    Has anyone tried group buying websites? My Mom was given hotel buffet vouchers from deal grocer as a gift. I was surprised with the convenience. I just called for reservation and presented the print out in the restaurant.

    However, I came across a group buying website where they are selling a handbag for an outrageously low price - 50% off the price abroad even after tax refund and 83% off (daw) locally. How the heck is that possible? Could they be selling fake items? Aren't items from these websites supposed to be regulated?

    si esmi mahilig sa mga ganiyan. lahat ng na mention mo. mga pang regalo, etc. pati mga pang hotel namin halos diyan. so far ayos naman at mukhang genuine.

    sorry, pano yung group? kailangan "group" para maka avail ng item at pati discount?

    pag nakakarinig kasi ako ng group, "orgy" comes to mind. please enlighten.

    dami ko na nabili dyan.. mostly hotel buffet.. sa dealgrocer yung sa alba and jeepney parati ko inaabangan.. maganda din sya pag birthday pang blow out.. like sa zong and elias, 50% off.. tsaka malimit yung sa ace water spa.. and some hotel promos..

    just buy from the reputable ones.. cashcash, groupon, ensogo, dealgrocer, metrodeal..

    di ko pa natatry. pero gusto ko i-avail yung may tricycle package tour. yung pipick-upin ka ng tricycle sa inyo tapos ipapasyal ka muna sa laloma at r. papa bago ka dalhin dun.
    ni-raid yan mga 3 weeks back ata nakita ko sa balita.

    maganda sa venus yung tawid nun katabi ng baliuag transit. dun nag shooting yung "prosti".

    alam mo yung prosti? yung prosti da snowman yun ha. baka ibang prosti yung nasa isip mo.

    loko talaga itong si cast.

    btt: pano nga pala pag umorder ka ng item sa ganiyan tapos umalis ka ng bahay?

    may twice na nagpang-abot kami ng mga delivery boy sa gate. sakto paalis nako.

    idideliver ba nila ulit yung item? minsan naka lagay 1-2days yung delivery.

    Yes some of them sells fake items. Alam nyo yung Happycall na frying pan? Only O-shopping carries the original, yet we bought one from metrodeal for half the price. Kala namin jackpot, until O-shopping released an advisory on how to determine a fake ones from the legit, and that they're the only one selling it. As expected, fake yung nabili namin sa metrodeal.

    boss qwerty sa ace ortigas ba kayo? ayos ba yung hotel? di ko type food ng ace. lasang chlorine,
    joke lang. basta di ko type.

    since nabanggit niyo yung fake items, may bibilhin kasi akong pills on line yung pampahaba ng buhay. aabot ka daw ng 111 years.

    pag di ka daw umabot ng 111 years fake daw yun. natatakot tuloy ako bumili sa mga kuwento niyo.

    money back guarantee nga lang pag di ka umabot ng 111 years, baka subukan ko pa rin.

    Beware.. fake items being sold online..

    https://www.techinasia.com/bdo-suspe...goods-sources/

    We also learned about an SMS advisory BDO sent to its credit cardholders that said: “All cardholders are cautioned against buying branded luxury items from online sellers, and while BDO is implementing measures to determine the integrity of online merchants affiliated with BDO, cardholders should be mindful of the authenticity of the items purchased.”

    Visits to CashCashPinoy’s site on November 4, and noon today, November 6, showed that payments through PayPal and credit cards were not available.

    Last time I bught It is wasted and lapsed on due date..coz I can't use it during weekend.. that was a Fly Board session.. But mostly Hotel booking, Spa and fine dinning will be fine. but Bags and other stuffs I realy doubt it they might deliver you a fake Items..

    Meron bang Entertainers sa Phil.. normally in UAE may mga nabibili sa mall na 2 book that cost about $100.. and they are partners with most of the hotels and restaurant its really a good value you will get 50% discount in everything and buy one take one in most of the food items

Group buying websites (dealgrocer, groupon, metrodeal etc) Experiences
