Sadly Groupon doesn't seem to perform any vetting of the companies it does business with. I had a voucher for 6 sessions of IPL hair removal. The first visit was supposed to be consultation and patch test, which was just wordlessly zapping a small area of my neck, it went downhill from there. I started to receive strange illiterate texts from the company's receptionist saying I had to drive to the other side of Glasgow due to floods? Anyway, after eventually finding out the new location I went to this odd semi-abandoned industrial estate where I had the first full session, not too bad, but not great either. The next visit was to their original premises to find the company was gone. It took 8 weeks to get my money back from Groupon. I thought - not Groupon's fault about the dodgy IPL company so still looked at goods purchases. The "savings" they quote have no basis in fact. The quality of goods, if they even arrive, is often very poor. I had some "Calvin Kline" lipsticks that were just cheap rubbish with CK stickers on them - not CK quality at all. A dress I ordered never turned up - though I did get a refund for that. Unfortunately you take rather a large risk with any Groupon purchase, not an experience worth the hassle.
