Any good or bad experiences with 'Groupon'
Can't say much or I might get a 'Quiet Word'.
I've just had a lovely foot treatment -Bliss!

Yes. We went to a very nice restaurant using a Groupon voucher. Much cheaper. Must look out for another one!

I think I must have unsubscribed by mistake. I'm not getting the emails anymore.
Must join up again.

My daughter and partner used a Groupon voucher for an Indian banquet with champagne at an expensive restaurant in Ramsbottom in Lancashire. They paid £15 for a meal that would have cost £60 with the glasses of champagne. They said they wouldn't have thought it did actually cost £60, more like £40 to £45, but nevertheless it was a great meal and a bargain.

My three daughters have booked a hat making session, through Groupon, just before middle daughter's wedding - then they told me they had booked me the session with them. £45 and I don't do hats!!! I'll let you know but I am not hopeful. sad

I just googled it and found a bbc critique you may wish to look at it. Very mixed responses!

My daughter bought a battery ride-on car for their wee boy for Christmas. They didn't get the one they wanted and it has never worked. The firm refuse to answer emails re; refund or picking up useless item which was not cheap. I wouldn't touch Groupon with a barge pole !!!!
angry

Did you contact Groupon to complain?When my Memory Foam pillows took ages to arrive I mailed Groupon and they replied and pursued my complaint.They did eventually arrive and I'm pleased with them.

Maniac, you're absolutely welcome to talk about any experiences with any company, as long as it's not libellous (ie. demonstrably false).

Links etc are all fine, as long as it's not advertising or spamming, and we (and you) can normally tell when that is!

Hate to think that you're holding back telling us from the Groupon scoop of the century on our behalf grin

Hmmm - have heard more negative stories than positive ones so have unsubscribed - anyway got fed up with the bombardment of e-mails form them and associated companies.
