Groupon India Website Removed Two Unauthorized Clothing Group Buying Deals

Groupon said on Thursday that its India website has removed at least two clothing group buying deals between American Eagle Outfitters and Abercrombie & Fitch retailers because it has no right to sell these products.

Us hawk spokesman Rachel Dicarlo (Rachel DiCarlo) said: "retailers have not been approved to sell the product.

We will investigate this to determine what appropriate measures will be taken in the next step. "

She said that at present, the company could not clearly say whether it would seek legal action.

The website did not respond to pactions ranging from clothing to SPA and holiday products.

But Groupon, the parent company, said the site had indeed removed the deal.

Crazeal.com sells its American Eagle on its website.

Shirts and Hollister socks and other products group buying paction, discount of more than 50%.

A spokesman for Groupon said: "we thought the products sold by our partners were authorized by us hawks, but after examination, they found that they did not have such power.

Because of this mistake, we have moved away from the website immediately. "

Groupon subsequently said that after verification of the dealer's license, the company has removed another group buying paction offering Abercrombie & FitchT T-shirts.

The US eagle and Abercrombie & Fitch do not operate in the India market.

Online retailers often sell outdated products from international brands to meet market demand, but it is necessary to ensure that their suppliers have the demand for selling products in these markets.

Groupon is one of the fastest growing companies in history. The company was listed on IPO last year in November, creating one of the largest Internet IPO pactions in US history, which is valued at $about 10000000000.

Groupon acquired the India website named sosasta.com in 2001, that is, today's Crazeal.com.

International retailers have been focusing on entering the India market in recent years, but many laws and regulations make it difficult for them to enter the market.

Last year, a plan to bring India's retail market to supermarket chains like WAL-MART finally stalled because of fierce political opposition, but the India government is now trying to restore the plan.

Recently, IKEA, a Swedish furniture maker, announced a plan to invest in the India market in the next 15 to 20 years.

Previously, the India government cancelled the restrictions on foreign investment in the single brand retail business in January this year.
