Frequently Asked Questions

GENERAL

How does SHOP Yummy work? How do I get the deal?

It’s simple! Subscribe to SHOP Yummy and we'll send you an email with our featured offer. Our selected merchants agree to offer customers a specific product or service at a greatly discounted rate (usually 50% or more) if SHOP Yummy can generate more than the specified minimum number of sales chosen by the merchant. If you like what you see, just click the "Buy Now" button. The website will prompt you to enter your credit card info and address. Now spread the word. The deal only kicks in and you only get charged if enough people buy a deal, only then does everyone receives the discount - and a voucher in your inbox.

What is SHOP Yummy?

SHOP Yummy is your source for unbeatable deals on the best stuff for you and your family to do, see, eat, and buy right here in Hong Kong. (We’re talking deep discounts on things to help you clothe, feed, and entertain you and your family, keep up your home - and even indulge in yourself every once in a while).

We are highly selective about the deals we feature, opting for vendors who've been recommended by our network of Yummy Mummies, not just who give us the best deal. Our partners range from bakeries and beauty products to children's classes and mummy boot camps.

We're able to offer such significant discounts because we use a new social approach to buying. If enough mums sign up for a deal the deal is on and everyone receives the discount.

What kind of stuff do you have deals on?

SHOP Yummy partners with some of Hong Kong's top businesses to offer fun, family-friendly products and services, and great things for you to enjoy.  Our team spends loads of time researching the best products and services loved by Yummy Mummies and others we know. We prefer products and services that we've tried ourselves - as part of our research, our kids took the classes, bathed in the sudsy stuff; we tried out acupuncturists, sleep consultants, and spas. Basically, we do a lot of work to save other moms time and (obviously!) money. Making family life easier is what SHOP Yummy is all about.

Do I have to sign other people up in order to get the deal?

No, you're not required to sign other people up, but it definitely helps to spread the word! Remember, the deal is only on (and you only get the savings) if enough people buy the deal. So share it with as many friends as you can, and everyone will benefit. You wouldn't want to keep deals this good to yourself, anyway!

How do I redeem the offer?

Well, it depends. For most offers you’ll just print off the receipt we send you, bring it to the vendor and present it on checkout. For e-commerce offers from our online friends we'll send you a special code that you use when you check out on their site. All redemption instructions are printed clearly, so not to worry!

If I don't use the full value of my voucher may I use the remainder later?

No. Unless otherwise stated, you will need to use the entire gift certificate in one trip to the merchant.

How long is the deal good for?

It depends on the deal. Please read the specific deal description for any limitations. Unless otherwise stated, you will need to use the entire gift certificate in one trip to the merchant.

How do you decide what your "tipping point" is for a given deal?

We work with our partner businesses to determine the "tipping point" in order to get the best discounts for you.

Is there a limit to the amount of people I can share with?

Definitely not! We make it easy to use email, Facebook, and Twitter to spread the word.

Is there any way to buy Past Deals?

Once a deal passes, you'll have to wait until that vendor brings along another bargain. But you can check out our Past Deals page to see some of the great deals we've offered.

Can I combine my SHOP Yummy voucher with other offers?

Nope, sorry! With rare exception, you may not combine our deals with others that may be happening with our vendors at a given time.

What does the Facebook button on the homepage do?

To make it easier to navigate our page, you can log in to our site using the same e-mail and password you use for your Facebook account; this means there's no need to have another log-in and password to remember. Just click on the blue Facebook link in the upper right hand corner of the site to sign in.

What happens if I click "Buy Now" and not enough people are interested in the deal?

In the event that not enough people are interested, the deal will be canceled. You will not be charged unless the minimum numbers of consumers also decide to purchase the deal.

PAYMENT

What payment options do I have?

We accept major credit cards and PayPal.

Is SHOP Yummy safe?

Yes! All transactions are processed via secure SSL technology and at no time is your information stored on a server or shared.

VOUCHERS

My baby ate my voucher—now what?

No worries. You can print out another using the link we emailed you or by going online to your account.

Can I combine the voucher with other coupons or discounts?

Not usually. But read over the “At a Glance” and “Need to Know” sections of the deal page to find out specific limits and requirements.

What if I wasn’t happy with my product or service?

The bottom line is, we want you to be 100% satisfied with our service and will do what we can to make things right.

What if my voucher expires?

If the business does not or cannot honor your request, contact us directly, and we will find a solution that meets your needs. The bottom line is, we want you to be 100% satisfied with our service and will do what we can to make things right.
