Amazon reviews

[geofferz]

Just a reminder to be very wary. Amazon seems to allow sellers to change the 'picture or description' (clearly including title) of a product without losing the old  reviews for a totally different product So these headphones with loads of ratings are... Maybe good maybe bad, I don't know, the reviews are for envelopes...

I don't think amazon cares that much.

I'm sure they don't care at all.

Amazon is built on fake reviews and unscrupulous practises. Paid for your reviews? Who cares, Amazon get their cut - that's their way.

 

I avoid them like the plague.

So convenient though, they sell everything, and their customer service is sublime (they best John Lewis in surveys)

I only buy from them when I know what I'm getting or if I can't be arsed and it's cheap and not from China, now that's a conundrum

I use amazon when there's either no alternative or if its for something like a kindle book where there's very little alternative  especially when I'm stuck on a ship somewhere.

In fairness.

If you complain to amazon that a product is faulty they will just either refund the money or send you a new item and don't usually ask many questions.

 

Had a Dremel type tool replaced twice and was just telling them it was faulty.

Free return package at post office.

They usually are pretty good like that.  Our delievery driver has taken to dumping stuff on the doorstep in the rain though, rather than knocking and waiting.

I had a mobile phone from Amazon delivered like that. Had to wait on the doorstep for a day or two until I got back from holiday.

I almost thought it was an oxymoron. I believe they are a good employer when you get past packaging and delivery.
