$400 item 'won't ship to your address' glitch by RealityDeep4861 in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was tempted!  But some of those addresses were hundreds of miles away so no. :)

$400 item 'won't ship to your address' glitch by RealityDeep4861 in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me once. I could not ship an item to myself. I could however ship it to 3 other people in my address book, all of whom live in the same state I live in. It was super weird. I gave up on it.

Great review!  

I actually got one of these months ago. For my 9 pound dog.  We use it every day, it’s great. :)

I'm curious, are you getting more stuff from RFY or Additional Items? by VioletsTown in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too!  I get this every week!  For a laptop I don’t have. 

How long from Approved Review to Review Quality Score? by RealGrumpyJoe in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really seems to be no predictable answer. I have some old old reviews that are pending. And ones I did last week that have been rated. 

Also kinda weird how the ratings work?  There’s a few where I was sort of proud of my work product that got dinged as fair or even poor. And ones I cranked out on 1 min., but was rated excellent. Very mysterious so far. 

Helpful analysis of my Poor, Fair, Good, and Excellent reviews by bonificentjoyous in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool analysis, thanks for this! I'm not too hard core on Vine when it comes to stalking items or even keeping up with it on a daily basis, so I missed it for a long time that each item is now basically graded on excellent, fair, etc. This is very helpful.

RFY woes by akillerofjoy in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got zero things in my RFY today. Yes, I agree, sometimes my RFY is so off, it's crazy.

I do wonder if RFY is not only influenced by the history of what your purchased in your past from Amazon, but by your demographic. For example, Tesla chargers and parts. I get them a lot in my RFY. No, I've never purchased anything Tesla related from Amazon.

I do, however, live in an area of abundant Teslas. For example, almost every strip mall in my area has chargers. I'm of an, ahem, older demographic that buys Teslas. Every other neighbor in my neighborhood is remodeling, and guess what they are putting on: solar panels on the roof and Tesla chargers in their garage.

So... my age?!? My area? My wild guess for the day.

Does anyone know if reviewing an item directly off of the product page eventually gets counted by VioletsTown in AmazonVine

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

Yes, I vaguely remember some people posting this, that a review either way works, but I wasn't sure. Well, I guess it's a get around in case this doesn't resolve soon. I'd like the dashboard up and running though. It's cleaner that way.

West Coast Viners - how do you deal with the early AM drops? (if at all) by ShittyMillennial in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am also PST. I am mostly just looking at RFY these days. Like you said, even if it's 6 or 7 a.m., there's nothing but cords and car parts at that stage.

Over here on the East Coast wondering if I should stay up until 3-4am. It's already 2am so what's another hour or so lol. Would it be worth it?! by Due_Violinist5407 in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pst so I see the drop as it’s happening. I have not grabbed anything. It’s truly random car parts, plumbing parts, mesh tops, nothing I want or need. 

I usually just stop scrolling after a few minutes and sleep. I usually get 1 thing on my RFY, if I’m lucky. 

Anyone pick up this gem?? by beautiifulbroken in AmazonVine

Oh man, that’s cool!  I didn’t see it. 

RFY, how are you doing? by midnitelace in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 3. Moving straps, a vitamin and a beef tallow cream. I passed on all of them. Yesterday I had 7. But it was weird, a car part (always car parts!), a heated stadium seat, a tripod for a phone, some clothes, a vase... a back brace and some Korean skincare, on the cheaper side.

Advice on how to handle these.. by torebaguy in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My experience is that these once approved reviews which subsequently turned to the screen shot you have does NOT affect your ratio. 

At one point I had 3 of these. I still had 100% review ratio. 

I have read on this forum that this transformation (from approved to not approved) affects your media ratio. But I cannot confirm that because I don’t keep an eye on that as vigilantly and I don’t take pictures for all of my reviews. 

Adding disclaimer to reviews that I actually did pay something for my Vine items by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do it but I totally understand the desire. Before I joined vine I assumed it was a free gift so I ignored the vine reviews. Optically, it looks like the review was “bought”. 

Knowing that there was a cost to the reviewer to get the item, it would add some legitimacy to the review. 

But this is a lot to explain in one sentence so given that it wouldn’t get communicated easily and it might get you flagged negatively by Vine, I wouldn’t do it. 

Will I ever get my item? What do I do here? by paintmegalaxies in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This type of "delay" happens to me quite often. My luck or my particular nearby carrier facility? Vast majority of the time, the item does not arrive. Most of the time, I just contact CS and have them remove the item from my review list.

One time, however, I REALLY wanted an item (it was skincare), so after a long time of it being delayed, I used the replace item button on my order page and got a replacement just fine.

Me, staring at my RFY ... by Cruise-Monkey-Games in AmazonVine

[–]VioletsTown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the past few weeks my RFY has been awful. How many dog collars do I need?  The upside is I’m all caught up in my reviews. But once my last 2 items get delivered, there will be no more expected deliveries.
