I like that.
I have always thought verified purchases should have their reviews weighted higher anyway. it will cut down on the fanbois of another book/product from bringing down another item. |

I dislike it. I don't want Amazon choosing for me which reviews to display. I want the most recent reviews, period.
I like how they put a "This customer is a verified purchaser" or something like that when they purchased from Amazon. |

I like this.
Just the other day I found a link for a URX II being sold by KAC that I had been looking for. It only had a 2.5 star rating, so I clicked to find out why. 1 review gave it 1 star because "this product is against Amazon's policies regarding sales of Assault Weapon Parts." The other one had a 2 star review claiming "this rail is way overpriced, it isn't even free float!" Both obvious bullshit, but still, it makes the listing look like that of a shitty product. It makes sense that true reviews, or at least those "favorited" as being helpful should be given more weight. |

If someone would sell a device that would let me slap bitches through an Internet connection, I'd give that a 5 star review. |

Whenever I'm buying something on Amazon. I always click on read the newest reviews first.
That's real tough.
Also I don't submit reviews for things I buy. Unless they don't work, and are total shit. I usually just return the item. Hell, I print our a return slip. UPS drives out to my house the next day and picks up the package. Slaps their return label on it. Tough to beat service like that.! I'll be damned If I'm going to take up my time, to say I liked a movie. I just bought 6 things tonight. But on the other hand, if A Blue-Ray transfer looked like a poor VHS copy. I'll slam it. Think I left maybe 4, 1 Star ratings. How someone can review something they didn't buy from Amazon, is beyond me. That's just silly. |

This will help camera reviews where a bunch of Canon fags shit all over the Nikon products and Nikon dildos shit all over the Canon stuff.

I sometimes get orders the next day after purchase, and my Prime orders almost always ship same day. I bought a new bivvy sack and whisky glasses yesterday at like 4PM and got a shipping notification like 4 hours later. I don't think I've ever had a Prime order take over 2 business days. |

If it's larger than 200gb it IS fake 100% no questions asked, no exceptions. If the price is too good to be true on other sizes, it is most likely fake as well.

I enjoy writing reviews of the things I buy because others that do help me with questions I have. Many list specs not included in the description. I'll include these as well to help others.
