I have noted that Groupon has adopted a number of unacceptable business practices, including:
1) Selling items that are never delivered or are of extremely poor quality. A variety of excuses follow - such as out of stock, manufacturer problem, will collect item by courier or will refund - none of these actually ever happens. And then they re-advertise the same item. Vouchers: 0040032XJE, 0040243AGT, 0010077PJD. #668183, Refund promised 1/2/2013. Still waiting!!
2) Cashing vouchers that have not been used by the customer. Voucher for RapidStudio: 0030207244.
3) Not investigating business partners satisfactorily and selling for businesses that don't exist, close down or refuse to honour groupon vouchers. Vouchers: 0010202PFY, 0010082Y3P, 0010034HUN, 0010093B2D, 001007934G, 0010239VC9 Reference: #709316. No refunds or credits received.
I believe that Groupon is no longer trading honourably and their business practices are tantamount to. It is time the South African public and legitimate businesses withdraw their support. I certainly will never use them again. So pay me back the money you owe me into my credit card, so that I can avoid any further dealings with Groupon.
