Dreadful company that I will never deal with again - appalling - avoid. Tried to buy a charging radio clock and did not understand the coupon system - customer service refuse to help even though the clock is still available - really? So I'm writing the money off and will join the majority of people on this review site that do not have a good word to say about a Living Social - a lesson to me to check reviews first - over 1000 people can't be wrong!

States that this is a giant plant worth £50 and reduced to £25. The photograph is a giant palm with a huge trunk and hundreds of leaves 4-5 feet. The plant sent is three feet with three leaves.

When I clicked on "ORDER" to get the tickets, the system kicked back and said that my transaction did not go through and to call customer service. There are no phone numbers and no chat service to contact on the site. I tried to order again a couple of times and they both also kicked back. 5 minutes later I receive a confirmation order for 3 orders. All the transactions went through. I contacted customer service but they said the tickets were non refundable and there was nothing they could do, even though their system was not working properly.

I recently purchased a deal from them for a haircut... within their fine print, they sneaked in that actually blow drying the hair wasn't included. I've never seen them allow a salon to withhold that service. The voucher cost like $35 and the salon up-charges $30 for you to not walk out with wet hair. I flagged this to LivingSocial, kindly asking to exchange for a less skeezy salon four days after purchasing. 24 hours later, they said they will not allow that even though I never opened the voucher to see the code. No wonder people have stopped using LivingSocial as much - lesson learned.

WOW! I bought a couple of vouchers from LivingSocial. I used one for Shaw Academy and after the course bought a lifetime membership. I called LivingSocial to refund the second Shaw Academy voucher and they won't. You only have 3 days to request a refund so don't even bother buying no matter how good the deal sounds. All the rep from LivingSocial did was read me their hidden details. They are a SCAM. They won't even provide a credit. BTW the call center and online chat is in Columbia - so good luck getting nowhere.

After purchasing a massage, I called the business and was told it was for women only. The printed voucher does NOT specify for women only. The fine print when purchasing does specify women only. So, I contacted LivingSocial and explained the problem. Not only would they not entertain a refund, but they would not issue a credit for a future purchase. Groupon on the other hand has issued me a credit for the same type of problem. My advice is to not but anything from LivingSocial. Instead go to Groupon.

Bought Dinner Cruise voucher tix as a Fathers Day gift for my hubby only to my horror we show up to the event and they tell us the vouchers are invalid. Had to spend full price not to mention the embarrassment. I called my credit card and reported this fraudster immediately. I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau, Chamber of Commerce, Local NYPD Community Representative, City Council etc. They picked the wrong person to scam!

Purchased goods which apparently were lost in transit. For 4 weeks now there is no 'live chat' customer advisors available on website! I wanted a refund but was fobbed off at every level whenever I managed to contact them
Followed Living Social's guidelines by contacting company direct. Then received items that I had not ordered. To make matters worse from a company I did not purchase vouchers for. This company sell the same product via Amazon. Therefore, the original price must have been 'hiked up' for promotional purposes. Emailed Living Social umpteen times and opened a case against them on Revolver website. Living Social do not vet their merchants nor do they accept responsibility for redeeming of the voucher but they do accept your money. Long, arduous task to get a refund.

DO YOUR RESEARCH ON HIM BEFORE GOING FOR FILLERS. He is on RipOff Report. LivingSocial will NOT REFUND MY MONEY. 20 units of Botox. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HE INJECTED ME WITH but it was NOT BOTOX! NO RESULTS! I am not a complainer. I have gotten Botox before. How he hasn't lost his license is unreal to me. How LivingSocial & Groupon are allowing Fraudulent Doctors is so upsetting. IT IS A TOTAL SCAM! I've made Botox purchases before on these sites and everything went fine. Totally lost my trust! Now, I have to walk away happy that I didn't opt to buy more expensive fillers and eat even more money. The good reviews have to be fake. Or what? He scams a bunch of ppl then gives real fillers to others. Doubt it!

I bought a voucher for them a few years ago and was pleased, but I recently got two more vouchers from them and was unable to process them through the sellers' websites. With most companies this wouldn't be a big deal. But when I went back to LS for help, there is no link to contact the company directly. All they had was circular links through their FAQ. No direct email to a person, no phone number. Fortunately I'm only out $24, but I'll consider it a lesson learned. Sticking with Groupon from now on!
