LivingSocial this company has horrible customer service

I wanted to see a final price on a trip prior to making my decision, and instead of showing me a final price or even asking if I was certain I wanted to purchase the $700+ trip for two to Cancun, the website charged the $727 to my credit card THEY KEPT ON FILE automatically. I cancelled the purchase immediately, but my card was instantaneously charged the money. When I called them to see if they would assist me in communicating with my bank, sending a fax to them letting them know the funds will not be collected so the bank will release them back to my account, they told me they absolutely do not communicate with banks via fax or phone. When I asked to speak to a supervisor to try and resolve the issue, the woman on the phone placed me on hold, but when the same woman came back on the phone she told me she confirmed with her supervisor that there was nothing they are willing to do.

She advised me to have the bank call them, and that I should perhaps be mroe careful with my purchases.

Terrible customer service, and absolutely no effort to assist me in resolving the problem. I will never use this company again and strongly suggest finding another coupon website that values their customers as people intead of numbers.

LivingSocial merchant unavailable or out of business, non-responsive

I bought two SUV details with No Water No Hose Mobile Detailing via the Living Social website/coupon program on 9/9/2010. I paid $110.00. I made several appointments for details with the vendor. They never showed or followed up. I emailed and phoned the vendor and never received a response.

I used the problem link on the Living Social website to notify them of the issue and request a refund.

I received an acknowledgment email from Living Social that advised they would review and respond to me within two days. That was 11/18/2010 - today is 12/5/2010. I followed up with an email to Living Social with no response at all from Living Social.

LivingSocial voucher cannot be redeemed

I purchased a deal voucher from Gonabit (now living social) few months back. The voucher expires only on 4/1/2012. But when I called up the merchant to redeem it today (3/1/2012), the merchant refused saying that the deal has expired. When I contacted Living Social to whom I paid the money, they said they would do nothing about it. Guys beware of such fraudulent deals in the future!

LivingSocial misleading offer

I bought a coupon for two nights in a "Really Nice Room" at "The Groveland Hotel at Yosemite National Park." This is language from the offer. It blacked out after May 15, 2011 until October 15 and expired April 15, 2012. I called three times to schedule before May 15 and each time was told that room was booked but for and extra $90 a night I could upgrade to a vacant room. A $180 upgrade for a $150 deal? So they sold many more deals than they could possibly fulfill and even then only about three weeks of the available rooms were while Yosemite was open. When I asked for a refund LS said it was past the five day refund limit and refused. Bye bye Living Social.

LivingSocial stay away from these fraud

Bought 2 different deals from them and when I went to redeem them in the last week of the deal, the businesses never got back to me. So basically trying to have me lose the timeframe to register and use the deal. One called back saying come in and then were closed when I went in at the allotted time.

Then livingsocial says its good for it's value which is useless unless you spend another $100-200 to be able to get nominal use out of the "offer". when i called they pretty much implied, suck it up, put in more money into it and get something or lose the whole thing since the value paid is not worth anything; implying 1 salsa lesson being more than $40. I dont think so! LIVINGSOCIAL AND THE TWO COMPANIES I got these deals for lost a customer as i would have bought and stuck with them and will review the other two businesses as well so people know to stay away.

LivingSocial no refund on daily deal

I’ve purchased Haviana thongs from livingsocial.com over 7 weeks ago – the thongs are from ozthongs.com.au…I (and other friends who have purchased as well) still have not received the thongs. I’ve rung ozthongs several times and left messages…no return call. I’ve rung livingsocial (jumponit) and have asked for a refund as I don’t believe the thongs will ever arrive – living social advises that they can not give a refund once a purchase is processed (by the way, a purchase is processed the minute you buy a deal).

WARNING: If you purchase a deal on living social be prepared to lose your money as there is no refund/return policy.

LivingSocial places customer service at the very heart of our business and we strive to ensure members and partners alike benefit from a great experience with us.
We are, of course, extremely disappointed to hear of instances where LivingSocial hasen't lived up to the high service standards we set for ourselves. In the specific cases of Elizabeth Ludlow and Reece George, both parties have received a full refund, and a personal apology from Peter Briffett, Managing Director of LivingSocial UK and Ireland.

YA MY ###!

I have informed you about the faulty goods I have received within 6 hours of receiving them.
I have sent 4 emails this is number 5. With no reply...
I am writing on all bords possible about your service and will continue to do so until your problem is resolved.
I WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON YOUR BUSINESS...

Subject: faulty item

Hi, I purchased a fm transmitter and Just received it.
The purchase is an expert fm transmitter. order number 371994.
The product is meant to fit into an Iphone, however it lacks the clips on either side of the fitting which holds it in place. Therefore it will not stay in the phone.
Every device made to fit the iphone has these clips.
Please acknowledge this email and advise on return policy and refunds available including postage.
it defeats the purpose of purchasing discounted products if they dont work and you have to spend time and money complaining
and returning the items.

LivingSocial changing the state of deals

I used purchased a deal on the http://www.livingsocial.com website and it was a coupon for jewelry. I went redeem the coupon and I noticed the deal was out of Australia. I never signed up to receive deals out of there! I emailed them for a refund in which they told me too bad too sad, I know the rules on the 5 day refund policy. I am aware of this and if it was in the US or had free shipping I was not have been asking for a refund. My complaint is, if I am supposed to keep up to my end of the bargain and adhere to the refund policy rules, http://www.livingsocial.com should not be able to change the location without notifying the consumer.

LivingSocial car detailing ripoff

Austin TX. My husband bought two SHINE car detailing "deals". He made an appointment for 1; the place cancelled and said they had to reschedule, but then we could never get in touch with them to reschedule. His daughter never got them on the phone for hers. After making a complaint to Living Social, the car detailing person "Elena" called him and said they didn't want to do business with him and to get his money back. Living social said that wasn't the way it worked. So my conclusion is that they don't check out any businesses they offer specials for. I will unsubscribe and tell anyone I know about the bad experience.

LivingSocial deals - rip off

First of to all Merchants, Stay away from LivingSocial.Com. Specially from their Salesperson in San Francisco. They made so many unfulfilled promises and at the end, they screw the merchant over. First day the Salesman (Name: Chase) came to our Shop, very upbeat and very pushy to get their services on board with an iPad as a free to use ticket to get merchants on board. I made it clear that I am alone for the time and will need help and he said he has people to help me. We reviewed the deals and toward its last week before the one day special deal was run, I made the change on the deal to make sure he does not include the drinks and customer must be aware that taxes are not included. The deal is only for Food/Sandwiches and Smoothies. He said he made the changes, but on the promo $1 deal day, nothing was changed and customers were online mad about it. I told the customers to call living social because it was supposed to have been changed on their system before the the deal was published.

One week before the day one, I been testing their system on the iPad, which was written very clumsy and unreliably. I made it clear a few times with the salesman as well as the trainor on the phone that once I clicked redeemed, if it is not necessary to enter the totals since their system shows a check mark says 'redeemed' and I was told that is right and correct. However, on $1 day one, this was not true. 90 percent of redeemed voucher did not make it in their system. This salesman was blaming me and grab the iPad and the cable and told me, this is not going to happen again and he was so mad and so arrogant A..S. He was also blaming me for having his field personnel helped me in the kitchen. Asked me if I asked them to do the sandwiches and I said, I did not - She actually went and helped me before I can even asked her. What I said to her was, it would be great if the salesman fulfill his promise to send he the kitchen help. Although I appreciated the help, it was a complete mess - sandwiches and food were not done properly and correctly. Food were just smashed together and given to customers. Wraps were not warmed up and lettuce/ingredients were not cut for the wraps and were just rolled up together. All my cold wraps from the fridge were taken out although the wraps were already prepared on the shelves. Most of these customers did not come back. The kitchen was a total disaster and total mess since everything were all over the place and messy. Good the health department was not scheduled to visit the shop that day. I told the salesman that, I am the one to tell you this is not going to happen again and you are fired, and he was not the one to tell me not to be doing business with us again. Yes, I got paid after 3 weeks and one follow up. But again, today, their customer service called me (Kristen Nielsen) and told me I was chosen to be featured in LivingSocial today and told me that they would like to do a deal today. Knowing that I was not talking to the previous Salesman, I said OK lets talked about it and we did. I also explained what happened previously and how rude the salesman was and I will never want to see his face and do business with him ever in San Francisco ever again. After we setup the deal and everything completed, she cancelled the deal and told me that she is not going to go through this deal today. So I told her, Never EVER call me again from LivingSocial and I will slam my phone to anyone from your company who calls me. They are NOT worth doing business and Merchants, beware of this new startup. They are just there to mess up Merchants for their own benefit. Once they mess you up, they make their bucks and you are done. NEVER AGAIN..

LivingSocial horrible customer service

Livingsocial.com has poor company integrity. Unlike groupon, who guarantees 100% customer satisfaction, Livingsocial.com does not even know about the service they recommend. We bought 2 one-hour long massages from a Raleigh Chiropractic company. These massages were horrible. The appointments were running 45 minutes late. The room was unprofessional, with the masseuse not changing the sheet in between clients. The masseuse talked our ears off about how his hands were soar from doing livingsocial.com massages back-to-back all week. He barely massages us and it only last for 20 minutes, while we paid for a one-hour chiropractic massage.

Worst of all, we sent a customer service complaint to livingsocial.com and they have yet to respond after 3 days. To add insult to injury, livingsocial.com posted this same chiropractic company special several weeks later! I will never use livingsocial again because they do not investigate the integrity and quality of the specials that they offer. This public complaint is a result of no response from their customer service department.

Horrible customer service Had to wait 30 min on hold. Am having trouble with them accepting my credit cards for a purchase. I have tried 3 different cards all have money on them, the numbers were put in correctly but it still declines I tried a different email, a different computer NOTHING works. I wouldn't even buy from this horrible company but they are the only one offering 50 % discount on something I want. When I talked to customer service he said he couldn't help. I asked for a supervisor and he said no-one could help with "technical" problems REALLY ? That's absolutely ridiculous.

LivingSocial false representation

LivingSocial "deals" are not deals at all. Pat attention to the fine print! Don't get fooled like I did. Avoid these scammers at all costs!

Here's the email I sent LivingSocial explaining my frustration:

I should have known there would endless fine print and strings attached to the deals you offer. I have made my first and absolute last purchase using LivingSocial.

I’m not sure how LivingSocial has survived without being labeled a scam. I purchased hotel reservations for $295 which included three nights stay in Orlando and two nights stay in Daytona Beach. After confirming my reservations, an additional $15 per night “reservation fee” was attached to my package. A $59/night bargain suddenly became $74/night. I keep asking myself why I didn’t cancel the entire deal as soon as they additional fee was mentioned.

I was asked if I wanted to receive discount tickets to area Orlando attractions if I would participate in a 90 minute sales pitch. I have no interest in a 90 minute waste of time, so I refused. Apparently it doesn’t matter whether or not you refuse; fine print on the reservation confirmation states the 90 minute presentation is mandatory.

My trip is scheduled June 21-26. If I could, I would cancel immediately and save myself the grief. The only problem is I know somewhere in the fine print there surely must be a cancellation fee.

Your so called “deals” sucked me in once, shame on you. Rest assured I will not be fooled a second time.

I have used livingsocial many times but after my last experience it - NO MORE. I purchased a voucher for a mani/pedi and when I called the nail salon to redeem it, they asked me right off the bat if I had a livingsocial coupon- I told them yes and then proceeded to tell me that they could only give me a morning or early afternoon appointment- the voucher does NOT specify times. I called livingsocial to report this and basically all they told me was oh well. If you want any control over the quality of service you receive at a business DO NOT BUY A LIVING SOCIAL VOUCHER. They don't stand by you as a customer and businesses have basically been paid already and therefore are not concerned with your experience after all, you've already coughed up the dough- what's it to them? I do appreciate the deals and discounts but after this, it's just not worth the aggravation. Will pay a little extra in the future to have control over my consumer experience.

Living Social has the worst customer service of any company I've ever dealt with. We bought a hotel voucher, for which the ONLY blackout dates listed were federal holidays and an upcoming festival in the spring. When we went to make our reservation, however, the hotel had changed the blackout dates to include the entire week surrounding the federal holiday, which was when we were planning to go. We asked for a refund, and not only did they refuse, they treated us like complete idiots. I will never use them again and would highly advise against it.

Living Social
A Touch From The Soul
60-Minute Full-Body Massage with Mini Facial

This situation was a complete scam. This person is a massage therapist and I could never talk to her on the phone. Her voicemail redirected everyone to her website and after repeated left messages, she never returned my calls. On the day of my appointment she sent me a "text message" stating that my appointment had been cancelled and needed to be rescheduled because she had lost her lease. I found out there were many negative remarks on her website and I wanted a refund. After repeated emails to Living Social, I have not received a single reply. The last thing I have had to do is contact my daughter (whose gift this was to me), and ask her to go to her credit card company and refuse the charge which she (in her embarassment for a "gift gone bad"), is attempting to do. Living Social should respond to their customers and not ignore them.

I purchased a coupon through living social. When I went to use the coupon with the vendor, the vendor claimed they would not be profitable honoring the coupon and tried to charge me for "extras." They told me that if I wasn't happy, Living Social would provide a refund.

I was not happy and contacted Living Social for a refund. Living Social would NOT provide a refund. Terrible customer support from Living Social in my opinion.

As a small business Do NOT use living social. People buying these deals will never be a regular client and are demanding like no one's business.We had an independant contractor manicurist run this deal and even after expiration of the voucher, people insisted on getting the DEAL! The contractor does not work for us anymore and we're still getting calls and hang ups. Living social said they would refund clients who neglected to make appointments on time, of course they never did. To sum it up all we got out of running a deal with living social are bad reviews, not just bad, but nasty!

My daughter signed up for the Hunter Mountain ski trip. She got up at 5 and although she was early for her bus, there was no seat for her. All of her friends, who arrived either at the same time or later, got seats. The people running the trip are just college kids with no real adult management and no resources to solve problems. They just sent the unlucky people, all of whom got up at the crack of dawn, home.

Check out the vendor and don't be flexible on dates or you won't get a refund!

I bought a voucher which the vendor was unable to honour within the time frame as they were moving premises. They offered to rebook in the New Year but when I went the new premises were temporary and freezing (it was for a massage). I emailed Living Social twice for a refund but got no reply and when I called I was told that as the voucher was expired I was not covered. I explained that this was not my fault as the vendor was unable to honor the deal within the time but was told I should have complained then. I wanted to complain but was told that the only way to do so was through Customer Service - no higher/independant service!

Their website said I had until the charge processed to cancel. I found out immediately that the hotel had a better "deal" that was cancellable on their own site (and also that it was not the correct hotel for my conference!) and tried to cancel. Livingsocial website took me about an hour to get through - they would not cancel the transaction and actually charged it on an EXPIRED card! They will not extend any credit and don't care that the card was invalid - told me to take that up with the credit card company.
They are AWFUL! They do not care about customers at all. Groupon is heaven sent! This is not my first bad interaction with Livingsocial, but it will be my last! STAY AWAY!

In August, I found out that my LivingSocial deal could not be used the way it was described. I contacted customer service, and was told that the business would honor the coupon as I described, but I could get a refund if I wanted. When I called the business again, and they confirmed they would not honor it, so I officially requested a refund on 10/19/10. Since then (it is January 30, 2017), I have received NO response from customer service. I have officially requested this refund 6 times now. NOTHING.

I also have submitted two inquiries about accessing my account. Currently, although I have had an account for over a year, the site will not let me log in through the main page. It is only giving me the option of logging in through Facebook. I shut my facebook account down months ago. Again, two requests for help, NO response. The WORST customer service I have experienced in a long time. I will stick with Groupon from here on out.

I recently bought through them a voucher for house cleaning service.
The merchant does not seem to exist, or has decide not to honor the offer.

When calling the phone number on the offer you are directed to a voicemail, and my repeated messages are left unanswered.

SocialLiving "graciously" offered to give me "courtesy" credit for the offer, but refuses to give me a cash refund (despit the fact their terms and conditions clearly state they will refund you if the vendor goes out of business)

Why would I want credit to spend on a site which clearly advertise fake offers?

Ranting to some of my friends I learned to my surprise some had a similar experience with LivingSocial. This is the first time I ran into such a blatant scam dressed up as a legit website.

LivingSocial stay away from these crooks

I just got a call from Visa Fraud Dept on the same card (it's not used for every day transactions either), saying that and online purchase was attempted this morning at Bed, Bath & Beyond & there's an approved pending amount of $1 on my account. Of course I will not know the full amount that charges until it hits my actual bank, then I can dispute it, and they will refund it, but still this is a hassle. I'm more than anything believing this is linked to when I bought the Amazon gift card from Living Social. I didn't have a good feeling about it, as I'd never heard of that company, but still did it. Now...the hassle. Ugh! Just letting you know...watch your bank statements in case the Fraud folks at your bank don't see it.

There are plenty of reasons why this can happen, I have a feeling your belief that it is livingsocial is not accurate. I've used them before and I would classify them as extremely reputable for the consumer, maybe not as much for the person doing the deal, but that is a different story.

I just received a call from my credit card company of fraudulent activity on my CC yesterday out of NY. I live in Michigan. I only made two online purchases in the last month. One was the Amazon Livingsocial deal. I would suggest that everyone watch their statements for unauthorized activity. My card is being closed out due to the fraud.

I just did an internet search and found that other people are having similar issues since making the purchase for this deal.

LivingSocial they have damaged their brand and credibility and now they are scrambling to make up for it

This is how it felt: Living Social wanted to make a bunch of money. So they did this deal with Amazon, and they didn't really care how their customers were treated. They were not prepared for the traffic or the business. They didn't have enough people to respond to all the phone calls or emails. As a result of not putting their customers first, they have damaged their brand and credibility and now they are scrambling to make up for it.

LivingSocial - merchant complaint

We are a merchant who signed up to provide spa services. After having to discount our service 50% up front and then give Living Social a 30% (it's increased to 50% now) cut of that money our profit margin was very slim but we were encouraged by potentially having some new business come through the doors. We ran the ad in Sept. 2010 and had great success, so...

LivingSocial bad service

Help Request #: [protected] filed on 8/15/10 via web. Received electronic confirmation of receipt and never again a reply/response. Followed up on 8/16/10 during normal business hours via phone listed on website. No answer. Followed up again on 8/17 requesting money back. Never a reply/response.

I have called the Living social Deal (T's Terrific touch) more than six times to schedule an appointment. I either leave a message on a personal voicemail phone, or when I actually speak with "Anthony" he is never at a place where he can view his calendar to put me on the calendar for a vehicle detail.

Here is the specific email sent to help AT livingsocial.com on 8/15/10:

I purchased two (2) car detail packages in Charlotte for Terrific Ts Car detail on 8/10/10. I request a full refund for the following reasons:

1. I left a message on a personal voicemail (Anthony) and never received a call back for an appointment

2. It is within the 5 days from purchase for a refund.

I started getting charges to my credit card and never authorized this. How do I undo this?!

It is with great regret that I feel a scathing review of this experience is required. The deal I purchased was a £9 voucher for afternoon tea for two at the Vinea Wine Bar (Albert Dock, Liverpool). It claimed that a guest and I would be able to enjoy "a selection of sandwiches and cakes, two homemade scones served with clotted cream and preserves, tea or coffee, and a glass of bubbly each."

However, what was offered could hardly be called a selection. The sandwiches were merely small slices of extremely chewy French baguette with cheese and Branston pickle (or, as an alternative, some very small pieces of ham). The "selection of cakes" amounted to two tiny pieces of carrot cake and bite-sized chocolate muffins that might as well have come from Tesco. The "scones" were equally as tiny and were not served with clotted cream, but were in fact served with butter and jam (with no knife - we actually had to ask for one instead of resorting to spreading them with our fingers).

The presentation of the food, which did not come with some extra plates to eat from, meant that the afternoon tea was a rather messy and undignified affair. I would certainly not purchase this deal again. Disappointingly, I had purchased two (so I could take out two different guests) and am now considering giving my second voucher to someone else.

They have terrible customer service. They ignore their customers when they mess up or lost money.
