I’ve been hearing about Sandy’s Pizza lately and I told myself I really have to try it one way or another. Luckily, I was able to avail of a 50% (from P935.00 to only P465.00!) discount from group buying courtesy of Metrodeal Philippines.
Actually, it was my first time, and my husband’s, too, to purchase a coupon through group buying and I was in some sort of hesitation because of the fact that online scam are very common now a days. I was also afraid because I have read some online articles about some group buying site frauds, and though I read some negative Metrodeal reviews. I still tried it, for the sake of “Sandy’s” plus, I read from Metrodeal’s Facebook Page their customers’ positive feedbacks. Fortunately, I encountered no problem during the Group Buying transaction with Metrodeal.
Now, here’s another uncertainty. According to what I’ve heard (and read, too), in order to avail of the discounted coupon, the customer must call in advance, preferably one day ahead, because Sandy’s have limited food offer to those who are availing the Metrodeal coupon. But since Sandy’s is just around the corner (where we were last Saturday), we decided to have a stop at Sandy’s Pizza QC Branch: 154 Katipunan Ave. (Hernandez Bldg.), White Plains, Quezon City. We tried our luck (because we didn’t have an advance reservation as indicated), collected all my guts and confidently approached the girl in the counter and told her that I’m claiming my Metrodeal coupon. Without further queries or whatsoever, she immediately handed me the menu book in exchange for my coupon and my husband’s. Then the girl in the counter checked something in her computer and courteously asked for our orders. I then felt relieved.
Now here’s the “drooling” part: as for me, I ordered 1 carbonara, Buffalo Wings and White pizza while my hubby ordered a Creamy Basil Pesto, buffalo wings and meatzarella pizza. Since it’s sort of “we cook while you wait” system, we waited for about 20mins before our orders were served. We excitedly and hungrily feasted on the food and when we can’t “take it anymore”, we decided to take out the “remains” since one order is more than enough for one person. What a hassle-free experience!
My “first time” with Group Buying, with Metrodeal and with Sandy’s Pizza is a great experience that I have already bought a couple of coupons from Metrodeal (after the sumptuous feast at Sandy’s) as of press time.
I guess, I’ll blog about the coupons next time…
Why didn’t I heard of this deal before? I’ve seen several offer from Sandy’s by other group buying sites but they require to be purchased only in Makati. We’re 10 minutes away from Sandy’s Katipunan but haven’t tried it yet. Those buffalo wings and meatzarella pizza looks like something to die for.
I have brought a number of vouchers at Metrodeal. So far, okay naman with the availment, yung nga lang maghihintay ka. Most of their promos, especially sa mga salons or beauty centers, you need to wait until after 3 to 4 weeks bago sila mag-accept ng mga may vouchers. Nakakairita lang that I paid for something tapos next month ko pa pala ma-aavail. So tip lang, before you purchase the voucher, call the merchant first then ask when will they start accepting Metrodeal vouchers. If malayo pa, saka na lang mag-avail. Eto pa – they have a promo yung YJC Lipo-Sculpt Cavitation – OMG! Pagdating mo sa clinic, doon mo malalaman, 10 session pala required for the treatment. Hindi pa nila sinabe sa website na 10 sessions ang kailangan. When I went there yesterday, the doctor asked me to pay additional 300 pesos! Kaloka talaga!
Also, totoo that Metrodeal Customer Service sucks. May auto-reply pa na within 24 hours pero took them 3 days bago may reply. Super bagal ng resolution.
I will still buy from them, but I learned na my lesson. 🙂
