“Communication : Not able to contact no one by a phone number given 877-788-7858 told to go on Groupon and chat. I ordered 3 bamboo cutting boards ordered 1 and when I was told I couldnt order the other 2. To bad i was told nothing they could do after 3 days. ( Spoke to manager and now they said they will give me a credit) I also ordered 2 x a Cargo mat. It was sent TAN not Black first time they gave me credit less the 10 credit I was told to reorder and they charged me full price. I was told they could not issue me another credit.”

“made a reservation for 1 night, groupon charged me for 2 reservations, when i contacted customer suport live chat where I spoke with Vinod K., who not only told me that he really didnt have to fix the problem but also argued with me even tho I have proof this was a error on groupon's behalf, I will never in life use groupon for anything else & by the way, why the hell do you have a live chat if no one can actually help & all they do is put you on hold & transfer you from person to person who cant really help. Real life crooks who take pleasure in stealing peoples money.”

“I purchased a Groupon for BJ's a few months ago. I went to redeem it at BJ's, and they said they applied it to my membership. They did not my membership expired this month. I emailed Groupon customer service they said they showed it redeemed. The problem is Groupon dose not have a live customer service phone number, and you can't communicate with them using a phone like most other companies. They claim they have a live chat but it's nowhere to be found on their web site. This is the WORST customer support ever.”

“Bought a three pack of leggings from there that never turned up, contacted their customer service team who told me to wait as the items had been shipped, so I waited, then contacted again to get the same message and again and again. Asked for a refund, they refused. Asked to speak to a supervisor, apparently the supervisors do not own phones. Ridiculous, So now i've lost out on money which I wont get back despite it being consumer law. Rung their office number and the office is always closed. AVOID this company its absolutely disgusting the way they treat customers. I should have realised sooner as i's ordered two other items from there, one was a white duvet set which was so so thin and when it arrived it smelt bad and had dark marks on it, the other a pair of earrings one of which is faulty and the back doesnt close. So the warning signs were there. My advice: Avoid groupon and stay safe while shopping online.”

“I spent money on arborvitae trees that never arrived. I contacted customer service several times and all they ever do is tell you to call them back or email in a few days because they have ZERO information. I waited and waited only to hear they items are in transit and they have no information. The rep said maybe they sold out. They don’t know anything. An extremely frustrating experience and tied up my money. Really disgusted with the customer service and lack of information. Also it was my burden to keep checking back. What a joke. Never received items”

“After purchasing the lunch buffet at Bukhara , Indian fine foods , I felt compelled to write a review. To begin with I should come t on the other reviews which are approx 50 percent good and bad. I should have taken notice of the bad reviews as there is always an element of truth to a bad review. On entering at 12.30 there was only one other customer. The waiter was too busy on the phone to welcome us let alone seat us. The buff3t was not even remotely close to any pictures on website and was limited to 2 non vegan and three vegan choices all of which tasted similar . Old rice that has not even been warmed was disgusting. Bad food , bad service and hopeless buffet choices made for a bad experience . I expected much more. No recommendation from me.”

“Item not delivered on time. Tracking option shows still being processed yet online chat says will be delivered tomorrow. Should have been delivered Monday then they changed the date to today, now tomorrow. Customer service is not in this country and they simply read generic answers from their screen. Never again”

“Disgusting company with no values. I purchased a KARCHER 4K pressure washer. There was no reference to it being a REFERBISHED ITEM. I have screen shots to prove it. £122 36% off compared with Argos it said!! I paid through PayPal and of course PayPal provide the address for the seller. Days later I wondered why it had not arrived so I checked the tracking which advised that parcel force didn’t have enough of the address to deliver the item. Groupon had missed off the first 2 lines of the address! I took a look at My Orders on the groupon page and noticed that REFERBISHED had been added to the details on my order. Both the screen shot of the original advert and my invoice emailed by groupon made no reference to the item as REFERBISHED!!! I imidiatly contacted PayPal to report a claim and contacted Parcelforce and instructed them to return the item to the sender. I also contacted Groupon with my findings and complaints! PayPal have been amazing, Parcelforce did as instructed and Groupon couldn’t be bothered to respond however they did change the advert adding REFERBISHED to the item! Groupon did finally email 2 days later offering Groupon credit £122!!!!!!!! Why would I accept that as under distant selling your entitled to a full refund provided you notify the seller within 14 days. I received a second email advising my request had been passed to payments team but no apologies for the deceitful underhand and downright illegal behaviour from Groupon! Pay Pal have closed the case in My favour and are issuing a full refund. I WILL NEVER USE GROUPON AND WOULD URGE NO ONE ELSE! If I could have I would have given ZERO star rating!”

“Groupon is a disgusting company. We purchased a voucher and the merchant was unable to vlidate it therefore advised that Groupon will be refundig. The amount in question here is £275. We've been calling them weekly for months now and they keep making excuses of 'we had your incorrect account details' or 'the money is still pending ' or ' it should be going in in a few days'. It's been months now . Will be taking legal action because this is appalling and will never buy from Groupon again. My friends and family have headed our advice and not purchased anything since.”

“Absolutely dreadful company, bought a voucher for my birthday at a spa that me and my boyfriend were travelling to. I booked the spa and it was cancelled last minute. Tried to ask groupon for my money back or to change this to a spa thats closer to us. And they said this isnt possible. So upset that my birthday spa weekend was ruined and groupon refuse to exchange money back for this or help change the location. Waste of money. Would not recommend wasting your time or money with their vouchers.”

“If I could give Groupon UK 5 negative stars I would. I purchased and non refundable hotel reservation with them for 4 days. I had to cancel my hotel stay due to a death in the family. I even offered to show them Proof as well and they still refused to cancel it. I honestly wouldn’t never book anything with them again”

“I never received a mattress ordered. I did a Paypal Resolution and they never responded to Paypal. They emailed me saying they will refund me if the Paypal Resolution is closed. It ran the 28 days and closed. I asked Groupon to honour their pledge. Tonight I got and e mail starting with this statement "We never got the mattress returned to us" and offered tokens for the £259 pounds. They are a bit suspect in their logic and general morality. Paypal don't come out of this well either. The irony is that this was ordered on a "Pay on Delivery basis. Steer well clear of this company!!!”
