Some of that blame is on Amazon as well, they send out emails to people that bought the thing being like "someone asked X about the product you ordered, do you know the answer?".
If Amazon is the shipper.... then it actually is Amazon's fault. I don't order from Amazon very much, but when I do, it always comes from an Amazon labelled van. Sure, the people that drive for them technically aren't "employees" but it's still a division of Amazon, with their logo slapped on the side of the truck. They can't hide behind "but they're contractors, not direct employees." So find better contractors who do a better fucking job, you god damned gaslighters. Owner is one of the richest motherfuckers on the planet and the reason he has so much god damned money is because people act like that kind of shit isn't their fault, "because they're contractors." It's still Amazon's choice to contract their labor and slap an Amazon label on their trucks.
However, if the delivery was done by a third party, your position stands as correct.
Even for the third party shipper, it's still Amazon's choice to contract out or permit shipping via that company.
The actual problem with these reviews is that the review is meant to tell us if the product is good, not the seller. A review of Amazon on the product page for... I don't know, an electric toothbrush... on Amazon's storefront doesn't help me decide if that specific model of electric toothbrush is worth buying.
I would start by contacting the seller. They may not be aware of returned items being put back into warehouse inventories. Either way, you can get a replacement or refund.
Yeah and this annoys me so much more like how much brain cells do you need to understand that just because delivery was delayed does not mean the product itself is not worth buying.
I can find reviews of the content all over... Maybe review the actual Blu-ray/DVD/CD/whatever. Good quality video/sound? Extra features? Movie was garbage but the DVD is excellent? That's 5/5
I'm pretty sure ~80% of people can't tell the difference between 1080i and 4k. They'd more likely complain about the color settings they set on their own TV than artifacting.
I always give the Amazon delivery people a good revie (if they dent mess up). Those are the average people just trying to make it every day. They work their asses off for the dark empire. If I can help them get a raise or a better bonus Amazon gift card at Christmas, I will do my part.
