Lesson Learned....

One lesson I learned & will NOT forget - In the tone of Taylor Swift (in her song - We are never ever getting back together) "I am never ever ever ever going to buy one damn shit thing from Groupon! No matter how cheap it is" There! I got it out in one breath full! 

My item is still on the way! A MYR49.00 iPhone set! That was claimed to have been discounted by 60% - well its all load of lies that I fall for! Market Price is just MYR41.00 and I bet they could get it cheaper inspite them operating online or getting in bulk! Ok! Price aside, should be focusing on the item delivery! In the rules and regulation the seller promise a within 3 weeks delivery and I am ok with it! Now what?!? Its been almost 2 months and I get emails after emails regarding the delay. At first it was due to the Raya break! Then the second delay was due to over-demand (You call 70 items sold an over demand?!?)  Then came the third email due to custom giving them problem! (Well I deal with custom as well! In fact my items are taxable items while theirs are duty free! - I do not see custom giving them any problem at all! Through my experience of importing items from various countries like Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong & USA - I get very minimum problems as the custom would only requires you to pay the certain taxable amount (if your items are taxable) if not usually the release will be immediate! So custom giving you problem?! What problem? Then came this morning delay item notice without any reason - my item will only be delivered end of this month! What? that will be freaking 2 and half months to get a MYR49.00 stuff?!?  

I try writing to Groupon and the answer I get is "Once the deal is effective, chasing of goods or any inquiries should be between the buyer and seller! Groupon will not be involved in it" Well THANK YOU VERY MUCH! What is the use of using Groupon when you don't care whether the seller is authentic or not? What is the use of you when you didnt check properly whether they have the items and whether their inventory is available or not!!! BULLSHIT! 

Trust me! I am very devastated & I guess I have to give up hoping.. They should be thankful they have customers like me who doesnt give a hoot! I have a customer last week! Pos Malaysia delay her item for 1 day and she start jumping at me accusing me of cheating her money and asked me to make a report to Pos Malaysia for "Barang Hilang" (The value of her things ?!  MYR30.00) Well tell you there are all kinds of people out there and people that sell on Groupon are majority "Shupid"
