Being constantly asked to give everyone a review

pascal30

I don't understand when supermarkets ask for reviews on my grocery order. They're just ordinary products that I repeat buy.. it's weird

How was your broccoli, pascal? 🥦 😁

Out of stock - but you can't give it no stars, the lowest is one.

I’m happy to complete the Morrisons review request after each order. It gives me the opportunity to comment if there was something I wasn’t happy with and also to compliment the driver - it could help them. Only a couple of minutes of my time.

I started one on Trust Pilot the other day, but didn’t finish because it wanted my name and email.

I’m happy to review products for certain companies, e.g. Seasalt and M&S.

I do agree that wanting an ‘essay’ is too much, and is off-putting.
I’ve been glad of other people’s reviews on Amazon, particularly the one for the red-eyed, roaring dinosaur I was once thinking of for little Gds - one review said it hadn’t even lasted until the turkey was out of the oven!

I mostly ignore the requests, they’re usually too long and involved.

The other thing I’m increasingly getting is suggestions to buy something I’ve already bought. I’ve just bought a new television, why would I want to buy another one??

I have just bought two vouchers from Virgin for Christmas. Almost immediately an email arrived asking for my experience. What is that about. I pressed a few buttons, paid my money, 💰 that’s it really, I deleted.

I have purchased beauty, wine, Lego, football along with chocolate advent calendar’s, every single company has emailed asking if I would review the products.

I emailed them back with as we do not open advent calendar’s until 1/12 it is impossible to review these products 😡😡😡

We ignore requests for reviews unless we have something specific to say - good or bad. We don't have deliveries very often of anything as we usually physically shop.

I do read reviews about something I am thinking of buying, but read them on as many sites as possible just to see if there are any recurring problems. Amazon reviews are untrustworthy because many of the reviews are listed for the wrong product, and some products have different suppliers so it may depend on who supplied it. Trustpilot have a record of not checking the validity of their reviews, and a history of paid reviews (which 'they are trying to stop'). Lots of companies pay reviewers, it's a huge business.

Just don’t.

I am totally fed up with being asked to write reviews .

I hate being asked for reviews for Amazon. They request reviews for items I haven’t even unwrapped . I just delete all the emails.
I don’t mind ones about my parcel couriers as so far I’ve not had any problems. I especially like our Evri courier as he is great and he always gets top marks from me .

The last couple of times I've seen a doctor at our local surgery I've been sent a questionnaire by the NHS and asked to review them. I don't mind reviewing a courier or a supermarket but reviewing a GP is a step too far for me I'm afraid!

I went to a hairdresser and beauty salon today. This evening I had five separate emails asking me to reviews them! That’ll be a no.

I hate the demands for reviews for all and sundry! We were even asked for one immediately after being rescued assisted to return to port by the lifeboat while sailing when our tiller snapped and we were being blown onto rocks. Of course, we were immensely grateful, but we had only just tied up securely at the pontoon when one of the crew thrust a "How did we do?" tick-box form into my hand. All I wanted was a cup of tea! If not ambushed by the review form, we would have written to them with our thanks, which surely would have been more valuable and how do you rate a rescue at sea on a scale of 1 - 5?

SueDonim - I'd be fed up with five emails wanting a review over a hair dressing appointment .
My father completely lost his temper over an NHS survey . I had to read it to him and repeat each question three times .
Now I've had two more .

Only submit reviews for deliveries and just give star rating without any additional comments as I think they have a difficult and not very well paid job.

I read the reviews on Amazon before I buy something and find them helpful in general, unless they are of the type 'my niece didn't like it'. I also do reviews when I buy something for them, and try to make it a full well rounded review, often with photos.

I do check Amazon reviews before buying for any toys my grandchildren might want ( apart from Lego) but never leave reviews myself as apparently they are never suitable and I always get emails back from Amazon that I haven't followed the rules for posting. As far as I am concerned I leave an honest review with praise for the supplier or delivery when warranted, but as they never tell me what I have done that is "wrong" I don't bother any more, just delete the requests

The only one I've answered recently was BT who fixed my phone problem...they only asked if it was fixed, answer 1 or 2.. so I did.
Ebay are really the most annoying, as I don't ever know which purchase they are asking about! So I don't.

i also get fed up with messages to review items, even royal mail is sending surveys when i get a parcel delivered, amazon are one of the most annoying, i use something called bookbub that messages me with reduced kindle books, i have no sooner bought the book and get a message to review it. when i do buy something usually from amazon, they then take the review down if it is not good enough and i have not given it enough stars, now i just ignore the emails, life is too short to get annoyed about it.

The request for a review from every company drives me nuts too. Also what I find really annoying are the reviewers who say they can’t say what it’s like as it’s for a present and they haven’t given it yet- but they are sure it will be fine. What a waste of time !

I don’t believe in Trust Point stars nor any other groups.
I bought a leather sofa, first delivery was the wrong colour, second delivery the quality was not the same as in the shop. I complained several times on Trust point each time they replied that it was in hand, which it wasn’t so I complained again. The shop had Trust Point contact me, informing me that one article, one complaint even though there was no satisfaction.
There are several articles in the Guardain highlighting goods given for free if five stars are awarded.

I refuse to answer these reviews. It's not usually difficult to delete them. Just keep refusing to reply.

I delete them when they arrive. On odd occasion if I think it’s worthy I’ll give it a review good or bad.

I generally give reviews, and am always honest with what I say. Am also offered free books from NetGalley for reviewing, and found some great new authors.
I find reading reviews a real help when looking to purchase, so feel it's worthwhile doing.

It would be more useful if the company read them. I gave a bad review about a local restaurant, it could have been sorted with a simple apology but no reply

A friend works for a museum and gets embarrassed at having to push satisfaction surveys but they can’t get grants without giving out these surveys
