"I have had a very very BAD experience!!!!!!! Microblading!!! let me add here the happenings:\r\n\r\nI bought a voucher and it was the worst cosmetical experience that I have had and the worst outcome!!!!! let me just say this. Groupon refused my refund!!!\r\n\r\nExcuse me? Are you realistically telling me that after all my complaints and all the things that I have just explained in all the communications, you ARE NOT GIVING A REFUND?\r\nI mean, and on top of it, the person is still available on your website and offering the same poor service, reaping people off money and hundreds of pounds with such a poor service?????\r\n\r\nYou tell me that this person can still provide services like this, and make microblading on human faces, like real cosmetical interventions on a person's face, with such a poor way, and on top of everything with copy pasted pics from google????\r\nDo you understand that this person is not showing her real work and copy-pasted a picture of another person on her account???? Sorry but what exactly have you done against such a behaviour actually???? according to your very puerile and naive answers, I understand you have done NOTHING????\r\nThis person asked from me 50 pounds for a 1 hour cosmetical procedure, that would be supposed to last for months, and genuinely from the first week, you could tell that the lines are unfinished, the microblading was not done deep enough and it will last max 2 months instead of 12 months??????????????????????????\r\n\r\n\r\nAnd you tell me that you DO NOT REFUND ME???? YOU dirt of a company???????!!!!!! You shameless people!!!! aren't you ashamed about your behaviour???\r\nWhy YOU DIDN'T CHECKED THIS PERSON AND HER APPTITUDES BEFORE REGISTERING HER ON THE WEBSITE??????\r\n\r\nI want a full refund and I do not have even in my mind the slightest intention me to run after her with emails and phone calls!!! As a matter of fact, I have totally BLOCKED HER phone number obviously?????!!!!!!!!\r\nIt is YOUR JOB to give me back my money!!!!!!!!!! and to call her.... not mine!!!!\r\n\r\now...wow.... I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOUR STUPID COMPANY TO ANYBODY, GROUPON!!!!! Omg.....\r\nI WANT A FULL REFUND!!!!!!!!! \r\n\r\nand since you have allowed her to do this service under such circumstances as a registered person on your website, let me PUBLISH EVERYWHERE the great quality that you are showing!!!!\r\nwe wouldn't want another person to be ripped off with another 50pounds per hour and then have a poor service .... OBVIOUSLY!!! since you done NOTHING!!! YOU POOR COMPANY!!!!!!!!\r\n\r\nI WAIT FOR A FULL REFUND!!!!

“DO NOT BOOK A TRIP!! I ordered a Groupon for a hotel stay that was to happen on April 24th through the 26th of 2020. I purchased this group on on May 4th 2020. When I originally purchased this group on the confirmation from the Groupon and the hotel said that as long as I canceled within nine days of the reservation I would receive a full refund. Because of the Corona virus my reservation was canceled by not only the hotel but by Groupon. The hotel issued me an email saying they were going to refund the amount to my payment. If I did not do anything by April 2nd it would be automatically refunded. Today April 3rd 2020, I received an email saying that the refund had not been issued to my form of payment, that instead Groupon had decided because of the Corona virus situation, that they were doing all refunds in the form of Groupon bucks. Groupon bucks can only be used to purchase things from Groupon and nothing else. I contacted Groupon and told them I did not want Groupon bucks. This reservation was for a birthday party obviously we will now have to do something else for this and have no intention of going to the hotel. Groupons response was that during the Corona virus they will only issue refunds to Groupon bucks and nothing else. I'd ask them for a refund again through another customer service agent and again explained that I never chose to get Groupon bucks and then I did not want to use any Groupon services. This was well within the cancellation period that was given to me initially when I made the reservation. Again they denied giving me the refund saying that they had already processed the refund into Groupon bucks and we're only doing that at this time.”

“DO NOT BOOK HOTELS THRU GROUPON! They will charge you and the hotel will charge you separately! They do not process the funds to the hotel, it appears that they keep them! You will be charged twice! It is also very difficult/ nearly impossible to speak with someone! They take days to respond to emails and then do not assist you! Use any other site, but Groupon!”

“Groupon’s present stance regarding refunds is deceitful and insulting, being little short of embezzlement. The company has lost my trust. I had a Groupon Getaway deal with a 3-day cancellation clause entitling me to a full refund. Fifteen days before I was due to visit the hotel, I contacted Groupon using their on-line chat service and cancelled the booking, with a request for a refund to my credit card. The Groupon representative processed this for me but advised that it may take several days to reach my account. This did not seem too unreasonable, but after 13 days I was getting anxious as no refund had materialised. I had to start afresh with a new on-line chat to find out what was happening. My anxiety soon turned to irritation when I was told that the booking had not, in fact, been cancelled. All they were willing to do at this stage was to give me Groupon Credits - they were not issuing any cash refunds anymore because they needed to "protect the merchants during 'these difficult times' because many are loyal small local businesses". What?!! How about looking after the interests of your loyal customers? {Sorry mate, you can’t have your money back – we’ll hang onto it so that you can exchange it for some tat off our website instead}.”

“I order my parcel on February 4 and sent number of message to say I hadn’t received it by the end of February I then asked to resend which I still never received. Emailed them again in March n now April And now They are saying I can’t have a refund just credits, it’s an absolute joke why would I want to buy anything else on ur site when they don’t arrive !!”

“Me and my friends booked a hotel in New York City for a weekend in April before the Covid-19 pandemic. After NY announced a state of emergency/stay-at-home order, we contacted Groupon to let them know we will be cancelling our hotel reservation. They let us know that we needed to contact the merchant (hotel) to see if they will honor the refund which they were happy to honor given NY’s current state. After informing Groupon that the hotel was ok with refunding us, they then asked us to instead move our dates. After many back and forth emails with Groupon, they went back on their original word and refused to give any type of refund or credit because ‘we had exceeded the window in which this could be processed’ after 3 weeks of communication with their customer service team. Their only solution was to move our dates knowing that we are completely unsure of when it will be safe to travel to New York in the foreseeable future. It was completely disappointing that Groupon was unwilling to work with their customers during an already confusing and difficult time. Even after the hotel was willing to work with us and agreed to provide a refund, Groupon was contradictory in their word. The inconsistency in the customer service was not only confusing but extremely frustrating. It is very likely that I will never be using Groupon again and especially to book any hotels.”

“Groupon is so wrong on so man levels. Where do I begin??? They are very difficult to resolve any issues with. They say free returns, but then when you try to return something, there are times when now they say that this was a final sale, no returns. I would not buy something knowing that there was no return!!! I am now dealing with an exchange problem. Here...I ordered larger sizes for the shirts I purchased because the review said they run small. When they came, they were WAY TOO BIG. So I exchanged for 1X. I sent the shirts bk to Groupon. They sent me the "new size" but guess what. These shirts were both 2X, NOT 1X as I had requested. So, bk to the exchange right? Only thing is now they have the exchange button dithered on these items. So I hit refund on the first shirt to start the process. Later on they say that they do not want the shirt back, but that they will credit my account in the way of groupon bucks. So now I go to the other shirt to start the same process as the previous shirt, right? No, this shirt they want back, saying they will give a refund in the original form. Fine right? No, Now they are saying they want both shirts sent bk, & that they had credited my account appropriately. But NO!!! There is still only $14 in my bucks and they just can not "get it"!!! It should be a total of $28 something if they want both shirts bk now!!! I am done with them!!! This is just ONE example of dealings with Groupon. Sorry so long, but do you understand what the problem is here??! Thanks if you've made it to the end!! 8~)”

“One star is way too much for this disgusting vile company with zero customer services. No changes to their cancellation policy during this awful time. They don’t give a hoot about Covid19 and would rather see vulnerable customers attending a Spa ! How ???? Rather than reimburse monies It’s diabolical that a company of this magnitude can treat customers like this and as soon as I have used my Groupon credits which is apparently all I can have, I will be voting with with my feet. DO NOT TOUCH THIS COMPANY and if you are a company thinking of selling your services through them - DONT your reputation will be soiled forever !!”

“Did live chat with customer service today and was told my $80 is non refundable because I didn't read the fine print and the offer said all sales final! Guess the company's guarantee that you get the amount you paid even if the groupon expires is not true. Also to add insult to injury the agent then closed the chat while I was writing a response. Avoid purchases from this company - I know I will never buy another item from them ever!”

“One star is one too many for this company. I purchased a voucher for our friends to visit a company close by. Unfortunately due to Coronavirus they have had to self isolate, I informed groupon within the 14 day refund period and tried to get a refund, they have refused to give me my money back and have given me vouchers instead. In normal circumstances I would agree with this but we have a pandemic which is out of our control so goodness knows when I will be able to use the voucher and like most people are worrying about money so every penny counts!”

“I purchased an outsunny Rattan furniture set and only received 1 box out of 3 required. The box was clearly labelled 1/3 yet only one box arrived. After realising this I contacted groupon and asked if the two missing boxes could be sent out as I only have 1 cushion and a few rattan corner pieces. I had no manual no tool pieces no tapered glass for the table and whatever else was missing. I sent in images as proof but was told the only option was to return the item we received to get a refund, however they are not accepting returns due to the coronavirus outbreak. They said we would have to wait until the outbreak had calmed and everything had returned to normal before they would accept this, for us to obtain a refund or for them to send us the rest of our purchase. All we asked is for the rest of our purchase and the two remaining boxes, however they would not compromise. We are now left with 1/3 of our purchase, £269 down and no way of Groupon looking to resolve this situation. When we are all going through tough times, and we just wanted some furniture to enjoy in our garden whilst in isolation and we can’t even do that. Disappointed and upset is an understatement.”

“Placed an order via the British Airways shop site, which moves you over to the groupon website. Goods arrived late and the description was inaccurate. The chat line guy, first of all rushed me and then when I answered a question with a simple yes, to make sure I kept him online, he sarcastically replied “yes please”. I wanted to know why the Avios points from Groupon showed up as Sutton’s and the chat guy could not be of assistance because the advert on the BA site wasn’t Groupon. So if that’s the case why do Groupon bother to advertise on the BA site, because they must pay for the service, as BA will not provide the service free of charge”

“So back in January I purchased a Groupon specifically for my upcoming destination wedding ... a trip that is obviously cancelled now. On top of the heartbreaking reality that I’m losing my dream wedding, Groupon refuses to refund my purchase even tho the business is closed and won’t reopen before my wedding... I paid in cash but now am being offered groupon bucks as an alternative. This is a disgusting example of companies profiting off the losses of people due to COVID-19 Shame on you Groupon. You’ve lost a very good customer. I’ll never shop with you again and I’m sharing this experience all over social media. #GrouponFail”
