Make some coffee. And then some more. And while you're waiting why not write to Wendy Knowler, she loves GroupOn stories. And vendors that lift their prices to pretend you are making a saving.

 

BTW when it comes to physical goods GroupOn usually acts as an agent, they don't buy stock themselves, they sell the goods, take their cut, pay the supplier to deliver. They don't warehouse and have no risk of unsold stock....

Haha... actually on my 3rd cup of coffee

 

Turns out that Groupon can offer my a Pyro LED light if I am willing to pay in the difference between the two lights!

Crazy! I am sure you will come right, get in touch with the user Magic-shine

Guys, this is a multi billion dollar organisation that is listed on the new york stock exchange. Its unlikely they will ever scam you.

sorry I just have to laugh at this. Wahahaha! can you say Enron? ....geeesh even the recent Facebook IPO was a scam.

Awesome and no I can't imagine waiting that long!

Something sounds fishy regarding the Groupon deal...... the fact that they are taking so long to post the items says that they don't really have the items in stock.

 

I on the other hand got 'scammed' big time - Paid R660 instead of R1200 for first time jump course (skydiving) and have now been hooked...... been jumping from a perfectly functioning plane for the last 6 months. Budget is shot but having a jol!

Its no scam, they just do not have the stock in (thats Pyro Lights) and they will only expect it in towards the end of the month. I am just hasty as i want the set now.........

yes i get what you're saying, just commenting on the assumption that a company is trustworthy on the premise that its listed on the NYSE.

[mikeMT]

Either way..........i think this was a bum deal by all involved, the marketing mixup with the different brand lights, to suppliers not having stock on hand, to accepting monies from individuals and then inform them to wait 4 weeks, it all sucks.

Well guys, a further update, as mentioned i cancelled the Groupon deal and reordered through Magic-shine, received my parcel this morning (MJ-880) and merely awaiting refund from Groupon now, so now if i understand correctly the only difference here now is that Pyro lights run at 4000K whereas the light i received from Magic-shine is a standard unit supposedly running at 6000K as per Pyro website, either way will test out my unit in the morning, but all seems great now. Good luck to all other buyers awaiting their lights.

Well all I can say is that waiting for my refund to reflect in my account as supposed to waiting for their Manager to contact me... it will be quicker to get the refund from them! Sadly I will need to wait a little longer before making another straight purchase as my budget only allowed for this price range. Hopefully by the end of the month I will have a light to cycle with! Very disappointed in Groupon and their response time

Hang in there Gwhite - refunds usually take 5 days to process, you should ask Magic-shine to hold one of the lights for you.
