Plum District is a new, daily deals website. Daily Deals websites are taking the internet by storm, and Plum District is one of them! Plum District features a mom-friendly deal every day, and they are GOOD deals! (I have only used them a few times and never experienced any problems…. This is MY experience with them. )
Plum District KNOWS you have a hectic schedule, so they make it EASY for you to find deals on amazing products. It is so easy (and FUN). All you do is, Check out the daily Plum Deal. If you like it, click the “Buy” button. Then, share the deal with friends and take advantage of a $10 Plum Dollar referral bonus for every friend you refer that purchases a Plum Deal. And finally when you receive your email confirmation, just print out your Plum Certificate, bring it with you and enjoy your purchase! Super easy, right?!

I am still a fan of Plum District! They do have great deals (and some that are not so great) but they have ALWAYS helped me when I have had issues! People are never, NEVER willing to fess up and admit they DIDN’T FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. Directions and guidelines exist for a reason people. Don’t hate the map provided by a tour guide because YOU got lost!

James,
Sounds like you still like Plum District! I am happy that they helped you out! I have not had a problem with them, but like I said above, I only used them a few times and not since. Maybe their customer service needs some tending to? Thanks for your input!

I forgot to say that they are listed with the BBB in San Francisco with various complaints, but still an A rating. If anyone is greived enough to file a complaint, hopefully with more complaints, their rating will come down enough to warn others.

I, too, have not a good experience with this company. They currently have a deal for $25 for a $50 voucher at the Niege childrens clothing site and I just fell for it.
Unfortunately, at the Neigi site, even the most basic shipping is $10 which, along with tax, cannot be paid with the voucher. Fine, not the cheapest shipping, but with the voucher I was still getting a discount, and every now and then I guess I can pay some online store tax. And, another thing, other discounts and coupons could not be used with the Plum District voucher. Again, fine, whatever, but gee, this sure is starting to chip away at that discount …
Then, I found the exact items I bought on one of their distributor’s sites for alot less (Little Skye). AND Little Skye regularly put out free shipping and discount promo codes.
So, not only wasn’t I getting a discount by using Plum District, I was actually being forced to pay more!
When I contacted Plum District by email, they acted like I was stupid for buying one of their deals and actually responded with this – “it is the responsibility of the purchaser to research whether or not our offers are a deal …” and they let me know they have a no-return policy. How convenient.
Beware of using this ‘discount’ company. It may not be a discount at all and may end up costing you much more, and they could care less.

WOW. That is not good.. Thanks for sharing your story!

I have had the same experience with Plum District! They may have good deals, but their customer service is HORRIBLE! I would go with Groupon–they are much more courteous to their customers.
Kim says
Oh my goodness! Sounds like there are quite a few people with a bad taste in their mouth from Plum District 🙁 That sucks!

I am no longer a fan of Plum District. They had a deal with referring friends to receive a pink berry gift card. I referred friends from the pinkberry deal site, but apparently it ended up being from the “wrong” referral link so Plum District would not honor the pink berry gift card and I did not receive the gift card, even though my friends signed-up. I went through multiple email exchanges with customer service, but nothing has changed. They don’t seem to care about quality customer service. If you do still decide to use their site (which I no longer will be doing), proceed with caution.
Kim says
VERY interesting and thank you for sharing your story with everyone. I never had any problems with them, but then again I only used them a couple of times.
