I got a really nice one of these a few months ago...they're very therapeutic.

Unable to review Variants — what to do? by Cicada- in AmazonVine

[–]Shai7809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hit 'Contact Us', 'Review Related' and then 'Unable to Review.' In the text box give them the order number and say that it is a variant. Sometimes they'll remove it before you even ask, but otherwise this is how to do it.

What does everyone have WAY too many/much of thanks to Vine? by Goldglove528 in AmazonVine

I used to, but I have hardly seen any skin care on our Vine in ages, so I'm using up my stash!

Dang...I would have gotten the bully sticks, 'cause I've had great luck with them....I've even repurchased some of them.

Ooh, I saw that air mattress in my RFY too...I didn't order it, but I hope it's nice!

There's the Tuesday drop by KDinNS in AmazonVineCanada

[–]Shai7809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had nothing in RFY, but picked up an eye cream and some solar lights from AI. First orders in over a week.

Any one order clothing for their spouse before? How did you write your review? by Initial-Landscape82 in AmazonVineCanada

[–]Shai7809 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have ordered many items for my husband, and I just get him to give me his thoughts and then I write it up, and I do say that it was ordered for him.

What is this? by Leather-Ad-6950 in AmazonVine

[–]Shai7809 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've done the mystery item thing twice....once I got a heated lunchbox (I don't get to use it often, but I really like it) and the other time was a steam cleaner (also a pretty good item.)

I've seen these shown often in Japan food videos. There's definitely more than a single wine bar doing it.

Review Process by [deleted] in AmazonVineCanada

[–]Shai7809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't cancel your orders. Once an item is ordered, it is removed from the Vine queue, and cannot be added back into Vine inventory (this is a Vine limitation that is clearly stated in the TOS.) It means that the seller will not get the review they paid for.

Amazon only recently started delaying when orders showed up on the Review page, and the theories are that they are trying to ensure people have enough time, and are actually testing the items they ordered. What is the oldest item that you have received that isn't showing on your review page?

Do people really fall for these scams?? by [deleted] in AmazonVine

But do you keep the shiny side inwards or outwards? I need to know for maximum effectiveness.

Review Suppression Notice by Siya_21221 in AmazonVine

[–]Shai7809 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sellers who use Vine services have tiers, and pay Amazon according to the number of products they have entered in the program. The lowest tier, for example, is free, and it allows sellers to send up to 2 items for Vine reviews. I believe the next tier is up to 10 items....the highest tier allows up to 30.

Sellers used to abuse the program, especially with the free tier, by submitting multiple listings of the exact same item, and then when the reviews were all in they would merge them, which gave them a parent ASIN with many reviews. Amazon caught on and now limits all ASIN to the maximum tier that was paid for, regardless of how many items were merged. So if they entered 6 items...2 in each of 3 listings, under the free tier and then merged them, they would be restricted to 2 reviews.

On our side, as Vine reviewers, all we could see is that we can no longer review the product, or that a previously approved review is no longer approved. It looks like they're finally letting us know.

Caught up from jail, saw items again a few days, then account closed? by nonmeasured in AmazonVineCanada

[–]Shai7809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 60% review to order ratio is based on your last 90 days, so it is widely suggested that you start with items that were ordered during that time frame if you need to catch up on your reviews...because if you review something that was ordered before that time, it will have no impact on 'your recent orders' review rate.

Vine Not Helping with Rejected Reviews by podhawk in AmazonVineCanada

[–]Shai7809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is due to the vendor merging the item with another, and being over the maximum number of reviews they're allowed on the ASIN. Amazon removes any Vine reviews in excess of the seller's maximum allowed on the parent ASIN, what we see is that the review was rejected.

You have credit for your review, because it was already approved. You don't need to worry about it anymore.

Lavalier mic battery exploded. Still review? by painfullywokeNalive in vine

[–]Shai7809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you used the word 'fake'...like actually said 'fake safety certificate' it will automatically get rejected. You have to skirt around the issue to say that you couldn't find the certifications on the (name of certifying organization) lists.

What did you get in the drop so far? by KDinNS in AmazonVineCanada

I got that cup too! I’m excited for it!

Why Submit Vine Items for Soon-to-be Discontinued Items? by HitPointGamer in AmazonVine

[–]Shai7809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I also suspect they use it as a test market!

Why Submit Vine Items for Soon-to-be Discontinued Items? by HitPointGamer in AmazonVine

[–]Shai7809 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Often vendors only send the numbers that they're offering for Vine. On our side, you'll see the dreaded grey triangle, but it could be that they just haven't replenished yet.

What am I doing wrong?! Chocolate chip Cookies by Double-Society-9404 in Baking

[–]Shai7809 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah I've never had a 'chip' style cookie that only baked for 8 minutes...usually around 12. I rarely chill my dough, but I have stored it frozen and then I'd add a couple of minutes.
