My rating is for the Ideeli that existed before being bought by Groupon. Ideeli used to be the site that I would purchase from at least twice a week. They were affordable, had ridiculous sales and a really good inventory. Then one day in 2014 they sent an email about being bought by Groupon which I thought was horrendous because I always used to laugh at Groupon and their horrific sales.
Eventually things got worse; they erased all of my favorites, changed their inventory and even changed their models so the outfits didn't even look good anymore. Prices went up by about $5-10 on average and they started charging an additional tax at check out. Now you have to go through Groupon.
This was not ideeli reaching out for help people, they were super successful. This was Groupon buying out what they saw as a competitor and getting them off the market. Which is why a previously fully functional website has now been relegated to just a section on the Groupon site.
They will eventually phase out the 'Designer' section on Groupon and Ideeli( I refuse to call it Ideel) as we know it, will cease to exist.
Well played Groupon, well played.
