Second time I purchased vouchers I couldn't redeem. It seems (by reading other reviews) this is how they do business on a regular basis. And to avoid angry customers they made it impossible to contact their support service. All contact links direct you to FAQs and Order Details! How convenient! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING ON GROUPON!!!

I used groupon, and have had several problems with one transaction. 1) I spent $24 on a sam's club membership. When I could not complete the transaction after my credit account was charged I was not able to contact and talk to a person, 2) communications with company internet only and the time allowed to get point across is insufficient. 3) No cash refund just groupon credit. 4) groupon credit seems to have expired in lees than 1 month so in essences they company basically stole $24 off me.

Groupon is not an Amazon. I purchased a large parasol from them, but found it too top heavy for me to manage. I eventually found a return button, but got the message, 'this item was end of stock' (or something) and NOT RETURNABLE. Told me to read the fine print. The site is easy to buy from, but difficult to navigate otherwise. My advice is STAY CLEAR OF GROUPON, but if you must, then do find and read and understand the small print.

I posted A review earlier re trying to get a refund. I finally found the live chat in the purchase site. I got my refund within 5 minutes. I am delighted as the reviews re hotel package that we purchased were not good. Thank you Groupon

I booked four points by sheraton Niagara Falls Canada for Monday June 28th 2021. I want to cancel i today June 25t 2021. They say you can cancel within 48 hours and get a full refund. I just tried to cancel it 3 days in advance and they say I can only have groupon coupons!!! There is no Phone number to call. I will never do groupon again. I would like my refund in funds as promised. there is no live chat!! Only a circle to check!!!!

Absolute disgrace of a company. They sold me a non existant voucher, offered me my money back and then refused to respond to any of my emails once it became clear the money was never coming back to me. Avoid at all costs unless you want to lose money

Consumers beware. Groupon has a new scam to steal your money. My mom and I signed up for a rafting tour on the Yellowstone river on June 9. We drove seven hours to get to the address that Groupon provided. We didn’t see any signs for the rafting company, so I started walking around and asking nearby businesses if they knew where it was. Nobody knew what I was talking about. I checked the Groupon to look for a number to call, but nothing was provided. So, I googled the company (Wild West Rafting) directly and gave them a call. After I explained the situation they told me that I was not only at the wrong address, but I was in the wrong state altogether. They were over four hours away from the location that Groupon said. They were very apologetic and explained that they have been trying to get Groupon to fix this and that they would issue a refund on their end for the inconvenience. At first I thought that this was an honest mistake on Groupon’s end, but now I realize that this must be an intentional scam. After almost two weeks of me reaching out and providing screen shots of the incorrect address listed on the deal, they still refuse to give me my $130 back from the refund that Wild West Rafting has already provided. They just keep saying that the sale was final as listed in their terms. I told them that I understand the terms but don’t understand how I was supposed to use the deal when they directed me to the wrong state. Further evidence that this is an intentional scam is that Groupon has yet to fix the issue even though Wild West Rafting has brought this to their attention several times and I have been in contact with them for two weeks over the issue. I’m taking the time to share this story in hopes that Groupon will not be able to steal anybody else’s hard earned money. Please be careful. Order number: 1000-135900-252300

I ordered Royal Bliss sheets and they were delivered. I ordered again months later and when I didn't get them, I checked my order and realized I had to check "redeem." I did and still didn't receive them so checked again. It says I had to pick them up 3 hours away from my home & that it had expired. I am careful about reading fine print & it's no longer on the site for me to ck.They offered a $3 refund.

I paid for something by mistake, over a hundred dollars. Groupon keeps your money now, will not refund, tries to force you to get something else instead of giving you your money back. Poor people are trying to get a deal, and Groupon is taking their money. Sad.

You reviewed Groupon UK Add photo Dani 13 reviews 1 star: Bad Just now Avoid, company is run by crooks Awful service. I decided to try again and placed an order recently. The order never arrived, I have spoken to customers services in regards to the issues a few times in which I am told someone from their resolution team with be in touch but I am yet to hear back. Wish I had ordered somewhere else as this is now the second time I have been messed about Groupon. The first time was a little over 2 years ago in which I ordered 2 cases of lemonade, 1 case arrived. I spoke to customer service and was told they did have enough stock to send 2 which is strange they knew this straight away but no thought to inform and get a refund issued. I was then told they had stock of a different flavour and will send a case of that. Unfortunately this was a flavour I didn't like. After having the same conversation with their customer service team for almost 3 weeks that I didn't want a different item as I wanted the flavour I ordered or a refund eventually Groupon gave in and said they would issue my refund which then took a further month to arrive. I know their products are through other companies but it their reputation on line when they deal with these companies for customers. I surprised they are still running with the amount of times they mess up as a company. I think they should be looked in and they should find a way to run their business better for the customers who end up out of pocket because of their mistakes. I will never use Groupon again after and I advise anyone who doesn't want lose money do the same

The item I ordered was very disappointing. The socks to warm your feet were rubbish. Thin and useless. Not as described. Wouldn't fit my size 4.5 shoe sized feet.!!!! You can only return If you have a printer.....which I don't! Why isn't a return label with the goods? Answer is ...so you can't return stuff. Couldn't leave a review because the option did not appear. Never buy from Groupon again.

I review good when seller is good ,but in Groupon's case I have to give poor review, plants ordered via Groupon 8/5/21 ,it is now 17/5/21 and plants where alive but dried out ,it took 9 days to deliver, and plants where alot smaller than those shown,again it's put me off shopping with Groupon, I will praise the p&p being only £1.99. but that's only good thing I can mention.

Bought 4 Hawaii luaus. When I got them I printed off the page so I could have redemption codes but never opened the site/voucher. The luau is full for the dates we are going to be in Hawaii. Went to get my money back and unable. Tried to get help via a chat line. No help. She kept saying I redeemed but I have not. $400 down the drain. Called the Ka Moana people and they said I should be able to get money back. Very upsetting

It’s rare, at least for me, to have an experience with a vendor that makes the word “despicable” sound like a compliment. I can’t imagine a company could be more difficult to work with and more out of touch with basic principles customer service than Groupon. On March 17, 2021 I ordered and paid $49.99 for Cuban Presidential Selection of cigars. It’s now May and my order has not been delivered; yet I have made numerous attempts to find out why. They accepted my money and than told me the order couldn’t be processed until I entered a transaction code. I followed their link and the code did not exist. If the order was incomplete, why did they charge my credit card? Groupon has ignored my emails. This is one of two bad experiences I’ve had with Groupon

I am a long time account holder of GROUPON but hadn't made purchases for a while due to Covid. Even though I had a valid and open Groupon on my account and $100 credit, Groupon unilaterally CLOSED my account taking my $$$. When I went into my account, I wasn't recognized any more! After I contacted them they fixed it, but I think this is a money grab. How many people will just let it go because they don't want to deal with the administrative headache?

Purchased a voucher from Groupon and have had no acknowledgment. I have tried to access my account and, for some reason, it has stopped bringing up my icon to enable me to scroll down to which service I need. Have tried every avenue possible to contact them which is impossible. I can get access to companies which will access on my behalf for a charge. I am expected to give my card details to a company I don't know; no thank you. I will never buy another thing from this company with the worst company service I have ever dealt with.

I tried to contact them and they referred me to a refund service THAT CHARGES A FEE!!!! How does anyone with a conscience or a iota of decency work for this scam outfit???
