Groupon

This was a scam. I didn't save anything at all. Paid full price just gave 1/2 to Groupon for no reason and 1/2 to the merchant who actually did the work. Would not recommend and tried getting some type of refund from Groupon and of course not. What a joke!

Anyone considering groupon should read these two articles that were written up by sitejabber

Then make the decision for yourself being fully informed of what you are getting. I got a decent deal for myself, but I have a friend who just got screwed over by groupon.

For the most part, Groupon is good at providing a variety of deals, and keeping them valid.

However, I have encountered several times where they mark my deal as redeemed when I haven't redeemed or gone to the business yet. Groupon has a problem of issuing duplicate numbers, so 2 or more people may have the same voucher number.

So when 1 person goes to redeem their, everyone else's voucher that has the same number is marked as "redeemed". And when you try to fight with Groupon about it, they just say it's marked as redeemed.

My credit card company refunds me about 90% of the time when this happens. Lesson: Groupon needs better record keeping.

My first time using Groupon there was an amazing deal on teeth whitening. I tried to pay with my Health Savings debit card, but I guess it could not be processed. I was pretty upset about missing out on the deal a few days later, but the folks at Groupon pulled some strings and got me the coupon despite being past the deadline. They seem like the kind of company who will really work hard to make things right with the customer and I will certainly stick with them!

Purchased four items from this site. Found out that each item comes from different companies that they partnered up with. Two out of four got shipped and arrived on a timely manner. The other two have horrible tracking information and both items look like they have not even been processed since Dec. 2 when I did purchase the items. When I called to talk to somebody from Groupon.com I was on hold for 11 minutes and was disconnected. I tried recalling again and est. Time was 27 min. No Thank You! Never buying from this company again! Feel like this site can scam anyone and after reading the reviews. A lot of them are negative! Beware!

Bought a deal Friday for Ian's Oven, a restaurant we've been to many times(food is good). Owner of restaurant, John, refuses to honor the coupon saying it's the wrong one. Wants us to buy other exact same deal from other site. We say no way. Husband contacts Groupon today for a refund or a credit since owner of restaurant refused to honor their coupon. Groupon says tough luck, all sales final. So we are stuck with a worthless deal that we paid $15 for and we had to pay our meal bill to boot.
Not at all happy and don't care to ever use groupon again or go to Ian's Oven(unless they get a new owner).

I was a Groupon merchant years ago and everything was great. I just went back to a salon after the pandemic wanting to rebuild my clientele and Groupon has been stealing from me! They've been collecting money from my sales, taking their 50% and then helping themselves to more! 1 2 week pay period they took their 50 plus an extra $115.00. I'm a very small business and they are getting away with ripping people off! I call and email but the out of country customer support just ignores, deletes and shoes you away.
There needs to be a stop to this!

Groupon is a horrible company. The customer support services are dismissive and rude. They are not willing to help at all and don't care about people circumstances. I will no longer be using there services.

I have ordered a couple of times from ideel. While I've been satisfied with the quality of products sold, their delivery estimates are way off. I've been waiting for a package that I ordered 3 weeks ago. Contacted customer service and they were nice to send me an updated tracking number according to which the package left their company 2 weeks later than the shipping confirmation email was sent. In all honesty, I didn't expect a quick delivery, but 3+ weeks to receive an order is ridiculous, considering they ship from the US.

I have purchased from here a few times and that last 2 times have been horrible. First of all CHECK THE PRICE AT CHECK OUT. I went to but something for $14.99 and when I got to checkout it was $54.99. Its a joke. Also check its in Canadian or American dollars.
Next, 2 things I purchased I never received. Trying to contact this company is a nightmare. No phone number so you have to send an email and hope they get back to you.It might be easier to give up and save the stress.
If you need to return something then don't. Again another nightmare.
I will never buy from this company again.
