Long delays on shipping and receiving products won or bought. Bought gift cards end of November it is now the middle of December and I still have not received them. Also have been searching for a customer service phone number and have not found one to find out we're my items are.
Maybe Christmas isn't the best time to try Dealdash and I wasn't a savvy bidder, but I spent $36 and didn't winy anything. Waste of time and money.
Spent money on Items and they have yet to arrive. 45 days is a bit much
I am so angry with dealdash right now. Their customer service stinks! I have sent multiple emails only to get the same generic response on all, and to top it off, the response had nothing to do with what I was emailing them about. I have many gift cards that was to be delivered by 12/12/12 at the latest. Do I have them? NO! They are Christmas presents! They had a graphic at the top of the page, which has been removed since I (and I am sure others) complained about it, that said order today and have it by Christmas. I did order and item that I did not win and my expected delivery date is between December 28th - January 20th! Take my advice, and don't waste your time. You may win something but you won't get it!
I have won a few auctions. Had fun doing so. Dealdash is alittle slow in shipping items and items are sometimes out of stock but they do offer a replacement offer of bids or gift card.
I won an item November 16th, just got an email stating that my item is out of stock! So this site lets you bid of out of stock items, then offered me a $25.00 gift card or 193 bids to my account... I feel this is unfair and bad business. So my 60.00 bid pack gets me no won item nor a decent offer to make up for it... SMH
INCREDIBLY disappointed with this site. Was having "fun" winning items, however 2 items have arrived, 1 became no longer available and I was offered a replacement that wasn't even close to the value of what I should have received and the other 4 items were to have been received and have not been. 2 items were due to arrive by November 28th and 2 by Dec 5th. I have sent numerous emails to their customer service department with NO response. At this point, considering how much $$ I have invested in DD and the thought that these were to be gifts for others for Xmas and now the chances of me getting them in time doesn't look good, I have half a mind to contact my cc company and void the transactions considering I did not receive the items. STAY AWAY, SCAM, WASTE OF MONEY, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
There is nothing fair or honest about this site. I purchased bids won 7 items and guess what every item I purchased that was not a giftcard was out of stock. They offered to replace them with free bids of giftcards. I paid the site 30.00 outright for a tea set they said that was out of stock, kept my 30 and offered me a 15.00 gift card in exchange! Or I could get free bids to bid on more items they dont really have.
I won several gift cards and they said I would receive them by Nov. 27th, 2012. Haven't seen one card yet. I did the contact customer service and it took them 6 days to reply back. It said they was having trouble with the first supplier and working with another supplier now. But the same gift cards I won are still on the site to bid on. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureua. And filed a dispute with paypal to get my money back.
The auctions are just like any other penny auction - you HAVE to watch what you are paying for an item based on both the price of the item AND the cost of your bids. No problems with the auction itself, HUGE problems with the follow-through after you win or "buy it now". I have 3 gift cards I won/bought between Nov 14th and Nov 20th - mostly these are gifts. Dec 6th, I still sit without any of the items. Emailed support on Dec 4th - still no response... HOPEFULLY this will resolve in the next week so I can send my gifts off...
The GOOD: The actual process of bidding and winning or using Buy It Now is GOOD! It's called "entertainment shopping" for a reason. I enjoy the process, and win often enough to make it worth it for me. I like their bids rewards system too! It's good fun!
The BAD: When I originally joined in early Nov. I had a couple of problems. I got through by phone and had EXCELLENT customer service. Lately... the phone number no longer gets you through to a person and the e-mail system takes FOREVER! They say 48 hours for a response... try at least a week before you get a response, if you are lucky. The responses I finally get are polite, but not really helpful.
The UGLY: Long, long, long waits for items to come in the mail. I won things over a month ago that have NOT shown up. I have given up on getting things in time for Christmas. I hope they come eventually. There are many many complaints about this all over the internet.
The bottom line... from all my research I have learned that this company has grown exponentially over the past few month. This is NOT good. They grew too fast and can't keep up. Customer service has suffered, website stability has suffered, and shipping times have suffered. They really ruined their excellent reputation with a bad decision.
Very poor customer service. Can never get a response from emailing Customer Support despite the automatic reply stating they will respond within 48 hours. They do not have a phone number listed where you can call for assistance or questions. Shipping takes a long time. Still waiting on gift cards from 3weeks ago which should be the quickest to ship.
Please read all reviews on this sight... I never got the item I "won" and was offered a replacement at 1/3 the value. Still have not received the items I bought. This site is a rip off... terrible customer service... Hope someone can learn from my mistake.
Pretty cool penny auction site i like the way it is set up it has no bid sniper and you just can't jump in after 5.00 could be limits on bidbuddy but not sure would really have to think on that
DealDash is great! I have won numerous items less than a dollar. Very fair, offering you to pay for an item if do not win and get your bids back. They often have great prices on bid packs too. Fun! Fun!
I loved this auction site! True to their discription and they have excellent items to bid on. I have won several auctions and will continue to use this site for future items.
Waiting since 11/04/2012 for items, several items still pending several items now out of stock, don't understand out of stock, you posted the auction, I bid, I won I paid so I should get my item guess not on this site.
All are Christmas presents, and several past ship time that you post. Took from 11/24 to 12-03 to answer my e-mail and still didn't answer were are my giftcards
I have had a wonderful experience with this website. I was a little leary at first but I have had nothing but good experiences with this site and their customer service department. I have had a couple of issues but they were resolved quickly and in my interest, the customer. They really do value their customers and put the customer first. This is so hard to find these days. They were not just interested in their bottom line but in me as a customer and an individual. I was not just another number like so many companies tend to make me feel. I really appreciate seeing the old but good values of the past in DealDash.
Be forewarned... you may not actually get the item you pay for when selecting the 'But It Now' option.
I was bidding on an Apple iPod Touch, 5th gen in blue but did not win. Decided with the number of bids I had invested that I would use the 'Buy It Now' option to get the bids back, save on taxes and shipping. Well, well... to my surprise I received an Apple gift card in the mail (does not state this is an option anywhere on the website) for a NANO and stated the card stated the taxes were covered. Now, I was skeptical on how the taxes would be covered if the value was $399. They were not. I ordered the item I thought I purchased online and paid an extra $35 in taxes. I should have just done this from the get go and would have saved myself the aggravation and rise in blood pressure.
I have no intention of using this website again. An old-fashioned bait & switch tactic.
I have gotten some good deals, so to speak, but most of them I have not received. I am waiting since before Halloween to receive some items I "won" on the site. And now it is almost Christmas. I also got some Christmas gifts for my granddaughter and I'm afraid they won't be here in time.
Answer: Thats a hard question to answer, because it depends on the article, and its value. I will say I have won some great Articles, and lost many, maby more. The more valuable the article the harder to win. Personally, I gave up on Deal Dash due to the BID STOMPING and Jumpers and the gready nature of some bidders, who stockpile bids. Also, even though Deal Dash supposedly has means to catch Buddy Bidding, I myself have caught at least 4 people doing buddy bidding, reported it, and nothing was ever done about it. Finally I no longer play on Deal Dash, for the reasons I mentioned, but thats my choice. Its up to you, on what you want to do. Hope this helps.
Answer: Hi Beatriz, I want to start this conversation by inviting you to read our Audit Conducted by Ernst & Young: https://dealdash.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/dealdash_ey_audit.pdf Fair & Honest is a symbolic capture of DealDash's core values, and these certainly start and end with our commitment to being humanistic. I would love to show this to you, how can we help? Please let me know. Adrian Community Manager
Answer: Hi William. If you do not win an auction you will not automatically get the bids back to your account. You have the option to use the Buy it Now button. By using the Buy it Now option you will get the item for retail price and all bids back to your account that you used in the auction. Users who take advantage of this option usually have a better experience, since they both get the item they initially wanted, as well as retain all their bids. If you do not want to use Buy it Now you will unfortunately lose the bids. We recommend our users to bid on items they really want, so that if they lose the auction, they can still get the item and their bids back. Let me know if you have more questions!
Answer: Hi Julie, I hope you are having a wonderful day I'd be happy to explain how the Buy-It-Now option works. Each bid you place takes away one of your bids from your balance and increases the price of the auction by 1 penny, then resetting the clock to 10 seconds. It's in this small window that someone else must decide if they will place a bid to outbid you. If no new bids are placed and you are the final bidder in the auction, you win the auction at the final sales price. If you do not win the auction, you will see the Buy It Now button. By using the Buy it now option, you will get the item for retail price and all the bids you used in that auction will be returned to your bid balance. Users who take advantage of this option usually have a better experience, since they get the item they initially wanted as well as retain all their bids.

Answer: Hi Elizaabeth, Thank you for getting in touch. We offer all of our customers a full money back guarantee for the first bid pack purchase. Our payments team can get in touch with you and issue a refund. Please send me a number we can call. My email is adrian@dealdash.com
Answer: Hi Patricia, Thank you for getting in touch. I am sure this has been a misunderstanding. DealDash is audited by Ernst & Young, confirming that all bids are placed by real customers and all items are delivered. DealDash members and their acquaintances are strictly banned from taking part in the auctions. My guess is that another user may have chosen a user name similar to DealDash. If so, we'll need to change it to avoid confusion. Please send me an email with your user name, so I can find the auctions and spot the user. My email is adrian@dealdash.com I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Adrian Community Manager
Answer: Hi Jan, For new users, I normally recommend watching our How it Works video for a brief overview of what to expect from the auctions: http://www.dealdash.com/how-does-it-work DealDash has a 100% money back guarantee on your first bid pack purchase and a winning guarantee. If you decide to give DealDash a try and don't win an auction with your first bid pack we'll return the bids back to your account free for a second chance. If you're still not satisfied with your DealDash shopping experience we'll be happy to refund your first bid pack purchase no questions asked. You can even keep any bids in your account or items you have won. Giving DealDash a try is risk free!
Answer: Hi Jasmine. All items on the site are brand new, factory sealed and come with standard manufacturer’s warranties. Vanessa, I am very sorry to hear you have felt that way. Could you please let me know your user name and I'll pull up your account? I'll be happy to assist with any concerns!
