I am a fan of group buying sites. This saves me a lot. I normally buy stuffs for relaxation such as
massages and fun activities. We don’t
use group buying sites for travels and gadgets – as this is a risky
business. So how do I really save on
group buying sites?
·
Sign up and receive
updates – so you will be updated on
all the new deals, you need to sign up on group buying sites.
·
Compare prices
– check the other group buying sites if they offer lower costs.
·
Validate with the
Merchant – it’s a must to validate the
deals with the merchant. They may not be
offering the same deal that the group buying site offers. I personally experienced this. The group buying site offered a massage
treatment and asked me to choose a branch where I like to avail the
services. Lo and behold, when I reserved,
the merchant told me that the deal was for another branch L
·
Cross-check Deals with
the Merchant – this is a bit different
with validating. In validating you asked
the merchant if the deal that the group buying site offers is valid. With cross-checking, you check if you really
get discounts or promos with the group buying sites. Most of the times, the group buying site will
tell you, 50% off, and when you check the merchant’s website, they have an
ongoing promo worth lesser than 50% off.
·
Complaints
– don’t hesitate on giving out complaints.
You should get the services you paid for. While it’s good to rant on internet publicly
so others will not have the same negative experiences as you have, I highly
suggest you complain directly with the group buying site and make sure to copy
DTI in all your conversations. Email address:
