Amazon reviews

[barrydidit]

I do! I ordered a four foot LED tube, and it arrived snapped in the middle.

Then I arranged for a replacement, and guess what it also arrived packed in a double cardboard tube and an incredible amount of plastic stuffing, almost enough to fill a mattress, but still broken.

The only problem was I hadn't actually ordered it through Amazon, so I couldn't leave a bad review there - Bloody Amazon!

Bottom line is, it's pointless ordering LED tubes online. There's no way they will arrive through the post intact.

That sounds like my attempt to have a Yankee Candle delivered by Arseholeforce last year. Wunkers.

I wish they'd introduce more QC on their "ask a question" feature. It can be an amazing help and you tend to get answers within minutes, but clearly most people aren't really that clued up on it as you always get replies "I don't know, I bought it as a gift" or sometimes even "stop asking me, I already said I don't know!"

Haha, that's one of my absolutely favourite parts of Amazon. Either people spreading things which are utterly wrong, or Aunt Dorris who thinks she has been personally located and asked this oh so important question.

What should be banned is people giving 1 stars for a product because UPS nicked it or something.

Yes I know. But these reviews seem fake. None contain more than 10 words, most are 5 star. It's a pattern repeated throughout Amazon.

In a star rating system, they vast majority are either 1 or 5 stars.

Dunno if I'm missing a joke, there, but if you go to Your Orders you can quickly go through your items and leave reviews. Every now again I'll speed read down and review the ones that take my fancy

Only ten to eleven in the morning and this guy/guyette has already "reviewed" 9 items today.

For flip's sake Amazon, what are you doing.

OK sorry about the whinge it's over now.
