BBC Watchdog has done a piece on kgbdeals and LivingSocial and not found any illegal actions, though it did find problems with some deliveries. That is a bit of a load off.
I wonder if their traders use a thing called something like "groupage"(?), I suspect that they do as the advert when I ordered said 336 sold - 164 to buy. My ex used to be a clerk for a small time electricals importer and he would use it. The scheme allows for space to be taken in shipping containers so that multiple users can fill one up, but it is a bit hit and miss. If your load is first on you have to wait for the container to fill up, but if you are one of the last the doors can be shut as the fork lift pulls away and off you go.
I'll give it time yet.
