I purchased the deal from My Diet Loss. I had a few issues as i was putting the wrong code into the My Diet Loss website. When i called they were very helpfull and i recieved my order the very next day. I have started the plan and the products are the best diet meal replacment packs i have tasted. It is also the best variety i have seen so far. Cant praise the office staff at My Diet Loss highly enough and the delivery was excellent - well recommended!!!!
I ordered my print from digitalcanvasprinting.co.uk it never came, I was told it was coming in 10 days and apologies but the owner had been very unwell, it never came, then they didn't seem to know anything about it, then it was on its way, then it wasn't coming and I would get a refund, then he can't refund my postage as he hasn't got any cheques.
Does anyone know how to legally pursue this company? I am now at the point I do not believe he was unwell and feel it is a disgusting excuse to use one people!
Deal companies should have a responsibility to check the companies are legitimate and able to deliver the goods.
I also hate the KGB system of making a complaint, your cant just email or talk to someone. I will never use them again. When I have had problems with living social deals I have managed to easily contact someone that resolved it quickly.
I bougth the deal from them, never receive it. Customer service is not helpful. Never get refund. Please avoid this website.
The deals is completed rip me off . I purchase 2x Three-night Barcelona via Clear Sky Holidays. Holiday actual cost only worth £234 but they charge me more than £400.
After you purchased the deal via this site, you are unable to request refund. The only way is you have to paid extra surcharge as Clear Sky Holidays demand. Otherwise, your deals will be dismissed. I am so so regret to buy this holiday via KGBDEAL
|I can't speak more highly of this company - my husband and I were due to go away this weekend and because of the adverse weather conditions had to cancel at the last minute. The hotel were unable to move our reservation, and KGB couldn't have been more helpfu. They have provided a full money refund, which is now in our bank account. I would definitely use them again. 5 star service - thank you:)
(CUSTOMER SERVICE NON EXISTANT ) and I ( DID NOT RECEIVE MY ORDER ) , DO NOT PLACE AN ORDER WITH THIS DISPICABLE COMPANY . YOU WILL BE LUCKY TO RECEIVE WHAT YOU ORDER !!!!!!!! READ THE REST OF THE NEGATIVE REVEIWS ON THIS SITE . WHICH CONFIRMS MY OWN COMMENTS .
i bought 3 lots of gillette razors in february which i have still never received yet & to top it all i purchased them for friends & family who are furious & i have only received 2 confirmation e mails can any1 give me a fone numbi 4 kgbdeals as av emailed them numerous times & i huv not had a reply
I tried to get a refund for an unused voucher within their cancellation period and was given numerous excuses for delay, trying to take me over the time.
It took 6 weeks and a registered letter thretaening small claims court for them to move.
TRY IT Just send them a threat of small claims court and you will get a response.
WOULD NEVER USE AGAIN, THERE ARE PLEANTY OF OTHER VOUCHER SITES
What an abysmal company. Poor customer service that is more intent on sending you to their website which sends you round in round in circles and not making any effort to rectify your complaint. Poor company, poor customer service and a dreadful way to take money off people with no hope of ever complying with trading laws.
Company was http://www.lilynicole.co.uk
Have bought a couple of hotel breaks, when I have tried to book them, there have not been any suitable dates (if any) left.
Save your time and energy book through a hotel booking site and save yourself a lot of hassle.
NEVER received order. Vague replies back, would not refund money after merchant wouldn't deliver. The merchant billed for shipping and didn't ship. (Koshi Store was the merchant, they are just as bad as KGBdeals)
Bought a restaurant voucher from kgb , cannot ever contact restaurant New York cut liverpool , basically they take your money and then do not want to know , I have bought from living social and groupon and never had a problem , do not spend your hard earned cash with kgb deals , CON MERCHANTS ! Does not even deserve 1 star ! Do not use kgb deals if you want to use the item you buy !
I ordered an item for my daughter, advertised as 'perfect christmas gift' on the 28th November. When i still hadn't recieved the item towards the end of Decamber i contacted them and was told it was being sent out on Christmas Eve. When i had STILL not recieved it two weeks later I wwas told they'd send it on the 11th Janbuary. I am STILL waiting and being fobbed off.
I can see that I am not the only person this has hapenned too which means they are making an awful lot of money from people, without having to supply the goods.
Totally discusted with them and will be letting others know.
THERE ARE SO MANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS I COULD MAKE ABOUT KGB DEALS BUT TO GET AN IDEA OF THE MANY, MANY PEOPLE THEY HAVE RIPPED OFF, I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU HAVE A LOOK AT THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE, SAYS IT ALL. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
ordered the item from http://digitalcanvasprinting.co.uk/ during the start of nov 2012 and it still DID NOT arrive for xmas, no response, no call pick up and no emails. still it hasnt arrived and its 27th Dec 2012!!!
I ordered 2 tablets through KGB and Bonorex on 18th November was told 21 days for delivery they have never arrived.
I emailed as they do not have a customer service number received an email back but still no goods. These were for my grandchildren and they now don't have an Xmas pressie I disgusted with them!
I have been waiting for a refund since 4th December 2012. I have emailed them daily still no refund. The merchant went out of business and I have asked for a refund as per there terms and conditions. They have not given me a refund as yet. I have reported them to my Bank as my debit card is insured. I have reported them to Watch Dog and currently Trading Standards are helping me.
I got a deal through kgb for an A1 Canvas print from digitalcanvasprinting.co.uk
here is the current ordeal, letter to kgb:-
Hello Just to let you know I will be informing trading standards over this issue but before I do I want to know what help you can offer. I ordered this deal from yourselves ‘An A1 size personalised canvas print from digitalcanvasprinting.co.uk.
This was used on the 23 of October, your KGB page states delivery is within 5 working days which was the main appeal for me as it was my anniversary in 3 weeks and I wanted a unique gift. After purchasing the deal I found on the web link attached to the voucher in very small font ‘Due to the nature of the KGB offer we may become heavily oversubscribed, which could lead to delays of up to at least 15 working days’ I was disappointed at this but went ahead as I believed there was still a good chance I would receive my purchase in time. I also spent extra money on the site upgrading the canvas to a full wrap/gallery frame with a matt laminate for an extra cost of £10.00 with also a £9.90 delivery charge on top.
By the 15th of November ’17 working days after the order date’ I contacted the company by email as the contact number on the site went straight to answer phone and was unable to leave a message due to it being full. I inquired about my order and asked for an estimated delivery date, as it was now past the 15 days.
My reply from Steve Perkins was:
“we have some delays at the moment due to the huge amount of orders we have received we are working through these and your canvas should be with you in the next 5 working days”
I accepted this and waited. 26 working days later on the 27th of November I contacted Steve again as I still had not received my canvas, I requested proof of my order progress and delivery as I now intended the gift to be used as my partner’s birthday present for the 5th of December.
Again I received another email:
“we are running behind at the moment just because of the sheer number of orders we have received, yours will be with you in the next 5-7 working days, I will get this to you for the 5th December “
So yet again no proof was shown that my canvas had been processed and that the previous email on the 15 of November was a lie.
I contacted Steve again by email two days ago as the phone number still doesn’t work, I am yet have a reply. It has now been 38 working days later and the third month in from the order date, I have no longer faith in this company that I will be receiving my canvas and your advertised deal. I have research this issue and found that I am not the only one who has been disappointed and mislead by digitalcanvasprinting.co.uk. KGB ran the same deal in 2011 and had the same problems I want to know why you would risk your reputation and customer satisfaction in renewing this deal in 2012?
As well as numerous other people, I am fed up with this company and want you to contact Steve Perkins regarding my order id 14183. I want either a definite delivery date and tracking proof my order has been dispatched or a full refund of my order including the KGB voucher. I have been lied to repeatedly and will not tolerate it no longer.
I'm still yet to hear anything, save yourself the hassle and dont bother with KGB deal or any associated comapany there customer service is non existent and you just be scamed out of your hard earned money.
If KGB would like to contact me about my issue and take some responsibility:-

I have purchased two items now that have never turned up and one item that did eventually arrive but faulty. Customer service is shocking and the companies they seem to work with to produce the deals are just as bad. My mum purchased an Austen Lewis fold up bike back in the summer in August 2012 and we are now a few days off December and it still hasn't arrived this is meant to be a Xmas present and cost over £120 both companies are now not responding to emails and they don't seem to care about it. She was offered a refund but this was in September and thinking she still had plenty of time to receive the bike just said she would still be happy for them to send it out. 2 months later and nothing!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY IF YOU SEE A DEAL YOU LIKE MY ADVISE CONTACT THE COMPANY DIRECT AND PAY THEM DIRECT. At least that way you get to know if the company selling the goods is even real. I have tried to get a phone number for Austen Lewis the people selling the bike and they are not listed on directory enquirers or have any phone number on their website very strange way of running a business.
I cannot understand how this company is still in business. They obviously deal with other idiot businesses, as I have ordered two products that have not turned up TWO MONTHS after ordering them. Not for my lack of trying... follow up emails, and calls that are never answered. It's just ridiculous, and looking at other reviews from people using this company, I simply cannot get my head around how KGB get away with this level of service? It's an absolute rip off. As soon as I get my two refunds I will be cancelling my account immediately with them.
I made a purchase for argan oil and was unable to order the product on the merchants website , I told KGB 4 times, they told me it was fixed 3 times, lies, no it wasn't! On the 4th occasion when I demanded a refund (it was only £10) I was told No! as the deal had expired, the deal expired during the complaint and I was not able to make the purchase.. There is no telephone number to call, except an 08000 one that has a message that all the operators are busy 'helping' other customers (yeah, whatever!) and to email, I don't want to email to complain, it gets me nowhere. So, in conclusion, there are better and more reliable, customer friendly deal companies out there. Steer clear of this one...I have pasted a copy of the response last received for KGB so they know which dissatisfied customer has reviewed them, this is important as I can see from other reviews they have many, many dissatisfied customers

Having booked and purchased a deal for coktails and a platter and made the trip to London with my daughter for her B'day, I was turned away by the merchants who said that KGB had fraudulantly used their name to advertise a deal that was not done! I had tried to ring them from outside this same place and deal, with no joy . I also sent 2 e'mails and like several others mentioned on facebook, we too had to travel at great expense and to add salt to the wound had even rung the Merchant prior who did not mention that there would be a problem at all. However when we got there we were informed that KGB had fraudulently us
ed their n
ame to advertise the deal and that KGB had not seeked their permission! We were turned away and had to go elsewhere for our drinks!! This is totally unacceptable and I will be not only seeking a refund for the deal but also our fares to London. I am still awaiting for a reply from KGB.
This is not the first time that I have had an issue with yourselves re; purchased deals and it looks like it happens a lot!! I wonder whether watchdog might be interested?
How long wil one have to wait to get a respond, tried to ring, e'mail and fb??!! Be very careful when using them.. perhaps ring the merchant first and ensure it is a proper offer.
DO NOT USE THIS SITE, THEY ADVERTISE FRAUDULENT COMPANIES. BOUGHT A BED FROM ONE OF THERE OFFFER, FROM A SO-CALLED STAFFORSHIRE FURNITURE SHOP BACK IN APRIL. NEVER RECEIVED THE GOODS TO DATES!!! COMPANY IGNORED ALL EMAILS FROM ME AND WHEN I TURNED TO KGB TO HELP THEY CANT BE BOTHERED! APPARENTLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS BEEN SCAMMED BY THIS OFFER.
KGB ARE MOST UNHELPFUL AND UNSUPPORTIVE, AND YOU CANT EVEN GET TO SPEAK TO AN ACTUAL HUMAN! THEY MAKE FALSE PROMISES AND NEVER KEEP THEIR WORD.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
Thats right, I purchased 4 different items from KGB Deals and 3 of them never were delivered!! I purchased an iPod car Transmitter...never received. I purchased jewelry...never received. I purchased an iPhone Clutch Wallet...never received. After I did finally get a refund for the transmitter, thats when I gave them the benefit of a doubt because I know things happen and could possibly get lost in the mail...So I ordered 2 more times. Worst idea ever. These purchases were the jewelry and wallet that I have yet to recieve. They also refuse to give a refund! I have asked multiple times to get refunded but they assure me that the items are being shipped. When I asked for a tracking number for the jewelry, they said the merchant didn't provide one because of the small size but, funny, when I kept emailing about how I still hadn't received them and wanted my refund, miraculously they were able to muster up a tracking number and said the delivery was received. Pretty much calling me a liar because, no, I still did not get it! They told me to go see my local post office for information.....so now I am supposed to go drive to hunt down my package I purchased that was supposed to be delivered to my door? I don't think so! What company says that?! I want my refund and still waiting for an email response.
Maybe theres package stealing fairies around my house that I didn't know about that only want to steal items shipped from KGB Deals... because clearly, they didn't want anything else that was ever shipped to me by other companies. Clearly, there is no reason for me to lie about a package not shipped.
I want nothing to do with this KGB Deals and will pass along this awful experience! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. Use Groupon!...they are awesome and their customer service is great!
Have an issue with them that has gone on for nearly four weeks. They do not respond to emails, they are unhelpful. They take your money at thge merchant but do not deliver. Have unsubscribed and advised friends to do the same. Do not use them.
I have 'taken advantage' of two deals from KGB. The first was misrepresented - what some people might call fraudulent; the second, after 8 weeks, I have seen no sign of delivery. Their customer service is non-existent, I've emailed them over and over, they just don't bother to reply. And I regret to say, we're talking about quite a lot of money here.
Take it from me, learn from my pain, these people are to be avoided. If you don't believe me, look up how many others have suffered (yes, I know, I should've done my research first!). Oh, and be nice, tell your friends, too.
Hello I sent emails wanting a refund for a deal that i bought and they have not responded to my emails been over a month and 4 emails. do not use!!!!!
if anything goes wrong with your deal then this is what happens to you, I am now £110 down and very unhappy about my experience with KGB-deals. you cannot contact them by phone either.

My least friendly daily deal site - in fact I have stopped getting their emails. They do have good bargains but woe betide you if you have any problems; they have a strict "no refund after ten days" policy which means that if you buy a service, such as hair cut or manicure, and then run into problems and can't redeem it then you will not get a refund. I only get my shift pattern a month in advance and the hairdresser's i had the voucher for had bookings so far ahead it was impossible for me to get an appointment that i could make before the voucher expiry date.
money stuck b/w this company and the third party, the hassle of making a claim and calling the trading standers agency is killing me. lesson learned, pay more and get your peace of mind and if its looks too good to be true its probably a scam via a third party company after your money and card details
I ordered a Steam Mop through KGB, when the Mop never arrived, i wrote to KGB numerous emails asking for a refund, they did not even answer.If you want to use these sites stick to Groupon, i had a similar problem with one of their deals and they refunded me without any problems!I have now referred the case to my credit card provider. ...
trés trés déçu, impossible de les avoir tout se passe par mail donc quand il y a des problèmes personne pour vous aider.e.commerçant ne sont pas fiable.faites attention aucun serieux.
I have paid for 2 separate vouchers - but have received neither product
The first was for a tooth whitening stick where I was able to download the voucher and access the relevant website direct to confirm the order - but the pruduct has still not been delivered to me several weeks later
The second was a Swarvorski bracelet and earrings set - but I haven't even been able to download the voucher
I have emailed th customer support unit and received an email back to say I would receive a response within 2 working days - but nothing
I have tried to call them on countless occasions but there is always a recorded message saying they are busy dealing with other customer enquiries and to use the website - clearly there is intended to be no ability to speak to them direct
I still wish to proceed with the purchases - for which I have of coursed already paid - and trust KGB will have the decency to deal with my filed complaint
très mauvais deals aucun respect,le resto était minable et nous avons eté très mal reçus,le salon de thé pareil ,le panty minceur : impossible de le commander 20€ perdus! le resto de la mer !il est fermé jusqu'à la date de peremtion du bon 15€ perdus deals mensongers et mauvais!!
I paid £29 for a mkgadgets 8GB Nano Player(£80) and got the voucher code from them to buy this item.
When I entered the voucher code at mkgadgets site while purchasing the item, it did not recognise. I had to email the KGB Deals and was told to wait for 3 days.
I managed to use the voucher code after 3 days, and paid £5.95 for the delivery. The item arrived only after 2 weeks and there was no manual, was only a piece of paper with their website address to watch the tutorials, instead.
When I went to the website I was disappointed again to see the site is under maintenance, will be back after 3, 4 days.
I will never use this company again!!

Don't use. Ordered solar Christmas lights in November, didn't arrive. Managed to get my money back in January, when they still hadn't arrived by quoting their 100% satisfaction Guarantee, they weren't interest before that. Did chargeback to get postage back.
Book teeth whitening at White spa for my husband!!!! There is no Spa.
First appointment canceled 3 hours before treatment.
Rebooked my appointment for 4th of Feb.When my husband arrived there was no one there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as they dont work at the weekend.
Called customer service lady decide it to book me another appointment which I did not want any more.Waiting for my refund.
Shit KGB and shit deals.
Absolutely disgraceful service. Purchase an I-helicopter for a christmas gift, this product only lasted about 5 minutes, basically rubbish. Normal retail price apparantly £100 deal was for £29.99, which I thought was reasonable at the time. Quite honestly if they were giving these thing away free I wouldn't bother with one. Customer services dont seem to be interested, provided email contact for Digital Deals (The Merchant) emailed several times, no reply what so ever received not even an acknowledgement. Disgraceful. My advise would be stay away from this site.
I purchased a KGB voucher for teeth whitening at "White Spa" for £59.
I was dubious from previous KGB reviews but decided to give it a go as it's not a lot of money in comparison to what I have paid for teeth whitening (295£) before.
I tried to book my appointment for two days, and all I got from the phone numbers provided was either a dead line or constant ringing.
When I eventually got an appointment I was happy. As the date approached, I rang to confirm date and location of appointment as website and voucher had contradicting info as to where this "Spa" is.
No answer. For another three days! I emailed them and eventually they rang me (I think this was a bit of a fluke because they had actually called to change my date of appointment). The location varied from Mayfair to Camden to Trafalgar Square!
This is because White Spa is not a Spa of any sort....nor is it a clinic.... it is a rented out room in large buildings used by many various businesses.
When I got there, my appointment was at 10.30. I was still waiting at 11.45 and as the receptionist in the area we were told to wait in had nothing to do with White Spa she was none the wiser. I soon realised that the lady beside me had been waiting on her son who had a 9am appointment and wasn't seen until 10.50am. She was refused a refund and the lady who was providing the treatment was very unapologetic.
The treatment itself was ok - despite having another patient right beside me and in between times the "dental nurse" was shifting/organising other appointments via telephone. An hour or so later I was done and I was happy with the result - the lady told me I had improved to the whitest shade she had. I was instructed not to consume anything food/drink which was in any way coloured for 48 hours which I stuck to rigidly. I experienced ALOT of sensitivity for the next 36 hours..... and by the end of the 48hrs i couldn't see any difference anymore! The white effect lasted for one day maximum!
All in all what a bloody waste of time. I wanted to write this review as I tried to find reviews of this treatment prior to purchasing the voucher and couldn't find anything. If i had read this I wouldn't have bothered.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Will be saving for a proper dental professional treatment the next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read so many reviews telling me not to use KGB Deals. I decided to ignore these and order through KGB Deals as it looked like a good deal. Biggest mistake of my life.
10 days after the money has left my account, i haven't been able to use the voucher they gave me. I'm £50 down and have no product and it's looking likely i'll never get this product. I have emailed KGB 4 times and every time got an automated response saying, Thank you for your interest in KGB, we'll answer your querry ASAP (Never happened).
I can't recommend enough that you don't use KGB. If they were the only company who had a pill to save my life, i'd take my chances elsewhere.
