VINE Reviews - Don't use them

Just a warning to anyone thinking of using VINE reviews.
Be prepared for them to not even use your product, look at the listing and detail page for info and to make up stories about their usage of your items.

We released 3 products at the same time. We ran 90 vine reviews in 2 countries totalling 180 reviews.
Many of them at well reviewed and even some 5 star reviews you can tell they havent actually used the product but hey at least they gave 5 stars.

It’s the 1-2-3 star reviews that flood in from VINE only. many people review our products and like them because they actually use them as intended. VINE reviewers say things like, “we bought this item” they didnt it’s free, then go on to complain about specifics which have already been addressed in the description. like NOT FOR KIDS plastered on our listing and they they complain that it’s no suitable for their kids 1 star… there are countless like this dragging down the ratings with fake information half of which you know they havent even opened the product.

Amazon wont remove them so you’re completely screwed, you lose stock, you lose money and you get fake reviews from people not investing or interested in the product in the first place, they just get a freebie.

I hope this helps someone.
