This weekend is your last chance to prepare for America’s 246th birthday party. That’s right, the 4th of July is right around the corner! For those who need a gentle history lesson, the 4th of July celebrates the day the United States of America declared independence from Great Britain, on July 4th, 1776. We live in a big country, and specific 4th of July traditions might vary from state to state, but Americans all across the country generally celebrate the 4th of July the same; with fireworks, a barbeque with friends and family, and perhaps attending a local parade put on by school students and the fire department.

A newer tradition for some Americans is hunting for 4th of July Deals, and DealDash has you covered in that regard. Keep reading to learn more about typical 4th of July traditions and what DealDash has in store for 4th of July weekend.

Time for fireworks!

Fireworks are a huge part of a typical 4th of July celebration. In fact, Americans love fireworks so much that more than a billion dollars of fireworks are sold in the USA each year!

Depending on where you are celebrating 4th of July, you have a few different options about how to get your firework fix. One choice is to buy your own. Fireworks stands pop up in parking lots all around the country and for just a few dollars you can buy some ground blooms, Piccolo Petes, and sparklers. Just be sure to practice proper safety precautions if you decide to light off fireworks of your own. Another option is to watch a larger fireworks show. A general rule of thumb is, the bigger the city, the bigger the fireworks show! You can look at an online guide to see what’s happening in your area. You can even watch these fireworks shows on T.V.!

If it’s fireworks that you’re after, why not check out DealDash’s 4th of July Weekend sale? As you know, each time you win an auction on DealDash, you are treated to your own personal fireworks show that fills up your screen after the wining bid has been placed and the timer hits zero. DealDash is the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone by getting your favorite 4th of July deals and a fireworks show at the same time!

We want it to be fun and rewarding for our bidders during our 4th of July Weekend event, so we are adding some exciting twists to the auctions during this event, which runs from Saturday, July 2nd, to Sunday, July 3rd. For starters, on Saturday we are offering a 3X multiplier on Time As Highest Bidder progress, which means you will progress from bidder level to bidder level three times as fast! As you increase your level, watch out for milestone rewards, which offer a huge amount of free bids! We also will be offering our Runner Up Discount promotion and the auctions will have a lowered No Jumper limit of just $3, which reduces competition.

Don’t forget about Sunday!

Sunday is shaping up to be a great day for bidders, too! In addition to the 3X Time as Highest Bidder multiplier, all auctions have a 50% off discount for the auction winner. That means if you win a 4th of July deal for a final sales price of $10, you only need to pay $5. And as always, shipping is free. And last but not least, on Sunday you can earn even more free bids by bidding in Leaderboard Auctions; auctions that award free bids for being the highest bidder the longest. With all of these special auction twists and rewards, this weekend sale event has everything you need to help you collect all of the 4th of July Deals you want. And who knows, maybe it will become an important annual summer tradition, too!

No matter where you find yourself this 4th of July, we hope you have a fun and above all, safe celebration. Be sure to stay informed on local restrictions regarding fireworks, and if you’ve enjoyed a few adult beverages during a 4th of July party, put down your keys and call a taxi. We hope to see you in the auctions this weekend, and happy 4th!

We are approaching mid-June and Midsummer is almost here! That means warmer temperatures, longer days, and a great DealDash summer sale for you!

The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year. Of course, the actual length of the day depends on where you are in the world. For example, if you are celebrating the summer solstice in New York City, you can expect a day that is just over 15 hours long. If you fund yourself farther north, in Stockholm, Sweden for example, you can expect a day that is 18 hours and 30 minutes long. And if you find yourself way up north inside the arctic circle, perhaps in Rovaniemi, Finland, the day is 24 hours long! Imagine that; watching the sun move up and down in the sky and not seeing it set for months on end!

The summer solstice is celebrated differently in different parts of the word. In some places the day marks an occasion of mischief and superstition, while in other places, the summer solstice gives an opportunity to reflect on past violent conflicts and to wish for a peaceful future. And on DealDash, the summer solstice gives bidders the opportunity to enjoy a great summer sale complete with special promotions and discount bids. Sound interesting? Keep reading to learn more!

Different meanings in different places

The summer solstice always marks the longest day of the year, and it normally is on June 21st. However, the day itself takes on different meanings in different places and cultures.

In parts of Scandinavia and Finland, people make beautiful flower crowns to wear. This makes use of the vast amounts of wild flowers that are typically in bloom, and it also celebrates fertility. This customer is practiced by men and women alike of all ages.

Some midsummer customs take on a supernatural element. In parts of Finland, some people believe that placing birch twigs in certain parts of their home could guarantee fertility. Some folks even practiced a superstition to try and see their future spouse! To do this, they would walk outside at night and peer into a well naked!

In Northern Ireland, the summer solstice takes on an entirely different meaning. There, June 21st is called The Day of Private Reflection. It is taken as an opportunity for people to reflect on the violent domestic conflicts that have been a part of Northern Ireland’s history. People think back on the past and collectively imagine a peaceful future together. It is a relatively new holiday, having been celebrated only since 2007, but the message is an important one and here’s hoping that it is an important day of remembrance that is celebrated for centuries to come.

A great time of year to be on DealDash

Here at DealDash, we want to make some great summer solstice traditions for you to enjoy, too! While we don’t offer flower crowns or superstitions to see the future, we have a lot of things going on during our week-long summer sale. It begins on June 20th, and lasts until June 26th.

Our Cyber Monday in May Sale also offers auction winners 90% off the final sales price of a won auction. Taking 90% off the DealDash deals you already know and love? What a way to celebrate Cyber Monday, in May no less!

Giving second place a reason to celebrate

During this May holiday sale, we want to share the winning experience with as many bidders as possible. So, we’re also offering our very popular Runner-Up Discount during the Cyber Monday in May event.

At DealDash, we believe there’s a better way to run online auctions, and that nothing beats the rush of a great deal. 

We never liked the experience of traditional penny auctions. In fact, our founder had a horrible experience with them as a customer. So we wanted to build something better. And we’ve done just that.

Since 2009, we’ve helped millions of Americans save money when buying products they know and love. Today, we are the longest running and most trusted pay-to-bid auction site on the internet. 

We understand that none of this would be possible without the trust and respect of our customers. And we do everything in our power to treat our customers with the same trust and respect.

Customer experience is in our DNA

Customer experience is at the center of everything we do.

From the very beginning, we knew that focusing on the experience of the customer was the key to creating an online auction experience better than anything else out there. That’s why we set out to create an auction site where every customer, not just the winning bidder, can enjoy the experience of our auctions.   Customers are the most valuable asset any company can have. To make sure every decision we make is driven by customer experience, we have built the customer into our company’s DNA:

Our Mission

We keep our customers’ wallets full and our partners’ warehouses empty.

Our Vision

To create a world where no customer, or inventory, gets left behind.

Our Values

CUSTOMER FIRST

• Pride yourself on going above and beyond for our customers.
• Treat our customers as you want to be treated yourself.
• Talk with, listen to, and understand our customers.
• Never take the customer for granted.
• The customers vote with their wallets.

Traditional bidding sites create an awful customer experience

When pay-to-bid auctions first hit the internet, millions of people across North America signed up.

Unfortunately, most shoppers lost money and had a poor experience due to iniquitous auction models. And that’s exactly what happened to our founder, who spent $50 on a pay-to-participate auction site and ended up with nothing to show for it. 

The biggest issue we took with traditional bidding fee auctions is that they don’t favor all customers:

Only one person wins

In most auction models, the only person who gets to buy the product is the person with the highest bid. So if you don’t manage to win the auction, you go home empty handed.

Lots of sneaky fees

Many penny auction sites have additional bidding and shipping fees hiding in their small print. What’s the point of saving money on a product if you end up having to spend extra to get your product?

One auction per item

Traditional auction sites have limited inventory, so products are often only auctioned off once. Miss the auction, and miss your only chance to get what you wanted.

A better auction experience with DealDash

We do our best to make sure everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive with DealDash.

From our suppliers, to our customers, and even our staff, we make sure everyone feels they are treated fairly, honestly, and with appreciation.

Fair auctions

We designed our auctions so that every customer can have a great experience. We give everyone bidding an opportunity to purchase the product they want, regardless of whether or not they win. And we keep extra inventory of our products so that we can run several auctions of the same product.

Honest

It’s important to give our customers as much information about our auctions and products as possible. That’s why we have customer reviews about the product you’re bidding on directly in the auction’s page. We also feature a list of Recent Winners on our home page, and have compiled a list of Tips & Tricks to use in our auctions and even out the competition.

Security

We have a carefully crafted set of House Rules that are designed to ensure our auctions are as fair, safe, and as much fun as possible. We have integrated fail-safe features into our service to make our auctions fair and risk-free. And we offer a 90-Day Money Back Guarantee on your first purchase – no questions asked.

The DealDash customer experience

We’ve done everything in our power to make sure that we provide the best customer experience anywhere in the online auction world.

We’ve designed Our Auctions to be fair and honest, created policies to give back to our customers, and built the best Support Team anywhere on the internet. We’ll do whatever it takes to ensure our customers know how important they are to us.

Auctions

We’ve spent years developing solutions to patch the holes in traditional auction models. Here’s what we’ve come up with:

Buy It Now

We want everyone to get the product they want – even if they don’t win the auction. That’s precisely why we created Buy It Now – so that even if you lose an auction, you can buy the item for the listed price and get the bids you spent back to your account.

Free shipping

You shouldn’t pay a penny more for an item that you’ve won. Every item sold on our site is delivered to your door for free – every time. You can also Track Your Order to see exactly when it is scheduled to arrive.

Auction Features

With DealDash, the more you participate, the more you get in return. Our auctions have gamified features such as Time As Highest Bidder, to reward you for being an active user.

Services

The DealDash Customer Experience goes beyond our auctions.
We won’t stop until we have optimized every corner of DealDash experience.

Promotions & Rewards

There is always something new on DealDash. We run Daily Promotions and special campaigns that provide discounts and reward active users for their participation. And our Royalty Program, which is open to everyone, is our way of thanking our customers for being with us.

Transparency

We are transparent about everything that happens in our auctions. In every auction we disclose information about past auctions for the same product. You can find out how much it has sold for, who purchased the product, and how many bids they used to win the auction.

Crowdsourced ideas

We believe that a great idea can come from anywhere – and we’d be fools to limit those ideas to our own team. We encourage our customers to share their thoughts about our services with us. Some of the most popular auction features and products have come from customer suggestions. 

Support

People are the foundation of support. 

Our 20 million active users need a lot of attention. So we’ve invested heavily in Customer Support to help us ensure our customers are happy and satisfied.

Customer Success Team

We have the ‘94 Bulls of Customer Success. Our top-notch Support Team is available around the clock to make sure everyone is seen, heard, and served.

Amazing Ratings

The proof is in the pudding. We have a 4.5-Star Rating on TrustPilot, a 4.28-Star Rating on BBB, and a 4.28-Star Rating on Sitejabber.  

Weekly customer chats

Every DealDash employee has a weekly feedback call with a customer. This company policy helps us stay connected with our customers and learn a lot about their experience with DealDash as a result. We put the knowledge we gain to good use.

Share your experience as our customer with us

There’s no limit to what we can learn when we stop and listen.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us – we love hearing from our customers. Hearing from our customers has become a huge part of our company culture, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve the experience of all of our customers.
