What happened to the large variety of quality clothes that were available on Ideeli/Ideel? I loved the site and bought so many beautiful dresses at affordable prices. Now, I can't find anything worth purchasing on Groupon. Based on reviews of Groupon that I've read, many people appear to agree wtih me. I agree with several people who stated Groupon has nothing but trash on its site. Please bring back the "old Ideel!"

A waste of time.
July 4, 2016

They sent me a email that had local deals list, one being half off at Donatos. On the screen that is show they list the name of the company, the discount and big green buy button. I thought great and bought it and thought great until they sent the voucher. It turns out the voucher was only good at one location 80miles away, and they call this local. This was the first time I had used and did not relize there is a bunch of fine print that you have scroll down below the green buy button. I sent a notice to cancell the deal right away (within a half hour) and they said that I missed the window to get refund. Their web page stated you had one day to cancell, but all they would do is give me groupon bucks, no cash back. I will never use them again.

Nothing much to say but this sight is legitimate and your guaranteed good products and speedy delivery within a week. Only downside is some product are on and off the next day.

I ordered a dog bed from one of their retailers. It was to be shipped to my work. After not receiving it 5 days after the tracking said it was in route, I found out it had been returned to Groupon. I called customer service and their solution was to just refund my money. I still wanted the dog bed! I'm not thrilled with their resolution, considering it was never an option to send a new one, overnight one, nothing. Needless to say I won't be ordering products off of here any longer. Amazon has never had this issue with delivery to the very same address.

Love Groupon!
June 29, 2016

Groupon never disappoints. I've ordered everything on the site: from hotel rooms to gym passes and even clothes, I don't think there's anything I haven't tried.

It's not always exciting stuff, but when it is, it's absolutely worth it.

The key to Groupon is to only buy during sales. I've had deals where it was so reduced it was almost given away. True, some establishments will give you the 'Groupon treatment', but who cares? It's a fun way to discover new companies at a reduced price.

Groupon used to be a really big thing. While I was in college I would hear a lot of people discussing it. A lot of people claimed to save a lot of money, so I figured "why not?" It was really great around 2013. However, I just cannot really find anything interesting on there. It has really fallen off from what it had been and I just don't find much value there at this point. It's almost like most local businesses have abandoned it.

I am so disappointed by the way Groupon has transitioned its purchase of Ideeli into just another Groupon experience. Instead of seeing quality designer clothes for sale, They show pages and pages of low end products that are not enticing at all. Why would Groupon spend all this money to purchase a designer site, only to transform it back into Groupon Cheap. Again, so disappointed.

I have ordered, reluctantly, from this company and believe it if not, I received all that I purchased in a timely manner. All items were just as advertised. I was very pleased!

Bad bad bad service
