Do you review books/products on Amazon?
Comments (17)I too usually post product reviews and try to give the 'pros' as well as any cons. I also try to include info that is not covered in the product description, and even one time contacted Amazon to update their description to include actual measurements. I reluctantly ordered an item, not really knowing if it would be right for my application....See MoreHow long do you have to leave a review at Amazon?
Comments (7)They are just correcting the listing. I bought some Stevia Extract (8 OZ) and the pic showed it as having an eye dropper top on it, making it easier, imho, to put just a couple of drops in a drink. I suggested to them in the email I sent that they either send me a sealed sterile eye dropper top for the bottles I received, or else send me a 2 OZ bottle which is the only size that has that top. I didn't think about it at the time, but the top to the 2 OZ may very well not fit the 8 OZ bottle and it would be a waste to use it and then rinse the dropper each time. hmmmm...now if they would send the 2 OZ bottle with a dropper, I could then refill it from the 8 OZ bottles. The existing top on the bottles is similar to most shampoo bottles...try getting 2 drops out of one of them, before you've had your morning coffee or tea...lol. I asked in the email if they knew how long it would be before the listing would be corrected and if they would notify me once it was done. I told them if it was not corrected before the time ran out on me leaving a review, that I would have to leave them a negative review, and told them I was sorry. I guess another possible solution would be for me to purchase a 2 OZ bottle that has the eye dropper on it and them not charge me the shipping on it. I'd be fine with that also. Well I just checked and they corrected the pic, but they have 2 listing for the exact same 8 OZ bottle, as far as I can tell, and they are 2 different prices. They also have 2 different listings for Stevia Glycerite, that both show the same exact pic, yet there are 2 different prices. Someone isn't paying too much attention to the detail on that listing.

Comments (55)Gardengal: I'll admit my words included a bit of exaggeration, but monopoly is as monopoly does. Is Amazon there yet: do they want to crush their competitors (bad), or just keep doing better than the competition (good)? So far personally I think they are mostly on the "good" side, but things change so I'm not guaranteeing my support forever. Angela & others: A company can outsource execution of something (a component of a product, or delivery to customer's door) but that doesn't absolve them of responsibility for keeping their word. When I one-click, I expect the product to show up as Amazon promised -- correct product, good shape, on time. If it doesn't, I'm mad. What I like about Amazon is they DO take responsibility by offering refunds, etc if something went wrong in the delivery chain, all the way to me. I'm aware of efforts they are trying to deal with porch pirates -- lock boxes, that weird service where they get to enter your home -- but personally I haven't needed that yet. So overall I'm still a fan. Ten, 20 years from now? Who knows....See MoreWould you buy something like this?
Comments (21)Thanks Gray, they looked like disposables because of the length. I think the virus is in OK now. I'm not going to worry about gloves because you can get it so many different ways, even from cash. Not even masks prevents it. Stay home, eat, read, and try not to touch my face after grocery shopping or going to the pharmacy which I need to do tomorrow. Yikes. I woke up Tuesday morning with some type of 48 hour virus and I hadn't been anywhere in a few days, although people had come to my house, & they weren't sick, and still not sick. Who knows how we get it?...See More- 3 years ago
