Try to contact them to switch dates, but both phone numbers are disconnected, I tried getting my money back but my credit card company said that Groupon sent them proof that I redeemed my coupon for my dinner cruise which is a lie and against the law! First time using Groupon, and will be the last! I give them zero stars!

They may be good quality items but you will pay the price for them. Better to shop locally & find your own bargains at places like your nearby Walmart or even Fabric store which sells curtains off the rack far less expensive & better. Go to sites like WagJag & watch for better deals, they can be moved to your areas.

I bought two kids tablets from Groupon on 12/14/2016. I was told that the order would ship in 2 days and shipping would take 4-7 business days. It is now 12/29/2016 and I have nothing. I contacted Groupon three times and each time I was reassured that my products are still arriving on time. It actually took them 8 days to even process the order and they shipped it out only after I first enquired about my order. The customer service is terrible, as it does not answer any concerns and it is totally worthless. I will never use Groupon again as they lied to me on multiple occasions. I am still waiting on my product and will demand refund asap.

We are a business in south florida. I call into groupon and say I want to put my business on groupon after seeing a competitor on their site. The rep on the the phone tells me i can't run the same promotion, that i can't sell just one service, i have to offer more services, or packages of services. I said, "but i'm looking online now and my competitor doesn't have to do that." She proceeded to actually yell at me. "ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?" and proceeded to $#*! me out. So this is what our country and the younger generation has become? I have to tell you, I have worked for national companies my whole life and never have I seen such a poorly run company where sales reps yell at you. I guess as long as you don't have to talk to them, you'll probably do fine. Karma has a strange way of setting the Universe straight. I'm putting this company on the same level as Comcast

GO GO GROUPON!
May 18, 2016

When you want a GOOD deal... GO to GROUPON! They offer everything... sometimes even the kitchen sink. You never know what you are going to find... but I can assure you-you will find something delicious to eat at a discount, a form of excellent entertainment at a discount, and/or a Groupon Get-away with a discount! Not to mention all the Spa & Relaxation and Salon Service offers they make available to everyone in wherever YOUR area is... I promise!
I must mention also that GROUPON always stands behind their purchases. They have excellent customer service... which is very prompt and polite. You will feel taken care of, that is why you will keep coming back.
Good Times=GROUPON. Make plans and let everyone know about it-you will earn $$$ for your referrals. The good times go on and on...

AND. I forgot to mention... it cost ZERO $$$ to join.
What a great GROUP to be a part of.
Get your GROUP-ON Today. You will thank me, have fun! :)

Ordered some skirts from Groupon Goods on Jan 3rd. Now 21 days later and I still have not received my purchase. The products ship from Los Angeles and I live in San Diego. I can find no reason that it should take 21+ days to ship between those locations. If you read the fine print, their "normal shipping time" is 2 1/2 weeks, which is just ridiculous to begin with, but they can't even make it within that timeframe?!?! I will never be purchasing from this site again!

I really like Groupon
September 5, 2011

I really like Groupon. I've purchased about 4 Groupons total and thus far have redeemed two of them. Each time has been a great experience. My husband and I love to go explore our city so I keep an eye out for deals on museums, special events, etc. We can then try a new outing at half the cost to decide if we'd be willing to come back again at full price.

I have a friend who orders a ton on ideeli and is very satisfied with them. I'm been a member for a while but it took me a while to purchase something. Then I finally did and so far I'm very happy - all items but one fit and I was contemplating sending it back but then ended up altering it. I had 3 orders so far, still waiting on the last 2 items, but the rest is perfect! The shipping was exactly according to the guidelines posted for the item - all items were new, correct size and very good quality. Overall, I'm very happy with ideeli.com and will order again! Too bad my 1st row membership expired :(.

Ok
January 8, 2010

Ok. Does this website/company even stock any products? I see their ads ALL over google. They say they have 1 million members. Well YEAH, who wouldn't if you blanketed Google and Yahoo with ads for months and months. Fine. So I place an order and I get my package 2 weeks and 4 days later. Is this a joke? Wrong item. No customer service. No returns? Not even a store credit? I'm going to be diplomatic — so read between the lines: AVOID! As a side note, Ideeli says it's invite-only. Really? This seems like an oxy-moron.

Your review will help others learn about this website.

Sadly it appears that like so many other companies, Groupon's reputation (from personal experience) is now in the toilet as the result of poor decision making by upper management. Probably not the best idea to outsource their customer service to individuals who have no concept of U.S. customer service and who are unable to provide a response other than those listed on a "cue card". I'm guessing that the Groupon for Outsourcing wasn't such a great deal after all.

I've been using groupon for almost one year. My experience was ok, even if you always have to double check yourself what are you getting into in terms of purchases.
I've been banned from their website only because my bank stopped a payment for a service never received (since the ultimate company wanted to charge me extra on top of the price already paid and we did not found an agreement).

This is their costumer service.

Beware,
Thank god there are better companies for deals.

Groupon is the best thing ever. Great deals galore. Just got back from White Water Raftng at half the cost the others in our boat paid. Used many times, never a problem. Just make sure to read about each deal (expiration, when its valid, etc). Highly Recommend! Hundreds of cities worldwide! Visit http://tinyurl.com/groupon-com to sign up.

I purchased an e-gift card that was supposed to be delivered on Christmas Day. It's now the 28th. Still no confirmation email, and I can't even check my last order. Forget getting customer service. It is either a chat line or an email to which they will promptly "log your complaints in" and get nothing done. STAY AWAY!

Hi Tfxfxf,

Thank you for providing your feedback through SiteJabber. I'm really sorry to hear that your gift card wasn't sent out. If you didn't receive an order confirmation email, it's possible that the order never fully processed. As soon as an order is placed you're given an order number and the confirmation email is sent out. It does take a few days for a gift card to be emailed out once the order is placed and the confirmation email should provide an expected date when the gift card is expected to be emailed out to the email address given at checkout. Any orders placed are available when you lo into your ideeli account and go to "My Orders." If that information is not there, the order may not have been placed in that account.

Our customer service agents are available through email at support@ideeli.com and via Live Chat seven days a week by using this link: https://support.ideeli.com/app/chat/chat_launch. The agent who you work with through Live Chat or via email should be able to check into the issue and help to resolve it. If you haven't been given a resolution for this gift card order, please send me a private message with the email address your account is under and your order number, if you have one. Once I have this information I will be happy to look into this and help resolve your issue. I look forward to hearing from you if this has not been resolved.

Best,
Jason Faria

Absolutely love Groupon
November 6, 2016

I love using Groupon. It's very beneficial around the holidays when I am shopping for multiple people. They have discount specials from time to time as well, which makes purchasing groupons even more cost-effective.

It used to be good
September 12, 2016

Back when Groupon started I used to find some pretty interesting deals. Now you ha a lot of misguiding offers that end up making you pay what the product/service actual value, sometimes even more than you can find from other sources.

I must have bought 20+ Groupons in last year and saved at least a few hundred $s. I love that this site motivates me to try new stuff. I always buy more if the food is good or the experience was enjoyable.

Fake Saint Laurent
August 18, 2015

I received an invitation to a private warehouse sale and purchased a Saint Laurent bag. It was all kind of sketchy and I should have known but I was assured several times by the manager that the bags were all authentic. Turns out it's not when I had the bag authenticated they gave me a list of reasons the bag was a replica and now I feel stupid. I contacted the guy who put the entire sale together and of course all sales are final. Ideel has no integrity and they don't stand behind the products they sell just trying to steal money out of pockets.
