Product I ordered was not delivered. Neither Wowcher or PayPal are helpful. They are useless. I can't afford to lose this money.

No customer service
October 29, 2020

I purchased a bed through Wowcher which…
I purchased a bed through Wowcher which was a pile of crap the company was called Durest Beds in Shrewsbury. I complained to Wowcher and was just told to get in contact with the supplier of the bed.
I did this and they don't want to know, the were very rude on the phone and in so many words said hard luck. The advert stated the mattress was going to be 26cm memory foam when in fact the memory foam is only 1inch thick. Wowcher say the vet everybody that advertises through them, well they didn't vet this company, they just take there commision and hope everything goes OK but when there's a problem your left to sort it yourself. I have got in touch with trading standards and reported Wowcher and Durest Beds.
I WOULD STRONLY RECOMMEND YOU STEER CLREAR OF BOTH THESE USELESS COMPANIES.

I am absolutely disgusted with Wowcher and their lack of service and how I was treated as a customer. I am still fighting them daily to refund my money as they run an unorganized business that could care less about the customer and only benefits them monetarily. I ordered a vacuum from wowcher and was sent an ab roller instead. You could imagine how annoyed I was to receive an ab roller (this is what they told me it was). I got an email from them saying they sent the wrong item and that it needed to be returned. I printed the label I was given and went to return it only to be told they could not take it with the code I was given. I then contacted wowcher and over the course of three emails and finally transferred to whats app was told I should have been sent a QR code. So they admitted to sending me the wrong label. I then had to take more time out of my day to go back and drop off the package with the QR code. I did this the second week of December so decided to check in weeks later as I had not received the vacuum I ordered.

I then have been in a four-week long battle with their customer service (loosely using this title and they lack any service) over refunding me for my order. They now not only have the wrong order they sent but they have not sent me my order or refunded my money. The CS agents are rude, sarcastic (I have whatsapp messages I can share) and just answer you over and over with the same replies which mean I get nowhere.

Wowcher is a poor third party service that has no real relationship with its vendors therefore leaves the customer vulnerable to vendors with poor service. There is no way to contact them except via whatsapp which is a poor way of providing support. Do not trust this company you may think you are getting a deal but eventually, you will end up like the rest of us who gets taken advantage of. They stole my money did not provide the product and should not be allowed to operate a business. Disgusting a company like this can exist.

Worst experience ever. Do not use wowcher.co.uk. I have received an experience voucher for my birthday, from a friend. Because I could not attend the experience and wowcher would not give you the money, I've agreed for the credit on my wowcher wallet, so I can redeem it against something else. I have created an account specifically for this. Fast forwards a couple of months, I have placed an order - had to use up the credit as wowcher would not give you the money back, only wowcher credit in your wallet. To me this was fair enough as this was a gif anyways. Placed in the order with the item no. *******, meant to arrive on the 12th of December, just in time for Christmas. It never did. Contacted wowcher. They told me to contact the merchandiser directly. Done so. They told me the order has been lost in transit and refunded me.
Mid January I have placed a second order with no. ******* Same story. Never arrived. Contacted the merchandiser, they told me same thing: Hermes said parcel is lost in transit. Asked for a refund. They said they will give me a full refund. Got an email from wowcher with the following: "We have arranged a credit refund of £2.73 for order number *******, item number *******. This has been added to your Wowcher Wallet and will expire on 12/05/2020. NB: This order included a NON-REFUNDABLE credit amount of £22.76 "
Emailed Wowcher and the merchandiser to enquire how that 22.76 quid are non refundable, no answer.
Disgusting service. Disgusting attitude. Seeing other reviews similar to mine, I can tell this is how they are making money, they just hope people will not make a fuss over small sums. It will not be the case with me. I will make sure to leave this review on every website their name appear and hoping in this way to warn other people from using them.

Poor service
February 17, 2022

I ordered a family photoshoot (Christmas gift) and asked for gift pack in Nov, didn't receive till middle Dec after chasing it on what's app and Facebook.

Packaged it up and my daughter was due to have her new baby in the new year. Checked dates ect. Anyway my daughter tried to redeem the gift code to find out expired... Bare in mind I never received a email with voucher or reminder to say it was to expire.

Anyway contacted their suppose customer service on WhatsApp /Facebook to be told the voucher expired end of Dec and to check my voucher. Informed them was a gift and no expiry date. They sent me a message stating it clearly states expire date. No refund.

Queried and pointed out where is expire date? Sent pics of vouchers etc.

He sent me a voucher that was supposedly emailed (deffinately didn't receive as was a gift) sent proof of my message vouchers etc and voucher pack... Guess what yeah had an expiry date from Oct to Dec 21 but also stated to be used by June 22. Queried the dates to n/r. Ignored my messages. Then had cheek to ask me for feedback... Bare in mind my case wasn't closed and never had a reply to my queries.

I replied feedback... You got to be kidding me my case isn't answered and not closed. Got a message back sorry I don't understand what is your feedback to our customer service from 0-unsatisfactory - 10 excellent. Replied back 0.

I did get my refund straight away after going through PayPal. And seconds after putting request in received refund.

Stay away from Wowcher. Unable to email or speak to anyone. Can only use Facebook or WhatsApp. Disgusting they Happy to take money but hard to get refund.
