Ad Review
On November 21 2018 BBB contacted the company regarding the pricing scheme on the company website livingdeal.com. All of the products advertised by the business had a significant price reduction, with no sale end date, or increase to regular price.
This includes, but is not limited to:
40 Pack: CND Deluxe Nail Polish Set
Regular Price: 189.99 Now: 15.99
Luxury 6-Piece Super Soft Deep-Pocket Bamboo Bed Sheet Set - Assorted Colours
Regular Price: 89.99 Now: 24.99
Multipurpose Food-Grade Antibacterial Silicone Smart Sponge
Regular Price: 12.99 Now: 5.99
6-Piece Water Resistant Travel Bag and Luggage Organizer Set
Regular Price: 69.99 Now: 14.99
Additionally, the website displays a "Money Back Guarantee" and "100% Satisfaction Guarantee" logo. The BBB Code of Advertising (Section 20) maintains that advertisers should only use these representations if the seller or manufacturer refunds the full purchase price of the advertised product or service at the consumer's request. Based on the complaints received by BBB, the company does not appear to be resolving customer concerns in this fashion.
The company appears to be claiming to hold an A+ rating with BBB, however their rating is currently an F.
Living Deal Corp did not respond to BBB or modify their website.
