Hey everyone,

I know this isn't surprising news however, i'd just like acknowledge the fact that Groupon is selling inauthentic branded products so just keep that in mind when purchasing from them.

As you can see from the posts below, they've had multiple chances throughout 2016 to cut ties with their supplier UDSglobal yet have blatantly continued to deceive their customers.

I've already contacted them about this but I am wondering if there are any consumer watchdogs etc. that I can contact to blow this up because they clearly aren't changing their ways.

Thanks.

Update: received a full refund. Downside is that they're legit continuing to sell the same fake bags https://www.groupon.com.au/deals/my-shop-your-shop-716563858

    Well, Groupon isn't selling the item, isn't it the company you are buying a discount voucher for , the ones selling fake goods?

      True but, the point is that they have had multiple chances to cut ties with the supplier. Ultimately, they're at fault for continuing to sell the vouchers + advertise them as genuine.

      Yes, but they should not endorse sale of counterfeit items.

    I don't think 'rebuff' means what you think it does.

      Thanks, it has been a long day.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't know about this.
