If you are disappointed with your Groupon experience, you can check out the Groupon Promise service. This service allows you to request a refund on specific goods or services, but the refund policy differs for each deal that Groupon offers.

Make sure to research thoroughly to check if your request is eligible for a refund.

Free Returns, Cancelations, and Exchanges

Some items might not be eligible for a refund, but Groupon offers other options to help you out:

  • For most purchases, you can make a return for free within 30 days after delivery
  • You can ask for an exchange for other items
  • Some products can be auto-canceled

When Getting a Refund From Groupon is Not an Option

  • Marketplace items purchased through third-party merchants. Those merchants are responsible for the refunds
  • Items marked Final Sale
  • Oversized items
  • Items delivered by special carriers

  3. Select View Details option next to your order
  4. Click Return Package
  5. Print your prepaid mailing label and attach it to your package

How to Return Multiple Items?

If you wish to return several items, these are the steps you need to take:

  • For identical goods that you ordered together, you can print a single return label and use a single box. Make sure to adjust the quantity using the drop-down arrow beforehand

What Does the Groupon Refund Policy Say?

Groupon has a central return policy that allows you to return and get a refund for Groupon Goods within 30 days of receiving them. The service also has several specific refund policies:

  1. Local refund policy
  2. Refund policy for Getaways
  3. Groupon Goods return policy
  4. GrouponLive refund policy

Local Refund Policy

You can always get a refund for your purchase from the merchant who issued the voucher, in the minimum amount you paid. This option is available, even if the promotional period of the voucher has expired.

You can also return the unredeemed voucher to Groupon within the first three days of purchase.

The three-day time limit is final, and after it expires, Groupon will not refund your voucher.

Refund Policy For Getaways

If you buy a Getaways voucher and want a refund for your purchase, there are several options:

  1. If the merchant is unable to book the date you want before the book-by date deadline, Groupon will issue a full refund
  2. If you haven't booked your trip yet and the promo period has expired, you can still use the paid value as a credit to book another date with the same merchant
  3. Hotel reservations that you book through the Groupon site, should have cancellation and refund policies listed in the Fine Print section of each deal

Groupon Goods Return Policy

Groupon goods return policy is different for every product, but you can return most Groupon Goods items and get a refund within 30 days of receiving them. Depending on the item, you may also be able to replace your product with a new one. After thirty days of delivery, all Groupon Goods purchases are non-refundable, and all sales are final.

It is important to note that original shipping charges aren’t refundable unless the returned item is faulty.

GrouponLive Refund Policy

Most tickets purchased through GrouponLive are Final Sale, and therefore non-refundable.

How Long Does Groupon Refund Take?

There are two deadlines to pay attention to when asking for a refund from Groupon. The first one is the time it takes for your item to be shipped back to Groupon. The shipping can take up to two weeks. The second one is the processing time of each refund request. Once they receive your item, it is typically processed in one or two business days.
