Good reviews vs. bad

Here is your answer regarding whether to buy this product as well as other Electronics sold by multiple 3rd party vendors. ========================================================================== Excerpt from my review from July, 2010: "I myself could really use such a device, HOWEVER !!! I bought a new iPod Touch 32GB 3G as well as some other electronic devices like a camera and have been buying accessories like mad on Amazon. Something I have noticed is that when the product has reviews like this one: 50% 5 star reviews, 16% 4 star reviews, and 26% 3 stars or less reviews(very mixed review); something is screwed up with the product. If you notice, there is no brand name for the product. It says (By HandHeldItems) but that is actually a store. This means different sellers will send you different brand USB/AC adapters, whatever they have. They don't get them from the HandHeldItems store. If you call up this item multiple times you will notice that the "SHIPS FROM AND SOLD BY" seller often changes from, for example, SF Planet to ElectroshopUSA to Ultimate Web Sales to importer520 or eForcity. So, my conclusion and advice to you is if you are intent on buying this product(or any very mixed review product) keep calling it up until it comes from a reliable supplier, which, I am convinced sends the products that get the 5 star ratings. I have had very good luck with SF Planet and eForcity, but that is just my personal experience. I hope this helps someone make a wiser purchase. I have learned the hard way" :(

Thanks for this info! Some of the reviews are very conflicting on this point.

Okay so here's a nice and straight forward answer. IT DEPENDS. Maybe some buyer was being really cheap and wanted to save $2 and bought it from some no name seller and got a water down cologne and hence you see the negative reviews. Buy your colognes from Amazon. You always get the real deal.

Depends on who you asked, if they had a good or bad experience with it. Might get some pretty scary replies with that one!

Negative as well as positive SHILL REVIEWS are a persistent and widespread problem on Amazon...in fact, it's an entire industry (google "reputation management")...many of the biggest corporations (e.g. Bose) use them!

I depend a lot on the reviews here on Amazon. More and more, I am seeing bogus reviews being written. Not only do I want to see Amazon deleting these reviews, I want to see these liars punished for their attempts to mislead consumers. It is bad business for both the companies doing this, and it makes Amazon look careless for allowing it to continue.

Hi Scott, I reviewed this product and if you look you can see I reviewed a wide variety of items I purchased through amazon including 3 different brands of this product. Some of the products I loved. Some I hated and some were just ok. I assure you I don`t work for this sellar or any of the others.

I suppose it's their convincing advertising. Also the assumption that Amazon sells quality products. Amazon should read reviews and respond accordingly. We threw good money away on this purchase.

Hi Rebecca, my first batch was bad, and they refunded me and the second one was good. It was hassle free. I feel it really help. I hope you have as good experience as I did.

Fake reviews will happen, but that doesn't mean they are all fake. I just popped on didn't see this earlier. Can't say for everyone but certainly working for me, helping to lower my appetite.

You can believe both. Some items have more than one seller and all of the reviews are lumped under the product, even if there are 20 sellers. You have to look and see who you are buying from. Some sellers are honest, others not so much.

My first reply about a month ago: "Whenever I see so many 5 star ratings I head over to Engadget, gizmodo, the wall street journal, etc. to see what they have to say. They like it. They think it's a game changer and that seems to fit in well with the reviews here." After a Month with the Dash Express my revised feelings: The poster above couldn't have been more right. It was a total buzz campaign at first. I was really let down by the Dash Express and any 5 star reviews are grossly exaggerating the positives and ignoring some serious flaws. Sorry for doubting you Michael.

Because they have better things to do than investigate suspicious reviews for a $20 amplifier? Surely the precedence from erasing suspicious, but not provable, negative reviews has much greater negative implications than positive.

Hi Shirley, thank you for your question, I believe 95% of people will find this valuable when researching for the right brand. I cant comment on other brands because we are not in the market of bad mouthing others. With that said, I believe we have two things that is ahead of 99% of other brands. 1: Quality 2: Customer support. I cant say which one of the two is #1, but what I can say is we take very good care of our customers i.e providing additional tips and support to help you reach your goal (whatever that might be.) 94% Of our customers love our tips and detailed guides. We dont believe in sending you paper leaflets which will block up your mail box. I hope this will help. All the best P.S, we have been in stock for the last two weeks.

Most people are asked to try out certain products and write reviews for them

We're just helping each other out one comment at a time. The best place to find out about the products is from the people who use them. Comments have helped me decide on whether to buy or not, many times.
