If I could rate them 0 stars I would. Never bought anything from them before and wasn't aware I had to redeem my purchase. They took my money and never delivered my purchase. When I asked for a refund they never gave me one. Will never be buying from here again. Also never received a wowcher code so wouldn't have been able to redeem it anyways.

Poor service
February 17, 2022

I ordered a family photoshoot (Christmas gift) and asked for gift pack in Nov, didn't receive till middle Dec after chasing it on what's app and Facebook.

Packaged it up and my daughter was due to have her new baby in the new year. Checked dates ect. Anyway my daughter tried to redeem the gift code to find out expired... Bare in mind I never received a email with voucher or reminder to say it was to expire.

Anyway contacted their suppose customer service on WhatsApp /Facebook to be told the voucher expired end of Dec and to check my voucher. Informed them was a gift and no expiry date. They sent me a message stating it clearly states expire date. No refund.

Queried and pointed out where is expire date? Sent pics of vouchers etc.

He sent me a voucher that was supposedly emailed (deffinately didn't receive as was a gift) sent proof of my message vouchers etc and voucher pack... Guess what yeah had an expiry date from Oct to Dec 21 but also stated to be used by June 22. Queried the dates to n/r. Ignored my messages. Then had cheek to ask me for feedback... Bare in mind my case wasn't closed and never had a reply to my queries.

I replied feedback... You got to be kidding me my case isn't answered and not closed. Got a message back sorry I don't understand what is your feedback to our customer service from 0-unsatisfactory - 10 excellent. Replied back 0.

I did get my refund straight away after going through PayPal. And seconds after putting request in received refund.

Stay away from Wowcher. Unable to email or speak to anyone. Can only use Facebook or WhatsApp. Disgusting they Happy to take money but hard to get refund.

First off Wowcher is a subscription site and they will set up recurring automatic payments to paypal or your cards. I didn't realise this but did notice it and cancelled automatic payments from Paypal.
Secondly the customer service is without doubt the rudest I have ever encountered in addition there is no customer service. They simply parrot lines at you then hang up.
I would think thier website and adverts contravene trades description, you don't get what is advertised and it astonishes me the company is still allowed to trade.

Do not use, do not pass go, do not let them collect your $200, just turn around and go find a more reputable online sales site.

DO NOT waste your money, this site basically mugs you and leaves you feeling crap. Refuse to refund. They are toaly ignorant and treat you like a joke. Refusing they had not recieved my return regardless of proof of tracking and photo from delivery company. Also ended chat if not reposted immediately and also close the chat when they had enough of talking to you. You can buy everything they sell from China yourself and still save some money. I bought 2 robot vaccummes that was useless, no suction. I posted back using hermes and supplied all details. They state they have not recieved anything even though the photo shows the parcel in their warehouse. BTW still not got my money back.

Imagine buying goods from a well known auction site if there was no process for rating and no process for getting your money back. Welcome to wowcher. A front for online merchants who are protected from consumer rights because all you bought was a voucher to exchange for their goods.

I was scammed into buying two cheap plastic made in China garden hoses worth about £3.99 by a clever photo and a "discount" from £26.99 to £9.99. The "merchant" never replied to my messages and eventually Wowcher refunded me the cost IN THE FORM OF A CREDIT VALID FOR 3 MONTHS, but not the £6.00 postage. I used the refund to buy some towels, which I never received. I was told they were lost in transit. I got another credit refund which I used to buy some other Bath Sheets reduced from £46.99 to £18.99 They weren't bash sheets but much smaller bath towels and the quality was appalling The thickness was like a tea cloth, lower quality than a £2.50 bath towel from a cheap supermarket. The pictues on Wowher were fake and thee towels I gt were not the ones on the manufacturers website, where the genuine towels were £19.99 not £49.99. It's a game of diminishing returns. If I send them back I lose the postage every time and end up with another rubbish item you wouldn't buy from a market stall. The discounts are fake and the goods are just low quality rubbish

Theft
January 13, 2022

Purchased a wowcher voucher in excess of £100 as a Christmas gift. I didnt realise i had to redeem the offer. Tried to book the much needed spa day after working as nurse all over Christmas and new year and told the voucher has expired and cannot have a refund. Absolutely disgusting will not purchase from wowcher again.

I'm disappointed
December 22, 2021

CaseID *******

Bought a watch through Wowcher/Easy living or whatever their useless sister company's called. Watch arrived but the watch is stolen (still paired with its original owner).
Emailed Wowcher, someone called Noah picked it up. Helpful at first but then went silent. It's been months since they took my money and weeks since the watch was sent back. And now everyone's silent.

Disgraceful!

Today I tried to order a kids doodle pad for £7.99. I was immediately charged £227.94. It seems I purchased other items like an umbrella, kids building block, an Armani watch, Christmas crackers etc... I did not even click on those items, never mind order them. I tried to cancel immediately but Wowcher only accepts WhatsApp messages... I paid via Paypal so I have opened up a fraudulent activity case. I hope Paypal will see it for what it is and pull the money back from Wowcher to reimburse me. This was shocking for a well known website to do this.
Edit: After a WhatsApp exchange, and reminding them of the Distance Selling Legal rules, I was fully refunded. I've tried to unsubscribe three times, but those ‘offers' just keep coming! Put simply, Do Not Use.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
December 2, 2021

They take your money but you never see the product you have paid for, if you are lucky to get hold of someone all you get is the same rubbish over & over again. Over a month I have been trying to find out if/when i will be getting my item to no avail. So trust me you will spend money on a product and then money on P&P but never get the item. Read the other reviews on this company! How they are allowed to trade and steal money off hard working people is beyond me, it is sickening. Scam company! Only gave one star because you couldn't give it none.

AVOID
November 4, 2021

Ordered Oversized Blanket Hoodie (Merchant Hunndo-P)

I redeemed my voucher with the 'merchant' on 18/10/21 and paid £4.99 for delivery.

The estimated delivery was for 27/10/21

I attempted to contact the merchant but they're site advises I needed to contact WOWCHER.

I contact wowcher on 28/10/21 as my delivery hadn't arrived via whatsapp so they emailed the Merchant on my behalf.

I received an email from the merchant advised my package has now been processed yesterday 03/11/21 and is now due 8/11/21

AKA the merchant didn't process my order on 18/10/21 and only processed it yesterday due to Steve at wowcher sending them email on the 28/10/21

The gift was for my daughter, her birthday as been and gone and I'm down £19.99 + £4.99 postage waited over a month for this item.

Spoke to WOWCHER again today and they have to send another email to the merchant which again will take 48/72 hours for response.

All I want is a refund!
