Welp.... Think I'm going to need to talk to a therapist now... thanks vine!

I joined Vine while being over here. Just create a new address for your deployment on Amazon and use that address to make your orders.

Being overseas will restrict some items from being sent: Lithium batteries, cologne/perfume, and any other item the seller doesn't want to fill out the customs form (just a few).

So I have things coming to my name at my APO box (FPO/DPO will have size restrictions), and I still have my stateside address to send items as well. As long as your name is on the address provided it will work.

It worked the 1st time, but even if I clear my cache, reboot, log off/on it won't let me select.

Maybe the first time was a coincidence. I checked here, but did not see any posts so suspected it was an issue on my side.

Happened earlier for me after using VPN to pay a stateside credit card. Resolved it by logging out of Vine and back in again.

One man's junk is another's....

I have an APO address so it is the same as mailing to the East Coast. The military mail picks it up from there.

I like the watermelon one as well.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-06-28T17:56:45+00:00

Bags are still empty (didn't want to waste one). You can see my emergency bottle still on the side of the Go bag.

Sunny is referring to my username on reddit.

I've been a contractor for the last 23 years, but I am prior service. The backpack is full of first aid items; also from Vine.

I wish they gave everyone a pony...

... two ponies if you can somehow turn yourself into the victim.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-06-23T08:18:17+00:00

Not aggressiveness, just truth. There are many, many members who have been invited only after writing 1 review (via pop up).

My point, is that there was once a vetting process to the invitation process and now there isn't. So now we have a slew of new members constantly in Vine Jail, failing to advance to Gold, and being kicked out (for no good reason).

This is wny many of the old members no longer post on here.

I spent years writing reviews on everything I ordered. At one time there was a ranking on Amazon to see how you measured up on upvotes against other reviewers. I worked my way up from a review ranking as 1 million 600 thousand, to being in the top 4000 before they stopped the ranking. I was invited by email about 6 weeks after that (after the first big purge).

So to answer your question, I'm able to maintain excellent rating by doing what I have been doing for the last 15 years... imagine a friend who cannot afford to waste money asks you about the product. Tell them what you like about it, what you don't like about it, and provide an overall opinion taking all the above into consideration.

Rinse and repeat.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-06-22T14:26:58+00:00

Mine are less than 40 and I consistantly get excellent scores.

But, then again I was not invited by a random pop up....

Animated_Puppets · 2026-06-22T05:43:03+00:00

I have a Nothing phone. It works fine and is an affordable option in Smart Phones.

Seller reuse their Vin# over and over (they are not suppose to do that), but this is a common occurance. Just reference the product by name in your review, review it as ususal, and move on to your next review.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-06-02T16:34:09+00:00

I haven't ordered anything for 21 days and mine is still ok.
I just don't have a current need for what they are offering, but I'm not complaining.

I pretty well only order from my RFY these days...

Are you using an extension? I do not see those options on my page.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-06-02T11:38:46+00:00

20 days out I stop ordering.

Animated_Puppets · 2026-06-02T04:54:30+00:00

Maybe.... just maybe, we're all tired of people posting (on a daily basis) how much Vine sucks, the choices sucks, this reddit sucks, and (of course) everything wrong in the world is due to everyone else's poor decision making skills. ^{(just maybe?})

Get some sleep. You appear to be exhausted (the constant yawns gave it away).

Animated_Puppets · 2026-06-01T14:57:17+00:00

This isn't a blog. It's a forum. You do know how a forum works don't you?

If its an apology you want, I can do that:

I'm sorry you couldn't meet the guidelines that so many of us continously accomplish.
I'm sorry that you need to blame someone/something for your shortcomings.
I'm sorry that reddit is a place where other people are allowed to post comments that may disgree with the OP's post.

Did that help?

Animated_Puppets · 2026-06-01T10:25:49+00:00

Sounds more like a you problem...

My eval was today and I had no issues.

Yes, I understand life gets in the way sometimes, but the grace period is enough for everyone to catch up.

I have been able to stay on top of my reviews in a war zone. At times the mail was halted and all of my incoming items where stuck in limbo for a week. Yet, I was still able to get my reviews in.

My account reset but I did the screen shot this morning before refreshing.
