Giant Bean Bag from Groupon

I am thoroughly p***ed off with Groupon. My husband wanted to surprise me for my birthday which was 15th Jan with a SnuggleWrap Blanket which he bought through Groupon. He placed the order in December already. We are still waiting. It was something I had wanted since seeing it on the Groupon Deals email and, when I asked him in February if we could buy it, he had to stop me from making a second purchase by telling me about the surprise. So now, 11th March we are STILL waiting for the purchase. He calls everyday other day and sends daily emails. Every response is the same automated response. He finally got through to a Supervisor (or so he was told) and she told him that they are very behind with all their deliveries because the Courier company they have been using has gone bankrupt. Every reply from them, they seem to be blaming someone else or external factors and they just don't want to deliver anything. On Thursday morning some chap called my DH in the morning and said they have a SnuggleWrap Blanket for delivery please can he confirm his delivery address. He did this and the chap said he would deliver it that afternoon. It's Sunday and still nothing. I've not had any problems with them before and I'm a huge voucher shopper and deals grabber. But I am heading home next week for a vacation and it's still pretty cool in North Germany, so this item would have come in handy

Just to update everyone, we finally received our bean bad about 10 days ago..hmmphh..the courier who brought to us didn't even have it wrapped in plastic or anything to show it was new/unused ..it was literally dragged on the floor all the way to our flat so was covered with streaks of dust when we got it It is comfortable though and my 5 yr old as well as my DH love it for playing their playstation games, etc but really don't think it was worth AED 200..oh well..thank god it actualyr arrived at some point! hope the rest of you had happy endnings..

I had the same problem. Waited about 6 or 7 weeks for delivery. I contacted the supplier directly in the end and took delivery within a week of emailing them. worth a try.

Ringing out all morning :( If I didn't want a bean bag so much I'd just cancel it with Groupon & get a refund...

Hi, If you can get through on the telephone you should have a positive response. The original guy left not leaving anyone's details. Once I got through the bean bag arrived the next day in the colour I ordered. Good luck - I was waiting but kept calling!

Don't know what their excuse is for mine- I KNOW they have the correct info as I made very sure to fill it in properly!! Just wish they could give me a date, don't care if it's in 2 weeks or not, just so I can make sure someone is here to get it!

I had the same problem initially. Ordered mine in November, had to chase up on the delivery, then they said I would receive by 15 December, heard nothing. Went on holiday and when I returned I still had not heard anything. Had to follow up another 2 times before I received the bean bag. I ordered the black one, it is huge! My advice is to keep chasing up, even though it is not your job to in the first place, but it is the only way unfortunately!

Which deal is this for- the giant one or the '6 colours' one? Still waiting for mine but have been away so wondering if the call from 'unknown number' was them telling me they tried to deliver?

this is really bad..the phone line is just continuously busy and zero response on email. They have our email addresses and were very quick to debit our cards so you would think if theer was delay they could at least send us an email and let us know..very disappointing and a shame as I have never had problems with groupon before but have to admit this is the first (and last!) time i am buying a tangible item..usually go for service-type deals/meals, etc..

By any chance did you ask for black. Im just about to ask for mine, and really dont want any other colour. How did you get the head offices phone number? MY DH will kill me if I let another Groupon voucher go unused.

hi there, I sent an email originally when I placed my order and got no confirmation which bothered me, I followed it up a few weeks later, again no response. I got worried when the mobile number was switched off immediately after I called then went online and called the main office. Got through, they had my order then said it would be delivered within a week. On the day of delivery I got a call saying the colour I had requested was not available so choose another one which I did and despite them saying it would be delivered the next day it was not! I was losing faith when out of the blue the next day, got a call and a very nice young chap dropped off my huge bag at my house at 7 that night with apologies for any confusion. it is massive and although not the colour I wanted, am pretty happy as it is a gift! Try calling the main office.

Did anybody purchase and receive the giant bean bag from Groupon in November? I have not received my bean bag and cannot get a reply from the mobile number on the Groupon voucher.
