"The hotel was fine. Everything was perfect. But it was raining and cold. 3/5"

Worse is:

Q: Will this steering wheel work for my car

A: I don't have that car I don't know

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

That's probably because the website sent an email to the person and asked them to answer the questions.

[–] ChillCapybara@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 2 years ago

As nsfw posts go, this deserves 0/5 stars.

I love when someone asks a specific question about a product, and some boomer comes in with "I haven't received it yet".

[–] Inktvip@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Some of that blame is on Amazon as well, they send out emails to people that bought the thing being like "someone asked X about the product you ordered, do you know the answer?".

"I ordered the wrong one, it didn't fit." 1/5

I bought a new fridge last week, one of the negative points mentioned in one of the reviews: “It’s smaller than my old fridge”.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This also works the other way round.

One star because the delivery was delayed.

[–] snowraven@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah and this annoys me so much more like how much brain cells do you need to understand that just because delivery was delayed does not mean the product itself is not worth buying.

"This game looks great! I've been waiting all year for this release and can't wait to play it! 5/5"

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"I love this movie! 5/5"

I can find reviews of the content all over... Maybe review the actual Blu-ray/DVD/CD/whatever. Good quality video/sound? Extra features? Movie was garbage but the DVD is excellent? That's 5/5

[–] UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure ~80% of people can't tell the difference between 1080i and 4k. They'd more likely complain about the color settings they set on their own TV than artifacting.

[–] Crabhands@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Many companies reimburse the cost of the product in exchange for a 5 star review. Don't trust all amazon reviews!

[–] Tigbitties@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll never trust a review on the internet.

[–] Absolutemehperson@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Why not? Don't you know it's illegal to lie on the internet?

[–] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

there is a place to review the delivery itself. It takes looking for it, but amazon does have a form for it.

[–] ShooBoo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I always give the Amazon delivery people a good revie (if they dent mess up). Those are the average people just trying to make it every day. They work their asses off for the dark empire. If I can help them get a raise or a better bonus Amazon gift card at Christmas, I will do my part.
