LivingSocial

Website is a scam. Do not us it. I ordered jumper for my son 60£. Had to pay separately for delivery 15£. Didn't received anything, and no refund. I'm still waiting for 3 weeks already.

Ordered some plants. Paid £16.97 via PayPal. Never arrived. A week later I got an email stating 'your account has been credited £7.99'. At no point did they tell me my order had been cancelled their end. And I'm left wondering what's going on and where is the rest of my money? Phone number isn't manned (just a recorded message about coronavirus- over 2 years on?…that old chestnut? Give me a break- other companies have been answering phones for well over a year), emails bounce back and contact via WhatsApp seems to be a long winded negotiation on how much of MY money I can get refunded and how long it will take. I will NEVER use these scammers again. No plants and still no refund of any of my money. Opening a dispute via PayPal. Buyer beware.

I just got a call from Visa Fraud Dept on the same card (it's not used for every day transactions either), saying that and online purchase was attempted this morning at Bed, Bath & Beyond & there's an approved pending amount of $1 on my account. Of course I will not know the full amount that charges until it hits my actual bank, then I can dispute it, and they will refund it, but still this is a hassle. I'm more than anything believing this is linked to when I bought the Amazon gift card from Living Social. I didn't have a good feeling about it, as I'd never heard of that company, but still did it. Now... the hassle. Ugh! Just letting you know... watch your bank statements in case the Fraud folks at your bank don't see it.

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!

My biggest issue is with the location parameters. In my area (which is by no means rural), I can only choose from maybe 3 or 4 general locations (one being a city about 30 minutes away that I don't want to look in).
Second, a lot of the activities are more of the same and nothing really jumps at me. I don't really care about restaurant discounts nor painting classes. However, there is some good stuff like things for kids and services that could come in handy so it's not totally useless. My boyfriend and I have a coupon for $25 off and we may never use it. The one thing that looked interesting we didn't do because the actual online reviews for the event were total crap (and mentioned LivingSocial by name).

I bought 2 comforter sets, 800 thread count from "King David Linens" via Living Social. One comforter was poorly sewn together and has been coming apart at the seams. Every week or so my son brings it to me to hand stitch another section back together. I called Living Social and they say no returns after 14 days! I asked if the manufacturer would stand behind their product... he said maybe. I've been calling King David's and no one will answer the phone nor return my phone call. I would not recommend buying merchandise from Liv Soc.

Item was ordered in wrong color. There's no way to switch order online or email Living Social. Only option is to call. After 3 days of trying and waiting 3+ hours on the phone, I was told I would have to wait til the item ships and then return it. How does that make sense if the item hasn't shipped yet I have no idea but item will be returned and we will close our account. Never had problems like this with Groupon so they will now receive all of my business.

Livingsocial does not even deserve one star! This company is a scam. The vendors they deal with do not honor the vouchers that consumers purchased! The vendors run the customers around with "no appointment time", "come back later", "call back later", or no replies... full B.Sh@t! Livingsocial is not of help at all when their vendors cheated. Instead, Livingsocial must be a part of that cheat scam too because now it turned off its phone line, and all complaints by emails got replied by a fake "Justin" customer service rep! FTC needs to take some action to stop this Livingsocial from cheating more vulnerable customers out there who could not afford high cost but ended up being cheated out their hard earned money too! This Livingsocial.com company deserves to go bankrupt!

Don't ever get involved with living social which is now owned by Groupon. Complete rip off cost my restaurant 2,500 in 3 months. They lied about everything and I'm glad there done. Had 4000 employees and then 5 years later had 200 sold to Groupon.
So please if you own a restaurant stay far away from these morons. If you want more customers just offer 10% off there bill and you will be way better off.

If you buy even one deal from living social, be prepared for 5 emails a day, most of which are junk or repeats from the previous day. They will not stop regardless of adjustments you make to your account settings. Worst of all, their customer service is another typical automated response, generic answers, and policy driven reactions to any questions or concerns customers may have. Good luck ever getting an actual response out of them. No wonder every single review site has them rated so low. If you don't treat your customers with some sort of respect, or you don't offer them any sort of intelligent help, do you honestly expect any review to be good?

They cancelled my tickets, without notifying me (the purchase was confirmed by them, and by the performance management) right after purchase! I learned at the theater with 2 little kids, at the ticket box! I had to buy full price ticket in the back, as the kids were so excited about the show. Called Living Social - no apology, said they reimbursed me, could not get a manager. The rep suggested to email - as I did, no response in 7 days. This is definitely the worst customer service I have encountered in a long time. It happened to most/all who bought the deal on and after Dec 9 2016. I would like to hear what LivingSocial team has to say, if they have customer care function at all.
