Reply from yesterday from Groupon:

Hi Michael,

After consistent requests from customers and merchants, we have decided to pilot certain types of firearms-related deals in specific markets on a trial basis. These are limited to skeet and target shooting deals, as well as shooting range deals.

It’s always our goal to offer the kinds of products and services that our customers are interested in, and feedback like yours helps us accomplish that.

Thanks again for voicing your feedback. If there’s anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Regards,

Aliza S

Another range post for SG&A in Houston/Spring: http://www.groupon.com/deals/spring-guns-and-ammo-4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; $13,000 sold so far.....

The mighty dollar may sway them. I just checked the current gun range deal online and they've sold $20,400 worth already. Money speaks!

I sent them a note yesterday asking if they had reversed the "hiatus". I cancelled my account (along with emails to customer service explaining why) on January 29. If I get a response back I will post it.

Aliza S must be collaborating. I got the same canned response. My answer back to Groupon....

Aliza:

It would be interesting to understand the process for gathering the data from merchants and customers who voiced their opinions and how that scores vs. those who support the gun-related deals. I've certainly seen many complaints from vendors such as Central Texas Gun Works who have suddenly had their deals and contracts nullified by Groupon in the midst of popular offerings. On the surface this appears to be an arbitrary action from your management and clearly reflects their stance.

I understand the ramifications as outlined in your email. Please cancel my account, remove all personal information including address and credit card, and continue to keep me unsubscribed from your service. Your service no longer reflects my needs and my dollars will go elsewhere.
