I am rejecting this response because:
Regards,
[redacted] Your $15 credit doesn't make up for the $36 that I paid to buy these cables.   Your shipping information again was not verified correctly because almost a week later, I have not received a package from anyone but just received another fake shipping detail from them.  Being that they're from [redacted], I could've rode my bike up there and back and got my purchase faster and more secure.  1) why am I always given a fake tracking #?   Do you guys actually call and confirm this information or do you just ASSUME its correct AGAIN?2) why are you guys stalling and giving me Bucks credit for less than what I paid if the intention is to never deliver your goods?3) If you DON'T ever intend on delivering the product I ordered then I want a FULL REFUND.  [redacted]

"On September 10, 2014, the Revdex.com received a complaint about LivingSocial from [redacted], Revdex.com Case Number [redacted]. LivingSocial received the complaint on September 11, 2014. [redacted] sent a complaint via the Revdex.com regarding LivingSocial because she...

is unable to run an additional promotion with LivingSocial. We want to thank [redacted] for her past partnership, but after further review of [redacted]'s account, we noticed her last promotion experienced a level of sales that is lower than the requirement we set for our deals. The last promotion ran from September 24, 2013 until January 9, 2014 and sold only 15 vouchers. This amount of vouchers sold in comparison to the amount the deal was available for purchase doesn't meet the requirement for a re-run. 
We hope that this resolves [redacted]'s issue and wish her the best of luck in all her endeavors.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
I am having to reiterate myself that the vouchers sold by living social DID NOT cover the cost of 1 out of 2 classes. By stating it "should have covered" the full cost of both classes does not change the fact that it did not. I have a receipt to prove it, however, no one seems to care to review the facts. I am done with arguing with lovng social because they continue to fail in being held accountable for the vouchers they sold to me. I do not want to discuss this matter further like I have stated in my previous message as this discussion will lead to an unresolved matter. I will just take this as a lesson learned to never do business with a company who does not value honesty in the products they sell to their consumers and does not take pride in correcting issues as they arise.

On November 19, 2015, the Revdex.com received a
complaint about LivingSocial from [redacted], Revdex.com Case Number [redacted].
LivingSocial received the complaint on November 19, 2015. [redacted] sent a
complaint via the Revdex.com regarding...

LivingSocial because she is
unhappy with the time it took her deal to run on LivingSocial.com and she feels
her deal was placed in the wrong category.
LivingSocial apologizes for any frustration. When [redacted] reached out to us to run a promotion, she let us know that she wanted
her deal to run like another deal we have listed on LivingSocial.com. The deal
is a Live Event that allows consumers to redeem their vouchers on the merchant’s
website. We were able to assist her in setting her deal up to run in a similar
fashion. Due to some different issues, it took longer than expected to run [redacted]’s deal. She initially set her deal up with LivingSocial on September
22, 2015, and the deal went live on our site on October 29, 2015.
[redacted] spoke with a Merchant Services representative, Benjamin, while
working on her deal. He ensured that her deal was set up as she wanted. She
also requested a specific photo carousel, which Benjamin was able to set up for
her as well. At the time she spoke with him, there had been no mention of this
deal being listed as anything other than a Live Event.
On November 18, 2015, [redacted] sent an email to
LivingSocial Merchant Services advising she was upset that her deal listed as a
Live Event. At this time, she made the decision to remove her deal from
LivingSocial. [redacted] had requested her deal be modeled exactly like
another deal we were running. We assisted her with setting up her deal
similarly to this merchant. [redacted] approved a mock-up of her deal that
showed her deal would be running under our ‘Events and Activities’ category.
With this approval, we ran her deal as a Live Event, following the specific
guidelines she requested.
If [redacted] has further questions regarding her deal and
how it was ran, we suggest she reaches out to LivingSocial Merchant Services at
###-###-####.
We hope that this resolves [redacted]'s issue.

Sarah

On May 6,
2014, the Revdex.com received a complaint about LivingSocial from
[redacted], Revdex.com Case Number [redacted]. LivingSocial received the complaint
on May 7, 2014. **. [redacted] sent a complaint via the Better...

Business Bureau
regarding LivingSocial because she purchased a voucher for a merchant named
[redacted] on March 25, 2014 for $9 as a gift and the item was never received
by the gift recipient. **. [redacted] also claims that there were unanticipated
shipping fees that were paid directly by the gift recipient that have not been
refunded. **. [redacted]’s second complaint is that her refund was issued in Deal
Bucks and not to the original payment method. She made an additional purchase
on LivingSocial using these Deal Bucks for a merchant named [redacted] on April
22, 2014.  **. [redacted] redeemed this voucher
on April 23, 2014 and as of May 6, 2014 when the complaint was filed, she had
not received her order, but had received confirmation from [redacted] that the
item would be shipped on May 7, 2014.
LivingSocial
has reviewed **. [redacted]’s complaint and would like to apologize for any
inconvenience she has experienced thus far. In review of this complaint, we
have confirmed that all shipping costs that are due directly to each merchant
are defined in the Fine Print of the deal, which is made available prior to, as
well as after purchase. **. [redacted] contacted LivingSocial on April 2, 2014 for
assistance with requesting the status of her order. LivingSocial advised her of
the standard two week time-frame for the order to be delivered.  This information is also outlined in the Fine
Print.
If the
voucher was redeemed on the same day it was purchased by **. [redacted], the delivery
date would be April 8, 2014. Since the two week time frame had not yet expired,
LivingSocial asked **. [redacted] to allow the merchant the stated time to deliver
the item. On April 18, 2014, **. [redacted] reached back out to LivingSocial to let
us know that she still had not received her order. Once this response was
received by LivingSocial, we emailed **. [redacted] to offer a refund in the form of
Deal Bucks, along with an additional credit of 5 Deal Bucks for the amount paid
directly to [redacted] for shipping. **. [redacted] replied to our email on April 18,
2014 to accept this refund offer, which was processed the following day, April
19, 2014. Due to the situation, a refund of $9 has been processed back to **. [redacted]’s
original method of payment.   
We
understand **. [redacted]’s frustration with the shipping charges being credited in
the form of courtesy Deal Bucks. Since LivingSocial did not directly charge **.
[redacted]’s account for the shipping costs, we aren’t able to refund this amount.
Due to the item not being received, we have credited 5 additional courtesy Deal
Bucks to her account. Due to the delay in the shipment of **. [redacted]’s order with
[redacted], we have credited 4 additional courtesy Deal Bucks to her
LivingSocial account. This is to help compensate for the shipping charged by
[redacted].

Review: I purchased 2 Living Social Vouchers for a Concealed Handgun Class at the [redacted] in [redacted]. I purchased one for myself and one for a friend as a gift. When I scheduled the class and tried to redeem the voucher they didn't work. I contacted the merchant, [redacted], and was told the problem was with Living Social. I contacted Living Social and they said it was the merchants problem. Eventually Living Social offered "Deal Bucks" as a refund. I asked what that was and received no explanation. I requested they contact [redacted] to try and figure out the problem and they would not. I requested a refund back to my credit card for the amount I paid for the vouchers and they have not responded.Desired Settlement: Refund back to my credit card for the amount I paid for the vouchers.

Response:

Review: I purchased a voucher from living social for a stylus pen set which I then attempted to redeem with a company called "[redacted]" whom I would also like to file this same complaint against since I paid them an additional $2.95 shipping/handling fee. I received a confirmation email from said company on 12/6 stating that my order was successful and to allow up to 3 weeks for delivery. I hadn't received it so sent them my 1st email to [redacted] around the beginning of January. They didn't respond to my 1st email so I emailed them again on 1/27. This time they responded that my order would now be shipped and to allow 1-2 weeks. I sent 3rd email 2/21 advising I never received my order and would like a refund. They responded the next day that upon checking my order was already "in transit" and to allow 7 days to receive it. In the meantime I also contacted livingsocial about the matter twice and both times was referred back to executive pen stylus even though they sold me the voucher for I believe $8.95. My last email to the shipping company was 3/9 again advising I haven't received the order and asking for refund. They have yet to respond to my latest email.Desired Settlement: I would not only like full refunds from both business's but would also like livingsocial to issue me a credit with them for $40 for the time and aggravation I've taken out of my busy life to deal with this matter and the poor customer service they've subjected me to.

Review: I ordered a 90 minute massage for 30 dollars on Living Social. The masseuse, who was simultaneously running two living social deals, had very limited availability. I contacted Living Social and was told that there was a no refund policy. They suggested I "gift" it to a friend. I tried to gift it to a friend, but was unsuccessful. I contacted living social informing them that I was unable to gift it and was informed that this purchase could not be gifted. ARRGH!

Living Social provided a "deal" that was purchased by so many people that appointments were extremely limited. I don't appreciate their lack of willingness to accommodate given the situation.Desired Settlement: I want my money back.

On April 1, 2013, the

Revdex.com received a complaint about LivingSocial from [redacted],

Revdex.com Case Number [redacted]. LivingSocial received the complaint on April 3,

2013. [redacted] sent a complaint via the Revdex.com regarding

LivingSocial because she purchased a voucher for a 90-minute massage from

[redacted] on December 24, 2012 for $20. She is requesting a refund

because the merchant’s available times did not work for [redacted].

Per LivingSocial’s

terms (livingsocial.com/terms), a refund may only be issued within seven days

of purchase or if the merchant goes out of business. [redacted]’s request is

outside of the refund policy. Appointments are subject to the availability of

the merchant. While we apologize that [redacted]’s preferred dates and times

were not available, the merchant has an online scheduler showing availability

and [redacted] needed to schedule within that availability. As a courtesy

outside of policy, the purchase has been refunded in Deal Bucks as a credit to

her LivingSocial account. She may use this credit towards future purchases.

We hope that this

resolves [redacted]’s issue.

Review: I bought a living social deal for a house cleaning from [redacted] in [redacted] for $59 dollars. The company never returned phone calls to schedule appointments. When I asked living social for help, they sent links to book online, which I did, but again no one ever showed up when I rearranged work schedules to be home. Living Social offered a $10 refund but I expect a full refund since the company they agreed to work with and sell a deal with never deelivered. I am completely dissatisfied with [redacted] and also very dissatisfied by the lack of customer service from Living Social in addressing the issue.Desired Settlement: A full $59 refund to my credit card or check.

Review: Purchased a voucher off of Living Social on May 12. Immediately contacted the vendor to redeem. They stated that due to the volume of purchases, the first available date for service was September 9th. We agreed to that date, and they were to arrive between 11am-2pm. They never showed. We proceeded to contact the vendor, and was told they were unable to arrive, but would come out September 23rd between noon - 2pm. They were to call before they came. Here again, they never called and never showed. We have now taken off of work twice, and neither time has the vendor showed. We have made calls over the last seven days, and emailed the company. They are still in business, yet not returning any correspondence. We have not been threatening or ugly, we simply wanted our services per the agreement. They now have almost pushed us out past the voucher date, to where we will not get the full value. We contacted Living Social and were told that unfortunately they could not do anything for us, and that had we wanted a refund, we had to request it within 7 days of the voucher purchase date. We wanted our service, but apparently they do not prescreen or qualify their merchants before signing them up for these promotions. We will not be purchasing anything from Living Social again until they redeem our funds or provide a full credit. At this point, should the vendor arrive, they will probably provide cleaning services on par with their customer service levels.Desired Settlement: Refund my voucher purchase value, since the vendor has not fulfilled their end of the agreement, and does not have the courtesy to even respond to their poor professionalism.

[redacted] sent a complaint via the Revdex.com regarding LivingSocial because he purchased a voucher on May 12, 2013 for $74 and has experienced some trouble receiving services for the voucher.

Review: I contacted LivingSocial.com (LS) several times about a client, [redacted], who had purchased two deals for massage therapy. [redacted] was aggressive, demanding and harassing - I called LS originally because I was not comfortable with how the client was treating our staff. We spoke with her on several occasions (all documented) and provided email correspondence with availability for massage. The deals were purchased 8/30/12. The purchaser called with less than 1 month for the "deal" to expire demanding a massage outside of normal business hours (after 7pm). [redacted] was provided several dates and times for massage, including weekends. She booked her massage, and less than one week to the expiration date (3/4/13) she called to let us know LS had refunded her and to cancel her appointment. At no time did LS contact us to inquire about accomodating this client. LS has not honored our contract (not once, but twice). They originally were to send a majority of the payment for deals purchased, but issued payment well beyond the agreed upon date. Additionally the remaining balance now shows a reduction due to the "refund" for [redacted]. The Refund Policy on the deals purchased stipulates for the client "LivingSocial will provide a refund if you contact us within seven days after you've purchased your voucher. AFter that, we provide refund upon requess in cases where you are unable to redeem a boucher because the merchant has gone out of business before the promotional period ends." We have not gone out of business. The refund was provided to a harassing and unrelenting customer without contacting me or my team to determine if there was any validity to her claim - which there was not. We provided several dates of service, and the customer only wanted a time outside of our normal business hours.Desired Settlement: I would like the full amount due $382.80 due 3/14/13 to be sent immediately. I will not do business nor will I recommend LivingSocial; my experience has been terrrible with this company.

Review: I purchased a voucher for a two hour luxury electric boat rental at [redacted], voucher # [redacted], which expired May 30,2012. I made multiple attempts to contact the merchant to make arrangements for the boat rental and was never able to get through on the # provided by Living Social [redacted]. I then contacted Living Social ([redacted]) and explained to them my situation, they said they would contact the merchant and get back to me with a resolution. They never contacted me back and I still was never able to get through to the merchant. This voucher was paid in full and the experation date came & went without a resolution. My fiance [redacted] has also attempted to email the help line twice without one response back ([redacted]). My problems are: I paid for a product that was never available (false advertisement), I never recieved any help to resolve the issue from Living Social after multiple attempts through phone & email so now this has turned into a customer service issue. I want a full refund, not a credit only a full refund.Desired Settlement: To collect the full amount of money I paid for this voucher/service. Acknowledgment that they dropped the ball on both their customer service practices and products/services they're offering to the public.

8, 2013. [redacted] sent a complaint via the Revdex.com regarding

LivingSocial because he purchased a voucher for an electric boat rental from

refund because he was not able to contact the merchant prior to the expiration

of the voucher and he did not feel that he got help from LivingSocial when he

contacted us.

LivingSocial

apologizes for [redacted]’s difficulty. Per LivingSocial’s terms

(livingsoical.com/terms), a refund may only be issued within seven days of

purchase or if the merchant has gone out of business, so [redacted]’s request is

outside of the refund policy. The voucher instructions state, “Print out

voucher and bring to establishment.” Reservations or arrangements were not

required, so while we are sorry that [redacted] had trouble getting in touch with

the merchant, that step was not a necessary part of using the voucher. Also, we

provide the merchant’s website where [redacted] can find more information, such

as an alternate phone number as well as an email address.

As a courtesy outside

of policy, the purchase has been refunded in Deal Bucks as a credit to [redacted]’s

LivingSocial account. He can apply this credit toward future purchases.

We hope that this

resolves [redacted]’s issue.

Review: I purchased a voucher from Living Social for a hypnosis session from [redacted]. When I called the Center to schedule an appointment, I left messages but these were never answered. When I was unable to schedule the appt. by the expiration date, I contacted Living Social and was told they could not do anything about this. I finally reached the merchant. He apologized for not returning the call and scheduled an appt. I completed the requested online medical history. When I came for the appt., the office door was locked. I called the number and reached a female who gave me the new office address, a few doors down. I entered this office which was deserted except for a voice I could hear in the distance. I was still on the phone and the female I had reached said someone would be with me soon. After waiting in this deserted office for over a half hour. I was very uncomfortable being in the office with no one else. I finally followed the sound of the voices I had heard and was told by a gentleman there, very rudely, to wait in the waiting room. When he finally came to get me, I let him know how uncomfortable I felt and he asked if I would like a refund instead of a session. After all I had been through, I agreed since I felt this was a very unprofessional atmosphere. I contacted Living Social about the refund and they told me to wait a few days. When no refund appeared, I again contacted them and was told that they did not intend to refund me and Living Social said they could do nothing about it. I feel that basically they were happy to take my money but not allow me to obtain the service they offered.Desired Settlement: I would like to have Living Social refund the voucher because, as I did not contact them originally until the expiration date, I had been trying and expecting to receive an appointment from the provider but this did not happen. After that, the merchant told me he would process a refund but then told Living Social they would not. I feel LS has not protected me when I made a purchase that was unable to be carried out.

Review: I purchased a living social for [redacted]. On the the advertised portion it stated: $39 (regularly $99) for one month of kids' group-fitness classes.

So I bought this item thinking that I could use it for more than one class per week, that I had 1 month of classes for my child. It does state it is limited to 1 class per week, or only 4 classes.

This item was clearly misrepresented to me and I want a refund or a credit in my account.

I would never spend $10 per class for something I never tried before. I thought I could sign my daughter up for more than 1 class per week, even up to 3 or 4.Desired Settlement: This item was clearly misrepresented to me and I want a refund or a credit in my account.

Review: I purchased a voucher for a winery tour from [redacted] through the Living Social website. It is cold in the fall months so I tried to book the trip in February knowing that the promotional value of the voucher expires in May. However, I have not been able to get a response from this company either through email or by telephone after leaving repeated voicemail messages. After four voice messages and three emails over the course of two and a half months I have never received a call or been contacted by [redacted]. I tried last week to contact Living Social about this matter and their entire customer service is shut done by phone because of a recent computer hacking incident. I sent a email to their customer service as they instructed me over the phone prompt and was told that they couldn't refund my account.I asked for a manger in the resulting emails and never received a response. Several days later I received an email stating that my account was going to be closed. I never authorized or even asked for this to happen. I simply want a refund because they sold a product to me on their website and the vendor does not respond by phone or email. It is false advertising to advertise a deal online and that company never honors the contract. I simply want a refund for a service that never was provided. I need your assistance and would appreciate any help you could provide in this matter.Desired Settlement: I would like a full refund because Red River Wineries is non responsive by phone or email.

the merchant and they are licensed, bonded, insured, and in compliance with all

Georgia state and Atlanta city licensing/insurance/bond laws. [redacted]’

move took three hours longer than the voucher covered and she was informed this

would be the case prior to service being performed. She also signed a waiver

stating she agreed to the additional charges and signed a waiver stating that

nothing was damaged. The merchant deducted one hour as a courtesy, due to [redacted]’ frustration.

I am rejecting this response because: no proof was submitted that the company was licensed, bonded nor insured. I did not sign a document stating that I had no damage, and no proof was supplied. Taking a business owner's word is what caused LivingSocial to end up in this situation to begin with.

Review: I purchased a coupon for a massage thru LivingSocial May, 2012 with an expiration date of 2/13/13. I called the service provider the week prior to the expiration. I was told she wasn't taking anymore appts for that coupon but was extending it (for a month thru Mar and then thru April) and would put me on a waiting list. 3 months later she has never called me with an opening. I called her a number of times but she would never book me out into the future. I sent the details to Living Social but they will not refund my money even after providing me a letter where they had told the owner she should honor the promotional value.

Much better customer service from [redacted] and [redacted]. I will not do busines with Living Social again. $35 down the drain.Desired Settlement: I would like Living Social to refund the money I paid them via credit card for a massage coupon that the masseuse has not honored.

Review: I purchased 3 hours of house cleaning for $45. The people providing the service either has a phone message box that is full or, when it's not, never call back. Living Social's response has been insufficient, saying only that they believe the people will return my calls to make an appointment before the offer expires. So have that has not happened.Desired Settlement: Ideally, the people would return my calls and make an appointment and clean my condo. At this point, however, I doubt this will happen--or if it does, that the people would ever show up for the appointment. I think the best solution would be to refund my money. I realize Living Social will not do this, but that seems like the best solution.
