nCrowd.ca has Foreclosed and rebanded to BoomStreet

nCrowd Extra 30 Off Select Local Clearance Deals Promo Code (May 16-17)

nCrowd.ca has foreclosed and re-branded to BoomStreet. I immediately stopped posting all nCrowd’s deals on my blog when I first heard rumours about it.

If you have any unused nCrowd vouchers or have not received purchased merchandise from nCrowd, you should have no problems getting a refund if you contact the credit card you used to buy the deal on nCrowd and request a chargeback. Simply call your credit card company and tell them nCrowd is no longer in business and the credit card will process a chargeback.

It’s unfortunate nCrowd is no longer around. They were the company that purchased a bunch of Canadian daily deals sites (Ie. TeamBuy, DealFind, Dealthons, etc…). I urge you to stay around from Boomstreet and not buy any deals from them.

Moving forward, I will only feature daily deals for the best and most establish daily deals sites in Canada (Groupon, LivingSocial, WagJag, Buytopia and Tuango).

Press Release from nCrowd (formerly Teambuy.ca + Dealfind.com)

As announced, Couch Commerce Inc. (owners of TeamBuy.ca and DealFind.com brands) is now insolvent. An acquisition by NCrowd Commerce Inc. has been approved by the courts, and the transaction was finalized on September 24, 2014.

I recently received the following official press release from the CEO of nCrowd (formerly Teambuy.ca + Dealfind.com):

TeamBuy.ca and DealFind.com have Filed Bankruptcy

TeamBuy and DealFind

It has come to my attention that TeamBuy.ca and DealFind.com recently declared bankruptcy:

Dear Valued Customer,

Please be advised that as of Friday, August 29, 2014, Couch Commerce Inc., the parent company of TeamBuy.ca/Dealfind.com, has entered into a legal & financial restructuring process. Pursuant to the rules and regulations governing the restructuring process, we cannot honor TeamBucks issued on or before August 29, 2014 and issue any refunds related to purchases on or before August 29, 2014.

Please note the purpose of the restructuring is to provide the Companies with a more stable environment to continue operations and develop a plan that will allow us to continue in business. We appreciate your prior support and looking forward to continued support through this important process.

Sincerely,
Sarah
Manager of Customer Experience
TeamBuy.ca | Dealfind.com

I’m shocked and disappointed by the news. TeamBuy/DealFind was one of my favourite daily deals sites. I bought a lot of deals from them over the last couple years and never had any issues.

Allegedly, TeamBuy/DealFind is no longer offering refunds and has stopped paying their merchants. This has forced some merchants to stop accepting/honouring their vouchers. If you have any oustanding TeamBuy/DealFind vouchers that you haven’t used, your I suggest you contact the merchant and ask if they’re still honouring the voucher. If they’re not, you can contact TeamBuy to request a refund or call the number on the back of your credit card and request a charge back.

Because I can’t guarantee if any deals purchased from TeamBuy/DealFind will be honoured, I’m going to stop posting TeamBuy/DealFind deals on my blog. I will keep you posted and will let you know if I hear any updates about this matter. In the meantime, I will continue to work hard and find all the best deals by posting them on my blog.

UPDATE: I talked to TeamBuy (on Sept 15) and was told they are currently in the process of a corporate restructure. They are strengthening their financial position and will come back stronger then ever. They are expected to announce positive news as early as next week.
