Bought a pair of Beats Solo, good thing I bought the warranty, but as soon as I received them they were broken. I sent them to the warranty company, CPS, took a month and a half for them to send me another pair. Those were all so messed up too, and then they said," oh we have to give you the money back but not the shipping or the tax, we couldn't fix them, but you can always buy another pair." Why would I buy another pair if the first two didn't work? Three strikes I'm out right? Just terrible buy the services I suppose, but not the merchandise or the warranty oh, because neither one works.
I have used Groupon occasionally, this is the reason for 4 stars. Everything I purchased was as advertised. Some reviews said to research before buying from Groupon; this is a no brainer. You should research before you buy anything from any store, website, newspaper ad etc. I will continue to review Groupon offers and purchase after I have done my due diligence.
A fault in Groupin's website caused a duplicate purchase of some tickets and they have refused to make a refund. I am inclined to take it on the chin but their response was so unhelpful and bordering on aggressive that I am unable to leave it. When asked why they would not make the refund they made reference to the terms and conditions which, funnily enough, made no mention of what happens if there is a fault on their website. Would I make a purchase through group on again? No. They are quick to take your money but very reluctant to return it. Thank God I didn't make a big purchase like a trip or holiday. You can't trust them as far as you can throw them.
They would not let me return a comforter that I purchased from Groupon Goods. After only a couple months of use the thing was falling apart but they would not stand behind the product. Their policy is 14 days, really how am I to know this would happen after only 14 days. Needless to say I will NEVER buy anything from them again.
My family had a trip booked for the end of April to Kalahari, due to the pandemic Kalahari is closed. I logged into my account to cancel my trip and issue a refund to my credit card but groupon had already canceled my trip. However groupon is refusing me a refund and instead holding onto my money in the form of a credit on my account. The fine print state I am eligible for a full refund as long as I cancel 4 or more days prior to check in. I have contacted groupon and the absolutely refuse to issue the refund. Refused to escalate my case and let me speak to a supervisor. I am a single mom whose place of employment was closed by the state until further notice. I need that money back to help house and feed my family. This is wrong! Groupon please fix this. Their response "Unfortunately, this deal is no longer eligible for a refund to your original form of payment."
I've made so many Groupon purchases over the last 5-6 years that I cannot count them. I've gotten some fantastic deals and purchased Groupons for products and activities I would have never known about or spent money on without my Groupon daily emails.
I purchased 2 mani pedi packages as a gift for the holidays, when we tried to schedule an appointment the merchant said they were closed for the next few weeks. I initiated a refund with Groupon the same day of purchase. Groupon issued Groupon bucks, when my credit card kept the $117.00 charge I inquired about the refund and was told it had to be in Groupon bucks. Not to mention the chat agent was kind of dismissive when I inquired about the cash reimbursement as opposed to the Groupon bucks. Long story short I'll never use Groupon again. The merchant wasn't faulty and then they kept my money zero stars, inconvenient, and poor customer service. Groupon bucks or not do they really think someone wants to trust the merchants featured or spend their money after that no thanks! Do better Groupon!
I bought a Groupon for Home Chef and did not find out until I went to use it that I was not eligible because I had been a former customer. I could not get a refund or credit from Groupon. What a waste of money. Buyer beware and read all print from Groupon and merchant. My last Groupon I will purchase
My review is more centered as consumer centric, I would give it 5 stars for that, but I deducted one star because I do understand how hard it is for businesses. Groupon provides excellent deals, fantastic for customers, but for businesses they almost get nothing, might as well consider it a free sample because after giving a 50% discount to the customer groupon takes another 25% of what is left over and the business keeps 25% or in some cases less if their discount was greater than 50% to start with.
I however have found out of this world deals on this website and will continue to use it as a consumer. I do try my best though to re-visit businesses I liked without groupons just to support the concept of groupon, you know, the whole point, getting to try new things without paying full price and if you like it, revisiting the business.
I try my best to support small business when I can.
First off they sent me the wrong item how?. I think don't know so I talked to the supervisor that he stated I'm so sorry but I have to shipped the wrong item back and then wait seven days to to get a refund then I asked what if the item sold out oh you will have to wait til we get it again sorry
Don't bother purchasing the 'Mystery Product'. I thought I'd give it a try and paid $10 plus shipping ($4.00). Yesterday I got this great Mystery Gift - a bottle of Paul Mitchell Conditioner for coarse/colored hair - neither of which I have. I found the same bottle at Walmart for $12.47 - IF I wanted it, which I don't. I gave it a try and was very disappointed.
Its a mediocre site offering some good deals to restaurants ect but we found that most of the restaurants you would not go back to. We tried to lodge a complaint about one restaurant which groupon failed to deal with, as such we are very hesitant to deal with them. There are better companies offering better deals.
Wouldnt recommend. They do cut slack on clothing and accessories, but their service is horrible. They say 14 days return, but read the fine print its from the day they ship. So by the time it gets to you, 10 days passed..
Groupon used to be very a good website to get good deals and I have a been a very long term customer, but now they have changed their policies etc. it seems they are not able to handle the load with so many vendors and offers on their website.
The deals do not have all restrictions mentioned from their vendors and if their vendors don't honor the deals, also Groupon is no longer offering refunds or even groupon bucks back in these scenarios.
Seems they are on the brink of bankruptcy and they want to loot the most money they can by hook or crook.
I spend WAY too much money on this site! I check groupon before doing anything! It makes for fun date nights, just hop on and click. Twice I have had to return items and it couldn't be easier. Great service, great company.
Have used Groupon without any issues over the years HOWEVER my latest experience was an unmitigated disaster, the agents really could not care less. I attempted to purchase vehicle breakdown cover of the groupon site, however the voucher was not accepted by the merchant. After a long chat to someone overseas i was offered a refund and told to try again the next day! The whole fiasco was repeated the following day without any explanation offered. Bye Groupon, anothe lost customer.
Do not do business with this company! I was charged twice for a purchase and when I tried to speak with customer service on live chat they refused to refund my money or resolve the issue at all and the agent was very rude and ended the chat. I made 3 more attempts to contact customer service on live chat only to be treated very rudely and cut off each time. I am out 100.00 This company is a SCAM! STAY AWAY!
Great way to try out local venues at a discount. Several done; t work out but I'm happy that I paid a discounted rate for trying.
My only issue is the pile of Groupons that I purchased and never used My fault and not the company-I've learned to buy more prudently.
I've only had an issue with 2-3 of the deals I purchased; that was vendor related and not Groupon's fault. I received a credit for those purchases (vendor could not fulfill the deal or didn't answer the phone). Would have been nice to receive a regular cash/credit card refund but was happy to have a Groupon credit that I easily used quickly
Would not buy it, too many restrictions. Not very helpful either if you have an issue. Had some issues with purchased items. No refunds or help from the company. They are very apologetic that they are not helpful though. Does that really help?
I ve made a purchase from the Belgian branch of Groupon ( a toy for my nephew). As it was not delivered, I called the customer service. I was told that I had to wait 21 working days. After waiting and still not getting delivered, I called them again. This time, I was told that the legal delay for getting a refund (2 weeks in belgiumP) had expired. Now they are not even answering me emails. Groupon stole approx. 100 USD from me. I intend to sue them..
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.
