DealDash Customer Service is #1!

Don’t ever be afraid to contact DealDash customer service. They are there to help!

DealDash hopes that all of their transactions go smoothly, but occasionally there might be a problem. However, there is no problem too big for DealDash customer service! They have heard it all, and they are happy to help you if you have any problems or questions about the site. They are ready to help you, day or night. Just contact them if you need a hand!

Having a Problem?

The main time that most people contact customer service is when they have a problem. Maybe you are having trouble with using PayPal on the site, or perhaps you don’t even have a PayPal account and you are curious how it works. There are also times that your delivery might be delayed, or not show up. This isn’t typically a problem, though, because all things that you win or BIN on DealDash come with tracking numbers, with the exception of smaller gift cards. No matter what your problem is, don’t be shy, just contact DealDash customer service and they will help you find a solution.

Are You New and Totally Confused?

You don’t have to have a specific problem to contact customer service. If you’re new on DealDash and just don’t understand how it works, then customer service can help you with that, as well. There are many resources to help you understand how the auctions work, such as this blog and the DealDash Tips blog. There are also videos and an interactive tutorial. However, sometimes it’s easier to understand something when someone explains it to you step-by-step, and if you contact DealDash customer service, they can do just that.

Have a Suggestion for the Site?

Customer service isn’t just for problems and questions. They are also there to take your ideas and suggestions as well. Do you have an idea for a product that you haven’t seen offered yet on DealDash? Or maybe you think that there needs to be more of a certain category and less of another category? Do you have a fun idea for a DealDash contest? If you have a great idea, tip, or suggestion, then please contact customer service and they would be happy to hear you out.

Are You Unsure How to Get in Touch?

It’s easy to contact DealDash customer service. All you have to do to get in touch is go to the “Help” section on the main page of the site, then go to their “submit a request for assistance form” button. If you need instant help or you just don’t feel like waiting a few hours for a reply, then you can click the “Live Support Online” button.

Personally, I prefer the “submit a request for assistance form”, however, I have never had a problem that I needed immediate assistance. Many people are a fan of the live chat feature, and once you click the “Live Support Online”, you will be connected with a friendly DealDash customer service rep almost immediately. Once you’re connected, then you can work on solving your problem.

Use DealDash to Be a Do-Gooder

Winning for yourself is fun, but why not do some good? Use DealDash to help yourself be a do-gooder.

DealDash is here to auction off amazing items, but once you have everything that you need why not give back to your community? DealDash can help you get some items that would be much appreciated by the less fortunate members in your community. All of us who use “entertainment shopping” such as DealDash are fortunate that we have enough money in our budget to have fun and shop. Some people don’t have any extra room in their budget after they have the basics. Why not be a “do-gooder” and win some things to donate?

Identify Who Needs Your Help

There are many different types of people and organizations in your community who would benefit from a donation. Before you start bidding, you should make a list of the type of items that you are hoping to win and donate. For example, if you live in a very hot climate such as Texas or Florida and want to win clothing to give to the less fortunate, then you should probably stay away from the heavy jackets and sweaters.

Some examples of people and organizations who could benefit from donations are:

Food Banks. Food banks often offer items other than food to the people who use them, such as personal hygiene and grooming supplies. They could also use the $10 gift cards for fast food that DealDash often offers for auction.
Schools. Schools are always in need of supplies for their classrooms. DealDash sometimes offers office supplies and craft supplies that would make great donations for a school in your neighborhood.
Fire Stations. The firefighters in your community could use your help. They are often volunteers who spend long hours in their fire station waiting for a call to come in. They would appreciate things to make that time go faster such as MP3/4 players, video game, movies, and other entertainment. They would also appreciate gift cards as well to places such as Wal-Mart so they can re-stock their supplies and purchase some treats.
Department of Social Services. DSS can always use donations of baby supplies, personal hygiene items, and toys. When babies, kids, and teens are removed from their home they often have to spend hours at DSS waiting to either be returned to their parents or taken to a foster home. A soft plush toy or a fun game can help them take their mind of their situation for a little while.

Want Your Donation to be More Personal?

If you like the idea of being a do-gooder and donating some of your wins but don’t like the idea of donating to an organization, I have a solution. Churches are often one of the first places that a family turns when they are in trouble. Even if you are not religious or associated with a church, you can still find a recipient of your generosity there. Simply call the church office during the week and explain that you would like to donate to a needy family in their parish. They will be very happy to match you up with a family and you can know that your donation is making a very big difference in the life of a family in your own community.

BIN Instead of Win

You should know that with all auctions on DealDash , if you don’t happen to win these items when you bid on them, then you can always BIN (Buy It Now). Simply buy them for the retail price, and you will get all of your bids back to use again. You will also receive free shipping, AND get to keep of the clock time that you earned as being the highest bidder.

Hello August – Time For a Summer Party!

Happy August everyone! Get the grill ready, it’s time for a summer party!

I hate to say it, but it seems like the summer is just slipping away so quickly. Here it is, already August! I hope that you have your family has been enjoying the summer so far. There’s still a third of the summer left to go, let’s have a summer party! Get out the lawn games, BBQ grill, and iced tea. DealDash can help with the supplies. Read on for more tips on how to make your summer party a success.

Start the Party Preparations

Unless you entertain regularly, you’ll need to get some supplies for your party. Depending on the number of guests, you might have to stock up on some of the basics, such as paper plates and napkins. There are also questions that you’ll want to ask yourself such as “Is there enough seating for everyone?” and “How am I going to make sure that my guests are going to have a good time?”

You might want to start with making a list of the guests that you plan on inviting. After you have completed that you can decide if you need to get out the extra folding chairs for the patio or deck, or if you need to buy a few outdoor toys for younger guests. Because let’s face it, spending $5 buying a large ball and $1 buying some bubbles is an excellent investment to make so you don’t have to hear “I’m borrrrrred!”

What Are You Going to Serve?

Hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill are a must unless of course, you’re a vegetarian. Then I suppose you would be serving Boca Burgers and veggie dogs, instead! Other than the grilling basics, you need to decide what else you’ll be serving, and if you’ll be making it yourself, buying it prepared, or trying to convince your Aunt Sue to make her potato salad. Once you’ve decided the menu and if you’ll be preparing it, then it’s time to make a shopping list.

Be Sure the Grill is Ready

If you’ve been using your grill all summer long, then you probably don’t have to worry about this item too much. It would be wise of you to check the amount of gas or charcoal that you have left, though, because it certainly would be disappointing to run out during your party.

If your grill has seen better days, don’t fret! DealDash has a selection of grills up for auction, as well as hardware store gift cards if you don’t see the model that you want. Lowes has a huge selection of grills available, and DealDash often has Lowes gift cards up for auction. Be sure that your grill is in good shape and ready to party! If you’d like to see the grills that are available for auction on DealDash, then just click right here.

Oops I Did it Again…On DealDash!

No one is perfect, and that includes bidding on DealDash. Here are some things you might want to avoid while bidding.

Do you want to avoid DealDash mistakes? We all would! This blog article will take you through some of the more common DealDash mistakes, and how to avoid them. What mistakes do you see people making while using DealDash? Do you have any ideas how to avoid them so you don’t make the same mistakes? Read on for more information from DealDash.

Don’t Jump In too Late

A mistake that I see people often make on DealDash is entering an auction when it has almost reached the $5 No Jumper Limit. Now, this is completely allowed, of course, but I still think that this is a strategic mistake. Why? Because if they auction is down to just 2 or 3 people and it has almost reached the $5 No Jumper Limit then those few people feel kind of an “ownership” over this particular auction and probably won’t let it go without a fight.

I have seen many people say that they will overbid past the BIN (Buy It Now) because they know that the person who just joined the auction will most likely bid for a while. Bidding past the BIN price is risky, but some people just can’t resist trying to rack up more “clock time” with the TATHB (Time As The Highest Bidder) perk.

Not Letting Your Buddy Help

Do you use the BidBuddy in each and every auction? You should! The BidBuddy is there to help you win against your competition, why wouldn’t you use him? By using the BidBuddy, you have the best chance at winning the auction.

The BidBuddy is just as easy (if not easier) to use than single bidding. Simply fill him up with as many bids that you would like to spend on an auction and let him work his magic. Don’t make the mistake of not using the BidBuddy – he’s free and available to use on every auction.

Don’t Throw Away Your Bids! Use BIN!

While there is always a winner in each and every DealDash auction, it won’t always be you. If you try to only bid on things that you would normally buy at the store such as clothing, then you can BIN them if you don’t win. BINning an auction just takes a click of the button. After you’re done bidding and would like to BIN the item, just click the “Buy It Now” button, and after you have paid you will receive all of your bids back in your account. In addition to that, you’ll get free shipping on the item as well.

DealDash Heroes: United States Air Force

Welcome to the newest DealDash series, DealDash Heroes! Today we are going to be talking a little bit about the United States Air Force.

The United States Air Force is one of the seven branches of American uniformed services that also includes the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and finally, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps. All of these branches of uniformed services are extremely important, but today we are going to focus on the Air Force. Here is a little bit more information about the Air Force, their history, and their importance to our country.

Air Force History

The Air Force originally started as a branch of the Army and became its own entity on September 18th of 1947. The Air Force is the most recent branch of our military to be formed. You probably aren’t surprised to know that the Air Force is in charge of protecting our air and space, did you know that they are also responsible for protecting our cyber space as well? As the most recent and technically savvy branch of the United States Military, the Air Force is in charge of keeping us safe from cyber criminals.

Presidental Airmen

We have two former presidents who were also in the Air Force. In 1937, Ronald Reagan enlisted as a reservist in the Air Force and was ordered to active duty in April 1942. He left active duty at the rank of captain on December 9, 1945. Ronald Reagan was part of a special unit that made films for the Air Force. By the time Ronald Reagan’s enlistment was over, his unit had produced over 400 training films for the Air Force.

Our other presidential airman was George W. Bush, who joined the Texas Air National Guard of the U.S. Air Force in 1968. George W. Bush trained as a fighter pilot, and in 1973 was transferred to the Air Force Reserve. George W. Bush was honorably discharged at the rank of first lieutenant in 1974.

The Air Force Tracks Santa

Starting in December of 1955, there were ads in the newspaper telling kids that they could call Santa to find out his current location. The ads included a phone number. The number that was listed in the ads actually called the U.S. Air Defense Command. The colonel on duty ordered his team to give all kids information on jolly old St. Nick’s “current location.” This tradition now handles calls from over 200 countries, and also offers online tracking as well.

How Can We Thank the Air Force Airmen?

The airmen (and women, but they are all called airmen) are brave individuals that protect our freedom. We should all be grateful to them and show our appreciation for their selfless acts of courage. How can we show our appreciation to our Air Force airmen?

There are a few ways that you can thank airmen in the air force. There is a wonderful website that you can visit called http://anyairman.com. This website will give you the address of a random airman so that you can send them a letter, card or care package. You can also choose to donate any amount of money, large or small, on the website that will be used to make care packages for airmen.

Another way that you could help an airman is to contact your local veteran’s hospital and ask if you could visit or volunteer. Some veterans that are in the hospital don’t get any visitors, and this would be a wonderful way to show your appreciation.
