LivingSocial UK

Don't bother. Items found more cheaply by shopping around. Postal charges push the price up even further. Delivery is a joke. Avoid.

Unable to stop Living Social from sending emails even after I blocked them. What don't they understand about "unsubscribe"

The following is a slightly altered (for clarity only) extract from the last of a long series of e-mails I have exchanged with Living Social re. A pair of flip flops I purchased 29 days ago through this group discount site from Beauty Fit (UK), which never arrived. I think it speaks for itself.

"In order for your fine print to accurately represent the T & C of our contract it should state:
"Please allow 14 days for delivery of the product from the date of redemption of the voucher. If however, your product is not delivered by the merchant within this period despite multiple attempts by you to resolve the problem directly with the merchant, the merchant not being contactable by telephone because it does not not answer it and does not accept voicemail and not replying to e-mails re. Refunds whilst also lying to you twice about the date of delivery and most, importantly, never sending the product, we will send you repeated fob off e-mails in reply to your complaint about the merchant we chose to represent. Then, if you persist in your complaint, we will eventually pay lip service to sorting the problem out with the merchant but then do nothing except send you factually incorrect, self justifying e-mails, explaining that it is not our problem that you are out of pocket owing to the at best shoddy business practices of our merchant. Finally, when we have decided that you are indeed something of a nuisance, we will offer you credit to purchase items on our website, rather than actually offer you a full refund including the additional shipment and delivery costs."

NEVER USE LIVING SOCIAL.

Once they have scammed you there's no way of contacting them, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING They take your money and shut up shop

I am writing from UAE, Dubai. I ordered philips home theatre system to my friends who is living in london. They sent me an order confirmeation e-mail. Ok it seems everything fine. But after order passed 18 days nobody has contacted me and didnt give a news or any info. So i wrote an e-mail to them 2 days ago. I didnt get any answer. After that i called them and i learned that MY ORDER HAS CANCELED WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE and PERMISSION. $#*! happens, i was waiting for the shipping news but they are telling me that order has canceled! And if i didnt call them im not going to learn my order is canceled. Ok so after that i tried to log in to my livingsocial account, and then i tried all passwords i used in whole my life but it didnt logged in. So i tried to reset my password and it says ''There was a problem sending your password reset link: invalid email''? THEY ALSO deleted my account without my permission. Haha i will not use this lame company again. They can contact me and send me an order confirmation mail but their excuse is 'we cannot contact with you about the shipping so we canceled your order'. They are the worst deal company i have ever seen. Groupon is much better than this.
