Dreadful
December 27, 2015

I ordered a Christmas gift from this site on November 26th and did not receive it for Christmas. They blame the company in the UK. They put me on hold when I phoned and then hung up the call. I strongly advise you to stay away from this site.

Selfie stick is junk!
December 26, 2015

I ordered a selfie stick for a Christmas gift, I could have bought one anywhere & paid less! My husband opened it Christmas morning & it didn't work after replacing the battery it turned on but the stick is so flimsy it will not hold up the phone verically. When I checked the LS website on returning defective products I found that I should have opened & tried it within 14 days or I cannot return anything! Most stores give you more time to return a Christmas gift & even more for a defective item this is ridiculous & I will not be ordering from them again.

Avoid at all costs
December 24, 2015

I ordered a Clinique set as a Christmas gift on 11th December. Never again! Not been delivered and when I emailed them they came back with a phone no. When you call they say they are experiencing a high volume of calls and that the wait time is up to 45 mins.

Just tried emailing a services email address they give out in their recorded phone message, but I don't hold out much hope of getting either my goods or the money back.

I'm going to stick with Wowcher in future - never had any problems with them!

ON Par with GRoupon
December 21, 2015

I like Living Social almost as much as Groupon but they are not as large as Groupon so they do not get as many deals. Their customer service is good and if you want to get your money back all you need to do is contact them and they will help you.

Not for Me
December 19, 2015

I didn't care for Living Socials promotions, they seemed to have to many restrictions and the discounts weren't that good.

Very unreliable
December 17, 2015

I ordered an item on this website a month ago. The date for delivery was by the 9th of December. Of course, it wasn't delivered. I tried to email them and ask what is happening with my order and the response I got was an automatic reply saying that I need to call them. I called but I couldn't get through to them obviously. The only way I was able to get to them was through PayPal, opening a dispute as I paid through PayPal. They told me it won't be delivered later than the 17th of December. I waited and of course nothing happened. I tried to cancel the order and get a refund but I was told to wait for the delivery, then return the item and then call customer service for a refund. Now I am waiting for PayPal to get through to them and get my refund.
They're awful! Stay away from them or if you do find something on their website that you really want to have, pay through PayPal to at least have a back-up plan if they fail you which I see it happens to a lot of people.

Livingsocial has the special with "Matt Danny" in Arcadia, CA. I purchased two vouchers and paid $17. When I went to Matt Danny to redeem the voucher, the owner insult me with "If you can not read, do not buy the voucher". So I went home without redeem the voucher. I called Livingsocial to get the refund, the customer service only refund $7. I will never deal with livingsocial again.

PLEASE, Stay away... I paid over $700.00 for my furniture to be damaged and taken... I called the next day to complain about the move and was told the manager do not talk to customers... They did not put all of my furniture in my storage and I did not find out until later... When I called the company to advise, I was told, "We have your furniture"... WHY was it there, was my question to them... Was told they have a warehouse full of furniture... Hmmmmmm! Customer service is awful and the owner does not want to take responsibility for there mistakes... The bottom line, please do not let this AD lead you into a nightmare... Also check them out on BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU... I wish I had!. SEEKING LEGAL ADVISE for damage and taken furniture...

Say yes to the Entertainment - no saying you have to break the bank to have fun. I get my music on as much as possible thanks to Living Social partnering with Music Venues to get some great concerts to the wallet conscious folks like me that just wanna dance and have a good time seeing some great artists!

Terrible
November 9, 2015

Having worked for Livingsocial and used their vouchers I can say, with confidence, they are a terrible company. Unrealistic expectations on their staff and the merchants are not interested.

From the business

LivingSocial is a leading "daily deal" site that sells discounted experiences and local services--restaurants, spa trips, home services, travel, etc.--via voucher. The consumer must pay for the voucher upfront, and the voucher generally must be used within a specified time period or it cannot be redeemed. To make these deals possible, LivingSocial sells merchants on its ability to help "find and keep more customers". LivingSocial is a private company based in Washington DC and its shareholders include Amazon.com.
