. Later, I just realized that it was wrong dates before I could cancel it. Groupon did not send any other reminders before the trip was supposed to happen. I called their customer support to see if they can reschedule my trip for me, and they said NO. They were not even willing to refund even half of my money. Unlike hotels which only charge one night for no show, greedy Groupon charges for all of my money for no show. They make money basing upon not providing any services. This is my first time using Groupon, and definitely not coming back to it again! I recommend everybody stays away from it!
Worst shopping experience ever!
I bought a set of luggage a few days ago. The next day it emailed me said the order was canceled, and asked me to contact them if I believed my order had been incorrectly identified as fraud. Then I found out not only my order was canceled, my account was also deleted! When I contact them, they said the reason was because they called me but couldn't reach me.
I strongly doubt this is the correct way to identify a fraud and treat a customer. I've met the same situation before. I was at work and couldn't pick up the phone, but the other place only canceled my order, which I can totally understand. What ideeli.com had done is super irrational and disrespectful to customers. I feel insulted and very angry about it.
I live Groupon! Whenever I need something I cruise through their website. I have purchased many items. The prices are very reasonable. Next time you need something check out their website you will not be disappointed
I was very unhappy with a cooking class I purchased from Groupon. I felt the cooking class was not in fact a cooking class, but rather a cooking demo (there was very little cooking done by the people there for cooking class) I contacted customer support expressing my unhappiness. I received a response within 24 hours and was given half the value of what I paid to use on another Groupon purchase. I was very satisfied with their response and would be willing to give Groupon another try because of their response.
I purchased Sophie la Girafe from Groupon fee weeks ago and it is FAKE! I sent email to Grouping asked about this issue they told me to contact the merchant by myself since item sold by third party. So I tried to contact that merchant (Haute Gifts)but I haven't heard anything from them. I asked Grouping again and only answer I have heard from Grouping is if there is any update they will let me know. I just want my money back. It s ridiculous that they let third party selling FAKE items. Better do not buy anything from them because when anything happens they don't take any responsibility.
I bought a groupon@ $25.00 for $75.00 worth of product. I let it expire but decided to purchase $25 worth of of the product. When I keyed in the groupon code number, the vendor did not recognize it, thus I could not go thru with the purchase. I e-mailed groupon about the situation and they said they could do nothing. I e-mailed them again and said they would make an "exception" and give me a groupon credit of $12.50. Still dissatisfied, I e-mailed them again... nothing... Not a happy groupon user.
I've purchased electric toothbrush heads, 600 count sheets. I was about to purchase "DuPont alergen heater filters" until I read a review of the product. In my experience the items are not as advertised. Electric toothbrush heads were not "sensitive" although they looked the same as my Oral B sensitive heads. The sheets were nice and seemed ok until the 3rd washing, when the seam split. I have never had sheets that had a seam split. The heater filters' review said there was no marking on the product denoting "DuPont" and the size was "off". I will no longer look at or purchase anything on Groupon. The prices seem good but the product is inferior in my experience.
Bought coupon for website (lego website Miniaturemegafigures.com, website required me to purchase above the coupon amount, then never received product, stopped receiving responses - don't see a way to recover lost money - will never use again.
DON'T DO IT. Even after I spoke with a rep who told me that I would receive Groupon Bucks for my purchases, they NEVER gave them to me. Now they say too bad so sad. Supposedly the $$ never expires with the merchant. Don't be lured by the "low" prices and "deals". READ THE FINE PRINT. Most of the merchants will honor the same deal outside of Groupon. Refund policy sucks. If you're lucky you might get Groupon Bucks to use toward something else, but AGAIN... READ the fine print. There's a reason why Groupon is less than a 3 star rating. Go straight to the merchant and you'll still save money!
We have been working with GP for a salon I manage and it has been a complete nightmare. Neither of our reps have helped us and we were left to fend for ourselves. We have been trying to get things removed from GP for 9 months and we STILL can't get into contact with anyone. They also send our clients notifications to buy several of the same service even though it's suppose to be one voucher per service per person. So either we honor them and lose A LOT of money or people get mad at us for GP's issues.
I have been using this site for almost two years and have placed many, many orders. I have had all good experiences. I have returned many items as well and never had a problem getting a full refund. You have to be careful placing orders, because some items are not returnable. There are the two things that annoy me about the site. The high shipping charges and the fact that they have certain things you cannot return. If something does not fit you, you have no need for it at all and it is a total waste of money. And certain things, like bathing suits, you really need to try on to see if you like. Regardless, I love the site and will just never order bathing suits or nonreturnable items. Great deals.
Hi Lori,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on SiteJabber. We're so glad you've found our site user friendly and our sales great. In regards to our shipping, we currently have a new policy wherein you pay $9.95 for 30 days of free shipping. When it comes to non-returnable items, based on the situation we'd be happy to discuss a return with you. If you ever have any questions or concerns, or if there is anything I can assist you with, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Having family in another city and trying to find gift items without the usual gift card feeling, I am always trying to find family oriented activities. The items I have purchased have lived up to the expectations and have provided new ventures in family fun!
I ordered Groupon Goods, Headphones and this second time, bed sheets.
The headphones took forever to arrive, but I let that slide.
This time I ordered Bed Sheets on May 24, I got an expected FedEx Arrival date of June 21. Almost a MONTH! Ridiculous! It says 7-10 days business days just to ship, and they keep to that time. Not happy with the super slow shipping.
So I order a service off Groupon. Called the number to set an appointment and it was disconnected. I then googled the address an it was permanently closed. So I asked for a refund and Groupon refused and took my 75 dollars. Do you them this is my 3rd issue this month with them.
I purchased a Groupon item and was told to redeem at the manufacturer. When I tried to the wanted to. Charge me an additional 40 dollars. This was an scam and all Groupon would do is offer me a credit.
Answer: Yes, Groupon is legit. You need to read the fine print before ordering live event tickets- -they will not refund your money even if it's there fault. I only buy tickets for activities that don't expire or you can use the purchase price towards a non-Groupon service the vendor offers. Hope this helps.
Answer: Yes, report it but using social media is a very effective way to get a companies attention. Spread the word, Groupon does not honor returns!
Answer: I usually call the merchants I am interested in before buying the coupons, and ask them if the groupon coupons work, and how much more I have to pay. You could do the same, contact the merchants you are interested in and ask them how groupon works for them?
Answer: Groupon usually sends a tracking # via email If not do as the other people suggested, check My Groupons
Answer: I wish I could say why, but a solution might be to contact Call Curtis, or your local News station that helps with consumer issues. They always seem to get fast resolutions, because companies hate BAD TV PUBLICITY.
Answer: I personally do not trust groupon. The question previous to yours printed on this site should answer your question as to its reliaiblity
Answer: The one I took by Holly and Hugo at least were I would research the company before buying. Also about twice a year they put all their courses for $5! I got mine completed it and it helped boost my resume and I was able to get a vet assistant job pretty quickly compared to before where I only got a call back from about one place which didn't lead anywhere. :) hope I could help!
Answer: Well, it's not Ideeli anymore... it's been Ideel for about a year now I think. Yes, there is a customer support phone number. I've had nothing but good experiences from Ideel in all regards - product satisfaction, price, shipping, etc. - but I've never had to contact customer service so I don't know what you'll get, but they're phone number is (888) 835-1719.
Answer: They are the absolute worst about answering customer service complaints. They will lie, they literally told me customer service reps were out sick, thus no answer to my emails for about 2 weeks. But, don't loose hope, the DAY I posted a review on this site, they answered AND gave me a 25.00 credit for my trouble. So write a review on Site Jabber with all the details and a bet a manager will answer promptly. As this is their way, I NEVER ordered from the site again after at least 3 years of orders. Good Luck and don't leave a sordid detail out of your complaint.
Groupon has a rating of 1.6 stars from 5,285 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Groupon most frequently mention customer service, credit card and fine print. Groupon ranks 250th among Daily Deals sites.
Hi Ariel,
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. When our system detects fraud and we are unable to get in touch with the member right away, we shut down the account to avoid the placement of any additional fraudulent orders. This is to protect the safety of our members.
I completely understand your frustration and again, I am so sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced. I'd be happy to work to make this right and look into your order for you to determine why it was identified as fraudulent. If you would like, I can also create a new order form for you so you can complete your purchase. Please send me a message with your information, and I would be glad to assist.
