More anecdata: Roughly 30% of the technical products I've ordered in the past year have arrived with one of these cards. As with Colin (the author of the tweet), I'm also in Canada. It makes me wonder if the practice is more prevalent here?
Speculation: Maybe Amazon's efforts to combat this (if any) are not as strong in Canada?
- zrobotics 6y agoNot just a CA thing, roughly half of my Amazon purchases in the US have included these cards as well; the first time I remember seeing one of these cards begging for a review was in mid 2017. Oddly, that was also one of the first clearly counterfeit products I received from Amazon. Order was for some Nalgene lab solvent wash bottles, but the product I received had extremely poor printing for the warning diamond and were unvented. The reason I remember the card was that they offered $20 for a review, and IIRC I paid ~$15 for the product.
