Are travel deals the biggest headache in Group Buying?

Gang ngayon pending pa din yun amin. Pinuntahan na namin ung Travel Agency wala pa din sagot. Ayaw naman irefund ung pera namin. Di na to mauulit.

IIRC, Metrodeal’s problem with FB was due to their being an existing account that had nothing to do with group buying. They just renamed it for metrodeal.

Mga cheap kasi. Walang pera pero gusto pa rin mag travel. Nagkakaproblema and naloloko tuloy sa mga ganyang deal.

Ei Abe you have to understand that eventhough the price are discounted they still get profit from those because of the number of people going! Its the old chinese philosophy na kahit maliit ang tubo pag marami mag-aadd up yan… Unlike sa mga pinoy na ang laki laki tumubo na ayun walang bumibili.. Shows Abe that you have that kind of Pinoy mentality because of that comic that you chose to post.. No wonder why mga chinese ang mga succesfull businessmen.

You get what you pay for.

“kaya galit kayu sa apple kc wala kayu pambili ng magandang phone ”
Several android devices are as expensive if not more expensive that the iPhone. If anything, you actually have more choices in android.

“freaking value ng android phone after 6 months tapyas ng 10K ”
I can give you this one, indeed because of the speed that android evolves it’s inevitable. But I don’t get why you talk about gadget valuation when you clearly LOVE your phone. You don’t plan on selling it are you? O.O

“iphone gawa sa glass at bakal, android gawa sa plastik….”
Just plain stupid. What exactly are you trying to prove? There are a lot of android manufacturers out there that match, if not surpass the build quality of Apple. And have you looked at a few drop tests lately?

“iPhone’s dual core cheap is equal to Android’s quad core 1.3 to 1.5 GHZ. 512 Ram ni apple is equal to 1 GB ram ni android.”
Aside from making an ill constructed sentence that’s barely understandable, your statement is just DUMB! 1 is not equal to 2, capiche?

“compare nalang kayu iPhone has the best camera resolution on smartphones.”
Just plain stupid.

I pity you more than I despise your ignorance. So I’ll try to enlighten you.

Just like any smartphone OS, Android is far from perfect. But that doesn’t mean the iOS, Symbian or WP7 is any better.

Each has it’s pros and cons.

I believe that the iOS is simply hands down the best in terms of user experience. However, in terms of capabilities and customization, it could really do a lot more.

Android on the other hand has better customization and capabilities. You can really make your phone, YOUR OWN. There is however a big problem on android fragmentation. This becomes a problem for both the developer and the end user. One proponent is that it’s an open platform. This in turn would also give the end user several choices. (There are several good reads on how an open platform and a closed platform like the iOS differs and what is better for future devices).

Ignorance is bliss, and your post proves it. Have a nice life. :)

I recently bought a resort voucher from Cashcashpinoy in which they updated the deal details 3 days after I bought the voucher (they didnt even inform the customers who already bought the vouchers). Apparently they posted the wrong information according to the resort. The bad thing is I had to coordinate between these two parties to explain the issue when it should have been settled entirely on their side. It shouldn’t even have reached me as their customer. These companies should take extra care of their customers or else users will stop trusting them and their whole market will be affected. As for me, I won’t be buying travel-related vouchers anymore and I’ll be extra careful when checking the fineprints. Tip for everyone, take a screenshot of the details on the website when you buy a voucher because usually these fine print are not included on the voucher PDF that they send via email.

‘You get what you pay for’ as the saying goes. One good example is Cebu Pacific. Which led to Santiago-Tulfo boxing.

this is what a group buying is all about. full of crap if issues arise.

I have a friend in groupon. They pitched to my restaurant once. They’re the only site in the country that hasn’t had a DTI complaint yet out of all the group buying sites. And they’re efficient and easy to deal with in my experience. No problems with any of the deals i’ve bought there

Perhaps the fact that Living Social generates over $150 million from their travel packages is one reason. Another is the fact that travel is exciting, is popular and much like a restaurant table or hotel room, is a perishable item. If an airplane seat or resort stay is not sold for a given day, then that revenue is lost forever. Travel companies are, therefore, very motivated to sell that inventory and Daily Deal sites seem to be another viable option for them.

It is the Best Travel Place to visit.

Soon, we’re changingt the group buying game.

Imagine this, no need to deposit your money for purchases. Just click on the coupon, then print, and its ready to use.
