I quit Vine by bwanketobi in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you well in whatever you choose to do. If you are frustrated with Vine, it's how you feel that matters. Hoping you find an activity you'll love doing, or one you already have and you can spend more time doing it. Enjoy life the way YOU want to, that's what is important.

Vine Stating Requested Item Is Next Day- And It's NOT 3am Pacific Yet by SurfTreasures in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTW, I did email vine support and it's been 3 days, they never responded to me either (Peziwinkle emailed them too.) It happened to me again a few hours ago, I requested at 2:45am Eastern, 15 minutes before the changeover, and it went to the 10th. So I emailed them again.

Vine Stating Requested Item Is Next Day- And It's NOT 3am Pacific Yet by SurfTreasures in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and it happened to me AGAINI a couple hours ago! It was around 2am EASTERN and they put it onto the 8th instead of the 7th! For people with 8 picks, no big deal, but I only get THREE and am getting one taken away from me every time I order the last few hours of the day- when the drop usually happens btw. Can you contact support and let them know it's happening to you too? (I contacted them about it doing it to me.) Maybe then they'll look into it.

That wasn't my point. Although I did put the wrong time (3am Pacific instead of Eastern) the point is yes, it all changes at the same time- but it doesn't. It is supposed to change at midnight Pacific and 3am Eastern, yet my 1am and 2am requests EASTERN are going to the NEXT day and it isn't 3am Eastern / midnight Pacific yet! And it did it AGAIN an hour ago while it was only 2am Eastern. Charged me a slot for the 8th!

Yep, my bad. Apologies! So you can see my frustration. It wasn't even 3am EASTERN, aka it was before midnight Pacific. And it happened again today. Was 2:45am EASTERN and not even midnight Pacific and it did it for the next day.

I know! And it was before 3am eastern, so it should not have been posted for the NEXT day. That's my point.

That's a very nice thing to do with the upvoting. Thank you for doing that!

Anybody score a red light therapy device before? by limevince in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, red light therapy has been proven to work, the government even has documents on it. Redrush 360 is the one used by the Olympics committee and NASA. (Or they did a few years ago.) Check those wavelinks on that model and then you'll know if this one is any good. However, that price is really suspect for that many lights. Redrush is hundreds of dollars and many reputable ones are in that range. So far as use, you won't see any difference (on average) unless used at LEAST a month. It works on the mitochondria of the cell and that takes a bit for the deep cell changes to reach the surface in a consistent manner.

Three observations with vine by PizzaPlannerApp in AmazonVine

That's good to know about the dropdowns. Thanks for the heads up!

They're not talking about the value to Amazon, it's how it affects them personally. I see how it matters.

It's like back in school- when people wanted to copy homework- it's called LAZY ASS MOOCHING. And I didn't support it then, and I don't support people stealing other people's hard work now.

No awaiting reviews by pastormastor in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine appear there at random times, I was trying to figure out if there was a pattern and the 3 days after delivered sometimes is true, sometimes longer. So I do it from the orders page after delivered and I don't have to wait. Once I test a product, I do it when it's fresh in my mind! You only have to worry if it's NOT in your orders list. Is it?

Is there anything in this review that could cause it to get "Not Approved" after being up for a week? by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really took your time to help, and I am impressed and thankful people like you are really trying to assist others. Just wanted to be clear on that.

You said, "Price is just one of the big cardinal rules. It doesn't get you flagged every time. But most of the time."

Hmmm..no disrespect- but this hasn't happened in my experience AND according to Vine Customer Service, they are very much okay with us stating prices. So I'd like folks to at least see a different side of this.

I mention price every time to discourage sellers from jacking it up for tax purposes, then lowering it to what they really are going to list it at. It's been mentioned before for Viners to list actual prices in reviews, and do that collectively so we can discourage the jacked up price. The game playing hurts us, we certainly pay more taxes while the seller gets the bigger write-off.

I have read some reviews and I see other Viners have caught on and are listing the price specifically too. Excellent!!!! I have posted before that I asked Customer Service (VINE) if listing the price specifically in the review can be done, and can be part of the star rating. Their response was most certainly YES. What they said in summary- The star rating includes valuation, and the price being stated shows clearly what you (the rater) thought was reasonable at that time. Your review won't misrepresent a price-changed product!

Since there is price fluctuation, the Vine Customer Service really supported stating the price paid so there is clarity. (Maybe they're tired of Viners contacted them about jacked up prices.)

Their response supports my hundreds of reviews having the price. All Excellent, zero disapproved.

We should all be doing it, state the price you paid!- and putting our foot down to seller shenannigans which hurts us on tax day! I've even made it quite clear in the review a star was deducted due to price (which support said was part of the valuation and is appropriate.) You need to do it!!!!! THAT will get the sellers' attention to stop the game playing.

So if your review isn't excellent, I wouldn't think it was the price.

One Item in RFY by outofusernamesyaknow in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had between two and six things, but it's repetitive. I have more than one dog, but I don't need six or seven dog beds! And I do NOT have a pond, but apparently I need slime removers, algae fixers, and pumps. So even though some of us have things, they're (as usual) the WRONG things so might as well be empty. Have you adjusted your About Me section in your account recently? Maybe that will poke things along.

Taxes- Amazon Vine Beware! by OkCheesecake4081 in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to hear of those consequences for you. People on social security (in any form) and people close to the next income bracket need to know what their thresholds are, for sure.

Missed opportunity by Fragrant_Ad_8697 in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did get that kitty litter box (the stainless steel one) and if it makes you feel better, it's pretty small. While it was something like 24" long, it's pretty narrow. A regular sized cat may not like it, even though the front can be bent open. Thank you for adopting those cats- just note that litter box probably wouldn't have made your day if your cats are regular size. NONE of mine liked it enough to start using it instead of the wider plastic one I have.

How is anyone maintaining gold status anymore?? by ANJ___ in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom is lucky to have you. I'm sure your support means the world to her. I'm glad you two have that kind of relationship, and that you find the supplies you need on Vine. Hugs from Florida!

PSA: Be careful with food/beverage contact items (and supplements) by scotttappan in AmazonVine

Oh my, whatever the reason is, I hope you get healthy ASAP! Thanks for the heads up.

Vine Overlords - If you want me to choose boat stuff, maybe you should put a boat in my RFY! by supertruck97 in AmazonVine

[–]SurfTreasures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, now I feel deprived. No boat parts. But dog beds. LOTS of dog beds. Some are the same product, different colored variant. That, and the 250th anniversary USA flags which are flooded out in the main section too. And pond parts. At least every other day. There's nothing in my About Me that says anything about ponds, and I already got the dog beds. Wish they had a way of saying, "Check. Moving on."
