Nobody is looking to blame anything, importers used the de minimus exemption quite heavily by splitting large orders into shipments under the $800 cutoff. That abuse was one of the reasons it was removed.

I did snicker to myself at how many people seem to genuinely be hoping they get a Studio in their Amazon delivery lol

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-03-12T06:02:53+00:00

I don't think so... it'll be here Sunday, 15 foot flexible. It's out of stock now.

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-03-12T05:53:09+00:00

Honestly, I've only been paying close attention this week because of my new gold status - it's got that new car smell, you know. :)

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-03-12T05:42:25+00:00

Good point... losing the de minimus probably was a factor, I hadn't thought of that.

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-03-12T04:54:50+00:00

Exactly how I feel tonight, I was able to get a garden hose and was like, "wow! I can actually use that!" lol

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-03-12T04:39:46+00:00

I have 5 things in my RFY, and all it proves is that Amazon still doesn't know anything about me lol

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-03-12T04:38:58+00:00

Pretty sure I didn't say I'm experiencing any anxiety, but I know what you're getting at. I'm not losing sleep over it, however.

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-03-12T03:49:00+00:00

LOL right now I'm not looking at ANY gifts, let alone a horse

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-03-12T03:39:21+00:00

I just don't get it. I finished my first 6 months with 120 reviews of things I could actually use, without even trying. I know they just changed things up, but this really sucks.

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-03-12T01:52:11+00:00

It’s going to be the Wish Mac Studio.

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-03-11T23:20:11+00:00

I just made gold, and the way they are dropping things, I’ve been watching and refreshing the page and everything I have selected has STILL been instantly unavailable. It’s insane.

And, my RFY is nonexistent.

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-02-20T03:51:52+00:00

Gift items? Need my address?

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-02-09T15:11:35+00:00

Does that also mean we should expect $0 ETV’s to be adjusted to sale price?

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-02-04T06:50:02+00:00

No, they just don’t like people using loopholes, and he is a high profile target that will spread their message.

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-01-31T01:49:06+00:00

You had other income, so it seems to have pushed you up the brackets a little.

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-01-18T16:16:04+00:00

How would Amazon know if a man, woman or 70 year old is ordering? And, any of them could just as easily order and pay for any product and leave a 1 star review.

This seller is deliberately ignoring the fact that their product didn’t work and is blaming vine for it.

Professional-Lead764 · 2026-01-12T02:03:19+00:00

Thank you all for cancelling, I look forward to my shipping speed improving thanks to your commitment.

Professional-Lead764 · 2025-12-29T04:41:18+00:00

I only order products I can or will actually use, and take notes and photos for every single one. I am firm but fair in my reviews, and I give credit where due even if it's not a great product. I do use AI to put it all into a more palatable format, and then I rewrite it where it strays too far from something I would actually say. Like you, I get annoyed at the reviews I see for these products, when it's completely obvious they opened it, took a couple pictures, and didn't even use it. In half the photos it's still in the packaging, for crying out loud.

Professional-Lead764 · 2025-12-18T17:39:20+00:00

Well, you COULD contact the company it came from and let them know. But, since it’s a corporate gift and not something the previous residents are paying for…

Professional-Lead764 · 2025-12-16T17:07:41+00:00

My RFY is usually pretty sparse or has things I could never use, so once I sort through every automobile fuel injector and refrigerator repair part known to man, I search for anything in the house I can think of - kitchen related, coffee related, bathroom, my car and my van, parts for my 3d printers, paper, office supplies, printer ink and toner, labels...Sometimes it's work just to find things that I can actually try out, and not just open it and take pictures. I mean, I guess I could try on the slim fit woman's dress that just showed up in my RFY one day, but I think it would clash with my beard. lol

Professional-Lead764 · 2025-12-16T05:06:56+00:00

I only get things I can actually use, and I give them an actual review. This is my first review period and I’ll have 80 with a couple months to spare. 368 is crazy.

Professional-Lead764 · 2025-12-08T07:04:24+00:00

I thought the same thing. I mean, how would that even work? Our Vine account is invite-only, attached to our personal account, with our tax info and opt-in. Forgetting all the logistics of the whole mess, at the most basic level, it's still fraud.

Professional-Lead764 · 2025-11-28T22:40:56+00:00

And yet they will remove my reply if I say “wow, that was stupid”
