“Increasing number of non/failed deliveries, and on the rare occasions an item arrives, it is very wide of the delivery window time. Customer service poor, always scripted, and always offers credit. Have to push for monies refund every time. Stock customer service reply, 'we will ensure that this does not happen again'.....how many time have I now heard that one!”

“1 star is one too many. Stay clear of this company if you want a reliable service you can trust. Bombarded with adverts from all types of media selling a product which proved to be considerably higher than that advertised. Even complaining to head guy groupon not bothered and offer continued. Simply don't care”

“I went to Groupon to purchase tickets for Universal studios because they had a sale. When I went on and tried to purchase the tickets it failed, so I tried 2 more times. But after that, the tickets were confirmed and I was charged 3 times. When I went to the virtual chat none of the workers would help resolve my issue they kept telling me this "I'm sorry for any trouble here. The Fine Print for this deal indicates that it's Final Sale. This is a condition that was set by the business when they agreed to feature the deal with us. So I'm unfortunately unable to process any refunds for this vouchers." I kept trying to explain to them that there was an error with THEIR SYSTEM but they would still refuse to solve the issue. I tried to call but NO ONE would pick up. I am NEVER using Groupon again this was a terrible experience”

“Twice I have used Groupon. Twice they have messed up. First was a school bag I ordered for my son and they sent completely the wrong one. This time a portable potty, they offered 2 colours, and sent the wrong one. I won't bother ordering from them ever again.”

“I am a long time customer, with sound financial information intact. I cannot use promo codes. It is not clear if the problem is multiple email addresses or the need to update my password. Regardless, I could not get into my account information to update. When I attempted to set up a "chat", no matter what the time, no one was available. This was particularly frustrating since the promos were for a limited time.”

“I had purchased tickets for a concert and had them gifted to my flashseats account email address, however the tickets never came across. After hours of trying to find a phone number for groupon on the mobile app, I finally googled the # and all it says is to go on the website and email them or request a live chat session, however you cannot get to the live chat on your mobile app. Once I got onto my computer and started a live chat the representative wasn't helpful at all, made me call the vendor of the event I bought tickets for, and they couldn't find it either. All because groupon did not send it as a gift like I had requested on check out, and sent it to the email on my groupon account.”

“The worst website to find deals! I just had and issue in which after all I didn’t get anything but an apology because they can’t do anything... it's a scam and a lie. They tell you that your a saving by purchasing with them and when you go to real website you see that you are paying exactly the same. Besides they don’t have a good customer service, they don’t have a phone line where you can actually complain or request about something... they take about two days to answer about any question or complaints but a the end they don’t help you. So please don’t waste your time purchasing in Groupon.”

“Signed up to groupon Marketplace in April and they told me that they were a photography ban for 3 months and will be lifted in July. I called on Monday last week to a guy called William who told me to call on the 2nd July and told me that he is very sure that this was going to be lifted because they only have a ban for 3 months. I called today and they now told me that the ban is still there and will be lifted in November and i should wait until November to get on the list. I asked for a manager to discuss this and they blatantly refused to put me through to one telling me that there is no point All I want to do is to promote my business and offer good promotions to the potential customers in Ashton under-Lyne. Waiting 6 months to be added on a list is terrible when there isnt much competition in Ashton Under-Lyne.”

“I have been using Groupon for years and have been happy because of immediate issue resolutions and fantastic customer support. This is no longer true. They deserve a 0 rating as dealing with them is now a several hour odyssey that will bring you no satisfaction. No more phone support, rude and unhelpful staff that will text you via live help if you get lucky and anyone is available. Nightmare! Never again”

“Avoid Groupon like the plague. I have ordered a shoe cabinet, which arrived broken. I have contacted them for a refund, and provided a photo of the damaged contents. They said I would need to take it back to a Parcel force centre and post it back. Now, this package is extremely heavy and has a two man lift sign on it. I don't own a car so can't possibly take this anywhere, and they refuse to collect it or refund me. So I am stuck with this useless item, and I am going to have to pay the council to bulk collect it! Utterly outrageous.”

“Ordered something that was supposed to take 7 days to arrive. 3 weeks later and still nothing. When we looked at the tracking it said it had been delivered and signed for by someone completely different. Clearly it wasn’t us and we hadn’t received it. Spoke to groupon and they said it must be that they’ve given the courier the wrong tracking information. No apology though! Offered us our money back in groupon credit but we refused and they finally agreed to give us our money back into our bank. Clearly realised they had messed up! Will not order anything from groupon again.”

“Never again. The worst thing is that there is NO telephone customer service. WHO do you call for help? I spent hours trying to get help in the chat and after a long, long conversation I got no where. I did not get the info I wanted. : ( If a big corp like Amazon has real people for customer service than Groupon should have a decent costomer service. I think for Groupon, it should be a half star. VERY, VERY POOR”

“We spent £600 on garden furniture, we brought a sofa set that came with a table. They sent us two tables and half the sofa. We rang many of times and they didn’t do anything about it. We rang again today and the women put us on hold for 20 mins so we would get bored and hang up. There’s no option to return unless going through them, but they won’t talk to us. We’re down £600 and have furniture we can’t assemble, the other item hasn’t even turned up and it’s been 3 weeks. I’m so upset I could cry, I don’t even care about the furniture but just the thought of loosing £600. Worst company ever, do not buy from.”

“I ordered a rattan outdoor sofa. It arrived with 2 left arms. I have been contacting groupon via their online and telephone support service but no one is taking ownership of my problem and it is now over 10 days later and I do not know what is actually happening!! This is my first and last time of using groupon!!”

“Not all bad, but certainly naive!!! DONT PURCHASE ANY THIRD PARTY VOUCHERS!!! Disgusted that Groupon don't review the things the sell. I just paid over £500 to go to Dublin for two nights, at an average hotel, non refundable. :(”
