"Lego" mug from groupon - rubbish

paul2louise

First time i have used groupon. i bought a lego brick mug for £6 plus 1.99 postage. It arrived today. It is rubbish. No bricks fit properly.
If i return it do i get a refund on my postage or just my purchase.

Dont think i will be buying from here again

Groupon were on watchdog the other night, selling fake goods!
I have bought from them before, but I won't now

Well its a learning curve i suppose. Try and see what happens when i try and return it.

It would be impossible for Groupon to police all their deals ? They are at the mercy of whoever is providing the service/goods

You should let groupon know they have a rogue business. Lego will be interested as well.

Well it doesnt claim to be lego so they are careful with that. It is a build on brick mug. https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/build-on-brick-mug-5
I dont mind if it isnt real lego as we have been bought some copy lego from friends before. Just that pieces dont even nearly fit. They just drop off or dont even come close to fitting. Most of the copy lego can be mixed with real stuff, just tends to be a slightly lower quality.

Unfortunately this item is no longer for sale

Just found a similar one on amazon. It appears that people who buy this as a present dont actually try putting lego on it as anyone who has actually tried it will realise that the lego either doesnt fit or just drops off.
I should have known better,
My son will find it more frustrating that i would so i am not even going to mention it to him

Did the bricks it came with fit on it OK?

Unfortunately as it doesn't say its compatible with Lego then it shouldn't be expected to work.

You have 14 days to return unwanted items though https://www.groupon.co.uk/terms_and_conditions/rp

No the bricks it came with didnt really fit either. When you read the full details and looking at the same product sold elsewhere it does say fits lego and other similar bricks. I cant view the whole page now as it has expired. But when i read reviews on similar sites quite a few people say the bricks dont really fit that well on a few reviews. I tried lego, the bricks supplied and copy lego and none of them were very good.

I have a returns label and am taking it to the post office shortly
