I went to Groupon to purchase tickets for Universal studios because they had a sale. When I went on and tried to purchase the tickets it failed, so I tried 2 more times. But after that, the tickets were confirmed and I was charged 3 times. When I went to the virtual chat none of the workers would help resolve my issue they kept telling me this "I'm sorry for any trouble here. The Fine Print for this deal indicates that it's Final Sale. This is a condition that was set by the business when they agreed to feature the deal with us. So I'm unfortunately unable to process any refunds for this vouchers." I kept trying to explain to them that there was an error with THEIR SYSTEM but they would still refuse to solve the issue. I tried to call but NO ONE would pick up. I am NEVER using Groupon again this was a terrible experience
For two services which I bought through Groupon, one, the tree service, has never got back to me after four or five time calling them and giving them all my information, the other one, roof wash, has given me a very high estimate. I called Groupon to cancel my purchases, but they wouldn't give me my money back.
For the tree service which, I have never heard back from them, Groupon is going to give me a goroupon voucher and not giving my money back, and for roof wash they would give anything back, as they claimed cause is past 3 days.
We recently used Groupon to book a hotel. We had a family medical emergency and needed to cancel. We attempted to contact Groupon within the cancellation time. Their website was down. We tried every way possible to contact them, none of their sites worked. We found a number to call and surprise, surprise, no way to speak to a live person. Online chat suspiciously would lose the connection. We called the hotel and they cancelled the room but said we would have to contact expidia to get a refund as that who Groupon booked it through. Expedia had no record of it. By this time we were well past our cancellation time. BEWARE YOU WILL NEVER TALK TO A REAL HUMAN. Will never buy anything from Groupon again. The saving are not worth the hassle.
Wow! What a poor excuse of a company! Ordered a laptop case that was to arrive in7 days. Two months later get an email saying they had to cancel it because of low inventory! WHAAAAT! If anyone else ran their biz this way they would be out of business In a heartbeat. PATHETIC GROUPON
I have been burned for the last time with the misleading advertisement from this company. The next morning when I noticed I had been mislead I called to cancel my order. I was told I had two hours from the time I placed the order to cancel... Two hours! It hadn't shipped, but it was still too late.
I purchased 3 groupons from the Blue Mountain Crab Company as XMAS gifts. It was a $19 cost for a $40 coupon. I saw that there was shipping costs and thought that shipping 1 lb of crabmeat couldn't be that expensive. It was $38 to ship if from Baltimore to Northern Va. $13 in 'packing' fees and $25 in shipping. How ridiculous is that? Will probably cost $50 to ship it to TN where I live. Stay away from both Blue Mountain Crab AND Groupon unless you want to sit and read all the fine print for the next hour or consult a lawyer. When I called Groupon to complain about it, they said they were sorry I was confused. Give me a break!
I bought a one year subscription thru Groupon for BJs I went to BJs and they had no record of my information I got in touch with Groupon and they had no information. But my bank account was charged for it. So they stole my money
If I could give it lower than one star I would bought shoes had to chase delivery after 6 weeks,, eventually arrived sent wrong size, printed their returns slip, posted shoes back asking for refund. 4 weeks later contacted there sad excuse for customer services. Said had I got proof of postage,, I said no but I asked them to check the returns. They said they could not help in any way, I complained again but they never bother replied. So no shoes no refund... DONT BUY VIA THIS COMPANY..
I received a groupon from my sister for a massage for my birthday... after months of cancellations because of covid, i finally made an appointment... I could not find the coupon so i contacted groupon to find out what i should do... I got no response, so itried a couple more times & finally got a response, we can't help you because your sister bought the groupon... they would not even bother to advise me if there was anything i could do to resolve this lost coupon... i feel after they were paid, they wanted nothing more to do with this transaction... their customer service is terrible & i would not recommend
Recently I bought a Groupon, but I forgot to use a promo code. I asked if I could cancel and re-purchase because the difference was $80. I was told that wouldn't be equitable for Groupon. I've been a good customer for several years, and they wouldn't bend. They tried to get me to believe that the promo code wouldn't work for my deal, but I had referred someone who did get the 20% off his price. I pleaded as a matter of principle, but Groupon didn't care when I said I couldn't shop with them anymore. Nothing I said made any difference. Groupon would rather dump a customer than to make a good business decision. They finally offered me a measley $5, which to me was the same as leaving a bad tip at a restaurant. I no longer will be a Groupon shopper because I know that the customer DOESN't come first.
I recently purchased burberry men's cologne from groupon goods. It was my first purchase from groupon goods and my LAST. I received women's perfume. Which is different from men's cologne. I called customer service and they told me I have to ship the items back to groupon goods since they only purchased limited quantities of the product. When I take time from a busy job to go to the post office to ship the item back to groupon goods, I must then wait until groupon receives that order before they credit my credit card. I should note that they offered to credit my groupon account $10. I redused and told them I would never use groupon goods again.
The product is LOW guality! The instruction from the package comes in Chinese writing!
Follow the instructions on line but NO WAY the eye lashes looks natural! They are so full of black clumps, and even after applying the second coat with gel they keep falling under the eyes!
This was my second attempt to buy this product because for the first time I believe that I did not used properly!
But was not me!... THE PRODUCT IS REALLY LOW, LOW qualities!
I am an old customer of groupon and so far I was satisfied with my orders. This time I am really shocked that this kind of product can be sold and also coming with instructions written in Chinese ONLY!
Big time disappointing!
And sure thinks the product can not be returned: final price!, no return!
To all customers, this was my bad experience with mascara... and after you try to wash your eyes or use make up clothes black debris are left inside your eyes!
JUST A BAD PRODUCT!
I bought a consealed weapon course for my husband as a gift in October of 2012. My husband attempted to schedule a course with the vendor for several months to no avail as the vendor had no availability and no new courses were scheduled. When I contacted groupon's customer service, I've been told to... wait for it... give it as a gift to someone else!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Or wait until it expires so I could apply the same dollar credit to another course WITH THE SAME VENDOR! 'Cuz you know... apparently that's what the "fine print" states. Thieves! Please please please stay away. Groupon is a fraud!
I promised my kids they would be able to go to a local camp this summer. I didn't tell them until my purchase was confirmed. Later, I found out that the camps were unavailable--something neither Groupon nor the company offering the camp's website said. As far as I knew, I had purchased spots and the camps were open (per the website). When I called the camp to confirm, they informed me there were not enough spots for the camps I had purchased. $118 out of my bank account, upfront, and NOTHING to show for it. The person at the "camp" then tried to up-sell me into a full-cost versions of the same camps. The person I spoke to at the camp also told me, at the time of the company's sign-up with Groupon, they informed Groupon their spaces were nearly full! Therefore, more people were likely to BUY the Groupon, upfront, only to find there wasn't a camp available! I will NEVER do business with Groupon or the company offering the camp, again!
The app is set up to fool you. I looked at an offer and left GroupMe app to get card info. When logging back in to purchase it charged me three times because I just clicked on the item I wanted... ONE OF. And had to come back to the site. Never authorized 3 purchases!
REFUSES TO GIVE REDUND
Order has been pending for 5 days, Chatted with a groupon employee they said a manager would call me back. No one called me back, so then I sent email and they keep telling me to cancel it myself. BUT I can't as it's in PENDING Status. Also for tan your hide, when I went to tan your hide to use the pending purchase they made me buy new googles I could not use the ones I have. They made me buy new ones and when the order was pending they refused to give me a refund. There is nothing in the groupon that says you have to purchase new googles to use this discount.
Love Ideeli, they always have the best deals! All my purchases have been received before the promise date. And next week I am off to Jamaica with one of their vacation deals. LOVE LOVE LOVE Ideeli! Keep up the good work, especially you Jason for writing back to all the complaints!
Had bought some vouchers. As the products were sold out straight away I phoned and emailed groupon. By phone you just get an answereing machine with the advice to phone later. E-mails are not answered. Money is not returned. Gooods are not delivered. STAY AWAY FROM GROUPON
I bought something on Dec. 6th thinking it would be a great xmas gift. Well it is now Dec. 29ths and I still don't have it and I still have no response from my many emails that I have sent about it. No response whatsoever.
I bought a night suit which was labelled as Josie by Natori. When it arrived, it was labeled just 'Josie'; there was nothing about Natori about it. The fabric is cheap as is the design. From what I remember everything was returnable. Suddenly these pajamas are labeled not-returnable. If I had know that I would never have bought them. They were not cheap either, cost me 50 bucks.
Hi Raminder,
Thank you for giving us your feedback here on SiteJabber. Typically sleepwear on our site is sold as final sale, but your order confirmation email and your packing slip would have your return eligibility stated. If they both say that the item is final sale, then it would have been stated on the site at the time of purchase. The return eligibility is listed on the site by the item's photo and specification. Although this item was sold as final sale we're always happy to help you by making a one time exception to our return policy if you had contacted the customer service department. The brand Josie by Natori does have a tag that state's "Josie" inside on many of their pieces but the brand is made by parent-company Natori.
If you can please send me a message with your order number and the name of the item I can go ahead and issue you a return label as a courtesy since the item wasn't returnable. I look forward to hearing back from you and sending your return label for a refund back to form of payment. Thanks for being a part of ideeli.
Best,

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.
