LIVING SOCIAL DEALS….. BE AWARE
I only purchase local deals from Living Social for my area Leeds and Wakefield. However did you know that if you purchase goods and it has to be returned….. they make you return to the manufacturer….NOT the local dealer! I purchased a £169 item and I was unable to even get into it… so had to return it as unusable by myself… I HAD TO SEND IT BACK TO GERMANY AT A COST OF £58.60 TO MYSELF!!! I just want my friends to be aware that a local deal is not always local and you can be scammed!!! DO NOT BUY GOODS FROM THIS COMPANY IF THERE IS EVEN A DOUBT IN YOUR MIND ABOUT IT'S USABILITY!!! I don't know if the goods worked or not as I couldn't get into them to try so I expected to have to pay a return LOCAL delivery charge but £58.60 to have to return it to Germany is totally unacceptable. I did finally manage to get through to LS after trying every link on their site and I did get a fast refund of my £169 but feel badly done to. They should give you more information as to items not being suitable for older people with limited mobility.
