Sort reviews by new. It’s amazing how many “5 star” items have an average of 2-3 stars when you look at the latest reviews.
I was looking for some L plates for my car. A lot of reviews called them “beautiful”... it is a white square with a letter L that sticks to your car... trying to find one which didn’t fall off or damage the car was far from trivial. Fortunately newer reviews mentioned damage or falling off or does the job which gave some steer.
I have been purposefully shopping elsewhere recently. Other sites are usually cheaper and there is less doubt about what is actually going to get received.
- beowulfey 6y agoI love that Steam shows an average of recent reviews. I think it’s very telling that Amazon does not.
- batterylow 6y agoI thought the reason Steam had "recent reviews" was to account for patches/updates and so on?
- dfxm12 6y agoNot sure why that wouldn't apply to other products. Product design/packaging/formulas change, as does a seller's customer service...
- tt433 6y agoSorting by new also usually exposes things like hijacked item or seller pages more easily
