“With all that's going on in America, visiting the Tarpon Springs Castle Winery August 12 was calming, unique and fun. My sister and I went to celebrate a milestone birthday for her. There was a young couple honoring an anniversary, who like my sister and me and everyone in the room left politics, frustrations, and the pandemic home for a good time, to relax and have fun with Giuseppe and Diana, the owners. It was an absolutely one of a kind experience. When Giuseppe welcomed my sister and me to the winery, the house where he and his wife live, I told him we were there to celebrate my sister's birthday. He promised to sing an old rendition of happy birthday, which he did and got everyone involved. He also told us, his guests, that his wife, Diana, recently had back surgery and wasn’t quite sure if she would be joining us. She did join us and her presence was wonderful. She and Giuseppe exchanged loving quips throughout the tasting and both poured us (their guests) a variety of wines. They explained how wine is made in Europe, mostly pure, and how it’s made in the states, with chemicals. They have artwork all around the tasting room and provided a history of many pieces. When the tasting was over, guests were buying cases of their wine, however, my sister and I were leaving early the next morning and there was no time to think about how to get the wine to us at home. Nonetheless, Giuseppe gave us a bottle of wine (our choice) and two wine glasses with the Castle Winery logo. My biggest fear is that one day I will break the wine glass, a memory of a lovely and outstanding experience. Castle Winery is simple, and in my view, extraordinary. May not be for everyone, but take a chance, visit, meet Giuseppe and Diana and taste for yourself.”

“My wife made an order for Nioxin on SATURDAY, June 21 for an item on Groupon and the item was repriced for $13 cheaper the following day. She made an effort to cancel the original order and was reminded that EVERY order is final. Keep in mind that the order was on Saturday and that there was no chance that it was already shipped. We will be ordering through Costco in the future regardless of price. We will also unsubscribe from Groupon emails.”

“Avoid #GroupCON like the plague! I purchased a table and chairs listed as cast aluminium for £134.99. Groupon said it was worth £299.00 but the plastic set I received can be purchased for much less elsewhere. Requested a refund and waited in on four separate days before it was finally collected. Now, Groupon have typed ‘refunded’ and ‘order cancelled’ on their own website and are using that as an excuse to keep my money. Messaged ‘Lux’ a multitude of times who plays games and does nothing to help whatsoever. All I get back is repeated requests for my order number and postcode, then messages stating ‘it says refunded’ or ‘it states cancelled’. Groupon now has kept my money and I have nothing to show for it. No one, especially not ‘Lux’ - who seems to be the only person working on customer services and Facebook - will do anything at all about it. Will not be letting this drop! How dare Groupon treat customers like this! Avoid this ‘company’ like the plague!”

“Sold tickets to an aquarium; turns out, they were actually (supposedly) tickets to a different museum. So, they were unusable.”

“Be careful! Read fine print! I was looking at tickets for a concert, tried going towards the end to see how much everything would be total (was checking out a few different seating locations) accidentally purchased. Contacted within LESS THAN A MINUTE and they said read fine print no refunds...ALSO later when I told a friend about the tickets and what happened she said those prices are a SCAM! I did filed a dispute through PayPal right after the person told me no refunds. Waiting!”

“I used to think they were great but then I realized that you can get stuff directly from merchants for about the same or better deals and will get better customer service. If something goes wrong with Groupon they will copy and paste stock answers and over that repeat the same thing saying why they cannot help you. Cut out the middle man and go directly to merchants.”

“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”

“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.”

“Trustpilot reviews Categories Blog My Reviews My Settings Help LOG OUT Dani GB For companies Your review counts! 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.”
