Groupon

BUY WITH CAUTION!

I bought a Groupon Daily Deal, with the proviso that I could get a refund if I cancelled within 7 days as long as I hadn't redeemed the coupon. After receiving the coupon, the following day I decided that I was no longer interested in the deal and proceeded to inform Groupon via email on *******@groupon.co.uk because customer support on *******719 is non-existent.
Its now been 15 days and still no word from Groupon, still waiting for my refund. It is scandalous that such an outfit is allowed to do business.
My advise to anyone thinking of signing up with Griupon or getting the daily deal... PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

You buy coupons for services and then fight to be able to use them... Pretty disappointing. Also with a coupon you always need to book ages in advance.

Usually more expensive than companies offer regularly. No phone number to call them to complain about Groupons not working. Groupons expire and do not coordinate availability with places.

Wow I bought a bunch of things on ideeli, but do not plan to do so anymore!
I bought a Jessica Howard dress for $74.94. It took AN ETERTNITY to arrive, and when the damaged, opened box finally arrived, it was 2 SIZES SMALLER than i odered! I immediately contacted live chat who was of no help, and then i tried calling and got a phony "everyone is helping other customers" lie of an answering machine. I do not want a refund - i want my dress! And i ordered it to wear to a function in 2 weeks, so I really want it soon. This is rediculous. I want to speak to a real person on the phone.

Purchase a resort deal online Groupon for room. No fine print was present when I got to the hotel to check in they told me I have to pay another large sum of money. Groupon is and scam I have no idea there has to be paid same amount resort said it was for booking on groupon. Their fee Resort fee top of that. When I checked with Groupon they told me that I needed to read your fineprint not everyone knows about their fINE print. Why CAN'T THEY
BE HONEST AND PUT IT IN PLAIN VIEW so you can see WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO. They did not want to return ANY OF my money. Obviously THEY ARE CROOKS IN DISGUISE. CAN'T TRUST THEIR Behavior.

This is my review of groupon and Jasmine Restaurant in Manhattan located on E 49th Street, NYC:

Though the food is good BUT please be aware the Groupon discount offer is a complete hoax that they use to reel people in.
While the restaurant does not honour their offer according to the Groupon advertising, Groupon also doesn't follow up but offer excuses to avoid dealing with the problem!
I guess this is completely an HONESTY and INTEGRITY issue - on the part of both parties involved! Shameful!

I was shopping for Whale Watching tour in Victoria BC Canada on Groupon. When I searched the item, I did specifically indicate I was searching for tours in Victoria. I also set the region preference as in Victoria BC in my profile with Groupon. I did find the items, 5 whale watching tour tickets, but through out their whole website and the whole purchasing process they did not even mention once that the Canadian tour was quoted in US$. Why would somebody do that? I didn't realize the currency issue until the transaction came to my credit card as pending. Later, they even charged a service fee on that. Eventually, I paid C$100 more than what I would pay if I purchased directly from the tour company. Tried to solve the issue with Groupon, and in total talked to about 20 customer services. Every time they asked me to provide the full detail of my purchase like they couldn't find my order. They only used template answer to tell me that there was nothing they could help. It is a complete SCAM website. I would give 0 star if I have the option. Stay away from it by all means!

Horrible customer service! The groupon misrepresented the actual deal. It was for "a dental checkup with exam, x-rays, cleaning, and fluoride treatment" at Ocoee Dental Care P. A. The company was just horrible. They refused to give me a cleaning or exam unless I paid them another 30 dollars even though the groupon said that these services were included. They told me they would brush my teeth for me after taking the X-rays without using any dental equipment. If I wanted them to use dentist equipment I needed to pay them the 30 dollars in addition to the groupon. They claimed that in the small print it is written that an "extra $30 fee may apply for a more complete exam depending on patients condition." However I had no condition that required anything other than what the groupon stated. When I called groupon they told me there was nothing they could do. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was placed on hold for 20 minutes. When I finally reached someone they told me that there was nothing they could do because of the small print, even though I explained the situation and told them that I did not want a more complete exam- I only wanted what was advertised on the groupon. They told me they would look into it and get back to me. I never heard anything from them. Groupon does not advocate for consumers in any way. Buy a groupon at your own risk. I spent $39 on a groupon without receiving the service stated.

I purchased a ticket on Groupon to take an online concealed weapons class - however, after registering for the class - and using the voucher code sent by Groupon - the site would state that I was unauthorized to use it - however it let me use it to sign in and take my money. After numerous attempts to sign in - I wrote 23 emails to the National Carry Academy - to no avail as no one has ever responded - I also tried to call on 2 different phone numbers and both are busy constantly and there is not reaching them.

I then contacted Groupon who stated that I should clear my cache and try again - I did - and nothing happened - same issue. Then I asked for a refund and they told me that the voucher was a view and pay and therefore could not refund me. This Groupon company appears to be a scam and seems like they sold me a fake ticket or a ticket to a company that does not either exist or is a scammer - buyer beware! Do not trust Groupon - they are just bad and a rip off! They ripped me off and I would be very careful with them - as for me - I will never use this groupon junk again - lesson learned!

If you are Canadian DO NOT book anything from this organization they advertise in Canadian funds and then they charge in US funds after the fact. I booked a hotel in Canada from Canada and paid double the price with fees and taxes then what I would have if I had booked directly. Groupon are bandits stay away from them this is my first and last time I will every use Ripon.

Wish i could give groupon a minus 5 star if the system would let me do so. This is my second horrible experience. Last year i bought 2 manicure package from them and only used one when i went to check the other one it was marked as used. Wrote groupon to complain and they told me that i have to take it up with the business. The business owner did refused to comply and i lost my money. I was so stupid to buy another deal from them when i tried to use the groupon the business owner is giving me the runaround. She cannot make appointments and that go in anytime. Took time off from work to get to the business and no one was there. I called and was told that the woman has to take care of her mother and cannot come that i have to wait 4 HOURS. I CALLED GROUPON WAS TOLD THE WAITING TIME IS 50-60 MIN. NEVER GOT THROUGH TO THEM. WENT ON THEIR WEBSITE AND FILED FOR A REFUND. I GOT NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. GROUPON IS AS SHADY AS THE BUSINESS THEY REPRESENT.
