I hate these reviews so much

Worse is:
Q: Will this steering wheel work for my car
A: I don't have that car I don't know
- So, this at least has an answer... if you have it enabled on your account, Amazon will email you about products you've bought or sometimes even just looked at. It's worded as the question someone else posed, so some 60 year old woman gets a "does this steering wheel cover fit my Ferd Fteenthirty?" In an email, and she writes back "I don't know. I don't own that truck." And Amazon scoops the reply and posts it as an "answer".
  
  Yeah, I would really like to see them either stop doing that or make it very clear in their email that you should only respond if you know the answer to the question.
  
  I once bought a few bits via my 60 year old father's Amazon and he'd forward these emails to me and then ask if I was helpful when we saw eachother in person.
  
  It got better. The mails don't look like personal mails anymore and the amount of "I don't know" answers dropped.
- That's probably because the website sent an email to the person and asked them to answer the questions.

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

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

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

I love the 1-star reviews regarding late, missing, or damaged packaging because, yeah, that's Amazon fault.
- If Amazon is the shipper.... then it actually is Amazon's fault. I don't order from Amazon very much, but when I do, it always comes from an Amazon labelled van. Sure, the people that drive for them technically aren't "employees" but it's still a division of Amazon, with their logo slapped on the side of the truck. They can't hide behind "but they're contractors, not direct employees." So find better contractors who do a better fucking job, you god damned gaslighters. Owner is one of the richest motherfuckers on the planet and the reason he has so much god damned money is because people act like that kind of shit isn't their fault, "because they're contractors." It's still Amazon's choice to contract their labor and slap an Amazon label on their trucks.
  However, if the delivery was done by a third party, your position stands as correct.
  
  It doesn't even matter if it's Amazon's fault. It's not the product's fault. The review is supposed to be about the product.
  
  Even for the third party shipper, it's still Amazon's choice to contract out or permit shipping via that company.
  The actual problem with these reviews is that the review is meant to tell us if the product is good, not the seller. A review of Amazon on the product page for... I don't know, an electric toothbrush... on Amazon's storefront doesn't help me decide if that specific model of electric toothbrush is worth buying.
- What about if the product arrives with damaged or missing pieces (and the packaging is fine)? Serious question.
  
  I would start by contacting the seller. They may not be aware of returned items being put back into warehouse inventories. Either way, you can get a replacement or refund.

This also works the other way round.
One star because the delivery was delayed.
- 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.

The cardboard box was easy to open. 5 stars.

Why is this nsfw
- You can see the bear. Do you want to have kids watch this?
  
  It's NSFW not NSFK.

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

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

"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
- 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.

I'll never trust a review on the internet.
- Why not? Don't you know it's illegal to lie on the internet?

Clearly its an important aspect of the product!

Op clearly has never read real reviews....m post man on time is only 3/5 stars... Fucking amateur.

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

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.
