In May I did I blog promotion for Hurricane Golf Tours and Golf Shop. I feel the need to write this post as I see they are promoting Living Social deals for their shop and other promotions.
After fulfilling the requirements for them I was sent a gift card to use on there site. I ordered a pair of Nike shorts from the site. The shorts cost more than the gift card so I used my credit card to pay for the remaining $23 that included shipping too. This order was placed May 23 and I received a confirmation with the details of my order and order #. Exactly a week later I received an email that says a noted was added to my order. The note said “Killed Blog Promo Orders”. I was hoping it wasn’t what I thought it was saying. I waited a few more days to see if I’d received my shorts or a refund to my credit card for the $23. I received neither.
I emailed the company on June 5 inquiring about what was happening with my order. They never replied. I waited a bit longer to see if they would simply refund my money or I’d receive the shorts. Today I realized it’s been a while and still no shorts or refund. I contacted the blogger group I had done the promotion through. Turns out I wasn’t the only one that received nothing for the work we did and they aren’t replying to the marketing people either. I sent another email using an email address on their site today so we’ll see what happens.
My advice is not to take advantage of the living social deal or any other deal . There is something fishy going on here. I can not recommend this company anymore. I have removed any posts from my blog on the advice of the blogger group I worked with and I’m going through my social media to see if I can find those posts as well.
i hate stuff like this. companies need to be clear with their customers.
That’s horrible! I also did a post for them but never received anything. I guess it was a good thing lol
Thank you for sharing!
Ugh I hate it when this happens! How terrible!
That’s not right. I hate when companies do things like this,
