Available in UK sizes 3 to 8 and choices of chestnut, coffee, and sand hues, these popular slippers have been scooped up by over a thousand customers already. Known for cocooning feet in warmth and providing comfort suitable for both indoors and outside wear, these slippers would make a brilliant Christmas present.
Feedback from Snow Paw’s own website includes a glowing testimonial: “Just tried another make, and back I come to these, lovely cosy, warm and last reasonably well.”
Another buyer on Amazon, however, was less impressed when they said, “The sole collapsed on one heel.”
With the festive season in full flow, discounts are also available for seasonal shopping and yuletide joy. These include entrance to Christmas Fairs, such as the ones at Ascot or the Great Yorkshire Christmas Fair, with a variety of dates on offer.
One happy customer who snapped up the half-price entrance deal left a five-star review that said: “Good discount on the product I purchased. Excellent communication from the third party. I would recommend it to anyone interested in their products. Third time I’ve used Groupon, no issues,” reads a glowing five-star review.
Another satisfied customer remarks: “Really easy transaction. Bought discounted tickets and printed them to bring along to the event. Saved over 50% of the full ticket price. I love a Groupon!” No negative feedback was reported at the time of writing.
For quick and easy cut-price gifts, there is also 60% off Woodwick Fireside Mini Sets, 50% off Snowflake LED lights and 61% off Swarovski® Jewellery Crackers.
As an online retailer, Groupon boasts an impressive TrustPilot score, securing 4 out of 5 stars based on nearly 23,000 reviews. Shoppers seem to love the Groupon experience, where consumers save big by purchasing deals and vouchers in advance.
One shopper said, ” I love Groupon for last-minute gifts or new places to try. Whether it’s a 60-minute massage or a 5-course tasting menu, and everything in between,” while another added, “Amazing deals in many fields and sectors, and hassle-free process. I highly recommend signing up and unlocking many benefits using Groupon.”
Negative feedback however was aimed at selected third-party sellers who fail to meet expectations through Groupon. One three-star review stated: “[The] item I bought would not download, the supplier was very unhelpful and abrupt and promised a refund. I’m still waiting 15 days later as they are not responding to Groupon.”
Some customers have also complained about the difficulty in contacting Groupon’s customer service when issues with third parties arise: “It’s so hard to find a customer service contact, almost impossible, and we’re stuck when we need them.”
Groupon isn’t the only retailer revealing significant Black Friday discounts before the official sale date (November 29). Bargain hunters can already snag deals from brands such as Amazon, Antler, Boots, Dunelm, Dyson, Emma, Ninja and more.
