Wolfie Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I've noticed on Amazon that you can't take the reviews at face value. I've been caught out a couple of times buying from other sellers with good reviews and received some cheap knock-off tat or other. When I've gone back to look again, yes they might have all 5 star reviews but on closer inspection, most of them are written in the same poor english, similar wording and usually all posted on the same day.

Phoenix Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Needed a new self-defrosting freezer a couple of weeks ago. After some research I found 1 particular model which satisfied all the criteria. AO - £199, Co-op electrical £199.98, John Lewis £140. No brainer, except that JL was out of stock. However, they were as good as their word and emailed me when back in stock - £120, free delivery. When it came,2 working days later I examined it carefully to ensure they sent the right model (there's a cheaper. less well-appointed model with a simialr number), but yes, it was the right one. It's still £199 with Co-op and AO. So yes, you can get a good bargain on't'internet, and it saved me a trip to Leicester (another plus point). Good timing though, it's £199 now!

Almost immediately two reviews got posted giving it 5 stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with Amazon review system is you can have 10 sellers of one product, reviews from all 10 will be mixed together including those that have sold dodgy items. Aftershave/Perfume are the best reviews to see this in action, loads going for the cheaper option from other traders getting scammed. They should really include the seller you purchased from in the review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I ordered a hoe and it's two days late. I don't think amazon is all it's cracked up to be. Although the alternative was a lot more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be the bank holiday weekend I have got in touch with them and they reckon it shold be here. I actually went out yesterday and bought one from a shop with real people in. I bet I end up with 3 in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
