Very poor customer service
April 26, 2024

I bought a voucher for helicopter flight, and flight was cancelled few times by merchant, but it did extend my vouchers expiry date. But when I try to book flight again, merchant no more accepts this voucher from this company. As many times I did write to living social about this problem, got no reply. No refund no nothing. Dont buy from this company, as you can be fooled, and only will loose your money.

CRIMINAL FRAUD
December 14, 2023

I've been trying to access my living social account and paid vouchers for a week. Every time I try to access app I see a stupid spacecat cartoon saying Groupon is unavailable. In my opinion this is criminal fraud and theft. Taking my money months ago for a $40 voucher and now wanting to refund $20. UNBELIEVABLE!

I ordered wireless hair curler 8 days ago
26 50.
Nothing. No tracking number or confirmation of purchase whatsoever.
Then yesterday they demanded a further £4.99, which I paid.
Still nothing
Accidentally typed in the wrong refund amount. 6 99 instead of 26 00.
Within 5 minutes PayPal sent the 6 99 refund from them.
Absolute crooks! Please stay away.

Living Social sucks
February 13, 2023

Living social is awful. When buying deals at restaurants you cannot use the deal, the voucher numbers are no good. Living social does not respond at all. Awful

Living Social send me emails everyday I unsubscribe but still they contact me daily. Until I want a refund for a service which I paid but the valid Wowcher was refused by vendor. Then they promise to contact me in 48 hours a month later and still no satisfaction. A WASTE OF MONEY.

Terrible company
January 10, 2023

I received 140e waller credit and am.unable to use it. Despite doing everything correctly I am 9 days in touch with their customer services team over email and WhatsApp. I've sent so many explanations and screenshots and every 24 /48 hours I get a new person sending me a generic list of steps on how to pay for a deal. Effectively I'm unable to use the credit which was a reimbursement of money I had spent but not used on a voucher so it's my own money.

A manager called Nigel Drake is in touch on email and even getting the same drivel from him. They're no doubt a complete farce of a company and I'm beyond shocked at how they treat customers. I've been using Living Social for years. I'll never spend another cent with them

Misleading advertising, poor customer service
January 4, 2023

I bought an electric blanket through Living social's site. On their site, they had a misleading picture of it being used as a throw blanket, however when it arrived I discovered that it was an underblanket for a bed, which is unsafe to use as a throw blanket. It was not described as an underblanket and there were no pictures showing it being used in this way. When i contacted their customer service, they heard my complaint and then declared the issue resolved without actually responding to or doing anything about my complaint. When I got in contact again they said that they would email the company who actually makes and sells them (who did not have a misleading picture, but instead a picture of the blanket folded up and not being used in any way). When that company replied and made the same point as above, I contacted Living social again who ignored my email. At the time of purchase they also charged me for a year of Living Social VIP, despite me not wanting or ordering it

Pure Scammers
January 2, 2023

Purchased a voucher, redeemed voucher for item, item was dispatched, then a week later just before it was sceduled to arrive I recieved an email that the item was no longer available and refund was made as credit on the site, valid for only 3 months. They would not refund to my Paypal account.
Shortly before 3 months were up I decided to use the credit. I purchased a clock, system indicated payment would be taken for credit balance and I had nothing to pay. However the full amount was taken from my paypal account ( watch out for small print when paying by Paypal that you are not signing up to a billing agreement where seller can charge your account without you signing off). I contacted their so called customer service who got back to me with "As the credit is not used on time it is expired now "
Complete waste of time and money

Deal Bucks Disappeared
December 1, 2022

In June 2022 I purchased a $95.20 voucher for Bethany at Rockbrook Village, then cancelled it couple days later when I learned it was too early to purchase again. My Stuff showed I had 3 entries of Deal Bucks including the $95.20, then all disappeared. After contacting Living Social 2 of the Deal Bucks reappeared but not the $95.20. I have given them the voucher number & all the info but they are ignoring the fact I should still have $95.20 credit. That is a lot of money for anyone to lose, especially a senior citizen. If this isn't resolved, I won't be using Living Social or Groupon again since they can't be trusted. Voucher VS-MB54-354Y-6492-XH37

Appalling customer service and quality
November 5, 2022

I recently bought 3 items from Living Social, which it turns out are part of Wowcher. All are disappointing including one item which is shown as floor length on photos of adults but is only knee length, and bleeds fluff, but despite emailing them and filling in their customer satisfaction survey (giving very low scores and explaining why) no one has replied to my email or contacted me. I now see the terms and conditions are that I can get a refund and buy other Living Social items with it - but I have no confidence in their quality or customer service.

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.
