Products are okay, however they will not ship in the timeframe that is stated in the fine print. I ordered somthing a month ago and still haven't recived it and they said it would take 7 days. The best part it that im leaving the country so not I won't even get it, great jobs groupon.
I purchased vouchers. Then found out that couldn't be used in my area. Groupon didn't refund stating that the vendor would contact me. Vendor didn't, nothing has happened and Groupon still has my money.
I got on groupon to order
Island Time Sailing. Groupon took the money right out of my account. Then canceled the order because they said it was to be refunded. That was 7 days ago. I still have not gotten the money back and they continue blaming everyone else for the reason why I don't have my money. They blame the merchant, and not they are blaming my bank. They are the worst people to deal with. The customer service tells you one thing and then another customer service tells you another thing. Really people. They are a joke. I will never deal with this group anymore and I will tell everyone I know about all this that Groupon is putting me through.Don't use them. If you want to buy something go to the merchant first. I wished I did.
I was offered a 5 dollar off coupon "as a deal" they did not say they would charge me 26.99 to use it they just deducted it from my sccount. Paypal would not dispute it as unauthorized. I tried to cancel it 20 minutes after I ordered it
Ordered a mattres topper that was £65, originally £150, bargain i thought! Told it would take 2 weeks to deliver, 2 months later I've still not received it, I email groupon twice, no reply, but did receive an email asking what i thought of there customer service!
Eventually got the company that was supplying the mattres's telephone number, rang 5 times, each time told someone would ring me back, no one did! The sixth time I said my piece and spoke to someone, told they didnt have enough mattress for the amount they had sold on groupon and there would be wait, also they didnt have my correct address as the website where you redeem the voucher groupon gives you, as it wasnt working properly and not taking the full addresses.
Ive since rang up and asked for a refund, which im told will take 10 - 14 days to confirm ive not recived the mattress, and another 4 days to go back in to my account... im still waiting...
Avoid, Avoid and avoid!
Hi,
I have the most awful experience on the groupon site. They sell groupons that are not redeemable and when you contact the customer service they suggest " you can gift the groupon to a family or friend" (read gift the pain of redeeming a groupon to a loved one). The worst customer service ever. I do hope they go out of business soon so that customer do not get cheated out of hard earned money.
I purchased a voucher through Groupon and was unable to get the website that Groupon was endorsing to work. I contacted customer support to cancel my purchase of this voucher and was told that "while this was within the time frame to cancel, there was fine print that this was a final sale." I purchased this voucher less than an hour prior to contacting customer support and they still did not honor my request to cancel the voucher. Terrible service for both Groupon and Printer Pix.
I've been a customer for over 10 years. I recently purchased a Groupon for cozy maids housecleaning. Never could get ahold of anyone to make appointment. Groupon claims it's been redeemed on 2 different occasions which never happened and I'm out close to $100. They won't do anything until i show them it's never been redeemed, which is impossible because the phone number for Homeaglow (Cozy Maids) doesn't work and they haven't responded to 3 emails I've sent. Stay away
Made a purchase 3 weeks ago. Still waiting. When i contacted via chat on the site was told there was a issue with the courier and i would need to contact them direct. Groupon accepting no responsibiity for delivery yet happy to take my money and depsatch vie their courier company. They refuse to contact the courer. When i requested a refund answer was told can't do that as item despatched. The chat operator was extremely rude. Would ever use them again
Pretty much any issue you can name I have had and NEVER does anyone at Groupon do anything to assist or prevent you from getting completely taken advantage of by ridiculous sellers.
My orders disappeared, were canceled w/o notice, I was bait and switched, items arrived with unintelligible instructions and labels, not able to return incorrect orders - you name it and it has happened.
I purchased a set of wireless headphones which didn't work properly. You would think it would be easy to do an exchange, not exactly. After a drawn out process, I got an exchange started. What I DIDNT notice in the small print, is your not actually doing an exchange, you are returning your product in exchange to get a new product, with the small print saying that if the new product is also defective, you will ONLY get a credit towards groupon, you will NOT get your money back. So needless to say, the 2nd pair of headphones didn't hold a charge, had ear wax on them, music already stored on them, and the charging cable looked like a dog chewed it up... absolutely disgusting! I will never order Groupon again, they do NOT stand behind their products.
Be carefull, they will double bill you for one transaction. In the background, it will tell 'oups, we had trouble processing your request'. Try again. So you do, then you get double billed on credit card. Try getting support and they are completely unwilling to help. Hello WagJag and JuzDeals... you know get my business
The services are awful, phones numbers dont work, half the time they will charge you an additional fee just to make appointments and then not have appointments available for months out. And they will never ever give you a refund unless you ask for it IMMEDIATELY after purchasing. I cannot believe how much money I allowed myself to waste on this site and its my mission to get this website shut down for bad business practices
Groupon has many different offerings from which to choose. Your treasures may be in travel, food or even a beauty make over. Groupon can be used for local treasures or those treasures that you may want to find during your travels! Thank you Groupon!
Sometimes Groupon can be limited on the things that it offers which does need improving. Eddie Arnold / EDDIE'S HOME THINGS
This company has a great idea with horrible I would even go as far to say unethical practices! I received my purchased items all except 3. All items were shipped in the same box. The box and contents were perfectly in tact. The packing tap was not disturbed at all and all products within the box were pleasantly packed. So the issue must be that the items were never packed in the first place. I told this to ideeli, but they disregarded the facts and took no reaponsiblity. They disregarded all the facts and pinned the mistake on UPS! So UPS took the blame and eats the cost of ideeli's problems. Ideeli gets off Scott free with out a hitch.
I was trying to purchase a groupon for a getaway on a friday afternoon, but the groupon app would not actually let me purchase the groupon on the dates it said were available... their customer service doesn't have any weekend hours, so they did not help (even though the site says they will get back to you within 24 hours), but groupons can expire over a weekend, so if you have a problem with a groupon on the weekend, don't even bother... you will most likely miss out on the deal
They owe me a credit from a past order and I have 2 orders I placed on Nov 30th that I have not received. I keep getting emails saying sorry for the confusion. What is going on with this company? Customer service says weekdays only when you look up chat on weekends and weekends only when you look up chat on weekdays.
I was told that Groupon could not accommodate my request for a refund "due to current circumstances, which have limited our resources". I replied that "due to current circumstances, I am unable to use my Groupon". I think it's hypocritical that Groupon would use Covid as an excuse for not issuing a refund but Covid is not a good enough reason for me to not be able to use the Groupon. It appears that Groupon's position is that I should have gone to the restaurant and hacked Covid all over the place.
I purchased a Groupon for the Bliss Nail Salon for my daughter. I did not know it was not the luxury chain BLISS Spas, but a tiny unknown nail place on the second floor of a bldg on Lexington Ave, NY. I asked for my money back. After much discussion I received Groupon bucks but not for the entire cost. I lost the $10 promotion dollars that I used to purchase this awful Groupon!) So not nice. The representative ended the discussion with "sorry there's nothing we can do".
I saw a Groupon for a local Pilates studio. I had been in several car accidents over several years, and though NOT physically injured at present, I am inflexible with little muscle tone. I took advantage of their "Ask a Question" and stated my physical condition, and asked if I would be able to take their class. The studio said "Yes, take a beginners class". I looked at their schedule and they had a morning class. When it came time to redeem the Groupon, the last day before expiring, I went to sign up and saw that they no longer have that class. I contacted Groupon and explained that what I bought is not offered any longer. They responded the next day- "sorry, your Groupon expired" (It didn't when I sent the email!) Also, "we see that they have an Open Class". They totally disregarded that I bought the Groupon based on a day time beginners class that is no longer offered. So, Groupon got paid, the pilates studio got paid, I got screwed.
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.
