If you sign up for Amazon mom, their services are awesome. 2 day shipping for free? Also, the prices are like Costco, maybe you can find it cheaper somewhere else but for sure you are not overpaying.

I think that LivingSocial has pretty good deals. Somehow, I like it better than Groupon.

Some negatives are when I go to claim a LivingSocial coupon or Groupon, its really crowded or the merchant doesn't look so happy when I am there to use my voucher. I don't like the feeling of them not wanting to deliver the service with a pleasant smile. Truly, how can you really blame the business. Reading all the reviews, it seems apparent that the business loses out.

The other negative is that I always get buyer's remorse, every transaction, I wonder if it was a good buy. In any case, with the Groupons/LivingSocials, I feel like it's pressure buying. I've bought less LivingSocial coupons than Groupons but both I've had some expire and lost money on because I just couldn't use it in time, I couldn't make the drive over to where I bought the cupcakes from and I had to order 48 hours in advance.

I did find a website that I really like now called www.Stretche.com. It's all the good of Groupon/LivingSocial without the bad. No buyer's remorse because you don't need to buy, just "clip" a coupon for free.

Their return policy and customer service is truly awesome. The selection is great and to the point where there is too much to choose from.
Other than that, wouldn't consider buying shoes from any other online retailer.

I also had a very negative experience with Restaurant.com. I tried to use the gift certificate that I purchased and the restaurant said they would not honor it. The only reason I went there was because of the gift certificate. In any case, I called restaurant.com for a refund and they said they can only give credit towards another certificate. I checked their site and couldn't find a replacement. I told them it was not my fault that you have a restaurant on their site where they will not honor the certificate. They should take these restaurants off immediately. Yet instead, they further damage the reputation of the restaurant by continuing to sell certificates (so they can attract more buyers) for restaurants that no longer want to be on their site and make buyers more frustrated that they are stuck paying full price at a restaurant they may or may not have originally chosen to eat at. Also buyers get mad at the restaurant and post really bad reviews which conitinues to damage their reputation.

Anyways, I found a website that is up and coming where you can download a really good coupon for free. There is selection in the Los Angeles area but it seems like they are adding more everyday. www.stretche.com I want this website to continue growing as it seems like they are providing a really good service.
