So I have started deleting the daily emails without reading them... I should really just unsub from them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-with-deal-sites#post-152942 Wed, 09 May 2012 13:06:35 +0000 heffalump 152942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily I haven't had any issues. Take the money and get a massage somewhere else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-with-deal-sites#post-152934 Wed, 09 May 2012 13:03:06 +0000 birdofafeather 152934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i try not to buy for services for this exact reason. i purchase gift cards or rentals or exercise classes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-with-deal-sites#post-152842 Wed, 09 May 2012 11:33:54 +0000 mrsjyw 152842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard a lot of these horror stories, so the only deal site purchase I've made is for a photobook america album (that I've yet to use). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-with-deal-sites#post-152767 Wed, 09 May 2012 09:50:38 +0000 LivsMama 152767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you tell them that you had the Twongo deal? Id try calling back again and dont mention it. Say you are calling to book a prenatal massage, and see what they say. If its differet, you have grounds for a refund. Or you could just not mention it till you get there and fork over the voucher. Thats crap </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-with-deal-sites#post-152704 Wed, 09 May 2012 09:04:42 +0000 Shutterbug 152704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummer! I haven't really bought anything from deal sites, but I feel like the deals are always for laser hair removal and bikini waxes, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-with-deal-sites#post-152703 Wed, 09 May 2012 09:03:54 +0000 DillonLion 152703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, that's why I never buy them anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-with-deal-sites#post-152702 Wed, 09 May 2012 09:03:09 +0000 Alivoo01 152702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend had a similar experience. I think it's totally dumb! Don't participate if you don't plan on honoring the deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-with-deal-sites#post-152463 Tue, 08 May 2012 20:39:26 +0000 chopsuey 152463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh that sucks!!! :T I would book another prenatal massage somewhere else once you get your refund! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustration-with-deal-sites#post-152448 Tue, 08 May 2012 20:24:10 +0000 mediagirl 152448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, a month ago, my husband bought me a Twongo deal for a prenatal massage. I finally got ready to book it and the place, that says they are open 6 days a week, 9am to 8pm each of those days, currently says they only have TWO appointment slots available between now and the end of June. And they're during the day. I am SO mad. Now I have to call the spa and complain again, call Twongo and ask for our money back AND I won't be getting my prenatal massage. I'm SO disappointed, it is not even funny. I feel like crying. :-( </p> <p>Anyone else have bad experiences with deal sites like Twongo, Groupon or Living Social? </p>
