vendors with ratings systems on their websites

[letsbuildasnowman1]

I have noticed a lot of vendors online have a review system for their juices that require approval before being posted, look more into it and ALL their juices have an overall 5 star rating practically. Then you go on forums for reviews and they are all over the boards. Maybe I am off but this seems dishonest to me. Your thoughts?

Star ratings...maybe so, maybe no. Taste and opinions are VERY subjective.

The primary reason that any online supplier of ANY merchandise will check your review before it is posted is to make sure you aren't swearing, complaining about a customer service issue, flaming someone or anything else that other customers might not want to see and/or care about.

i've been wary of the all top ratings for every product, its just so improbable in this day and age the every thing you have will satisfy every person you sell to. yes i feel lots of places are sanitizing their reviews, if not someone is paid to ghostwrite them, that happens all over. i wish someone smarter than I would start a list of suspected suppliers. Maybe that would either make them change their practaces, allert us to be watchfull or chase them off for being cheats. i have bought lots of stuff with poor ratings and have been pleased,just because someone gave a 1star doesnt condem it to death, but you do have to check them you wouldnt want to have a review praising german dictators on your website. this is great food for thought!

True and I agree with you to a point. I've have been to plenty of sites that seem to have legit reviews and just as many that seem like they are not honest. I just think its obvious who the ones are that are trying to fool. I am not here to try and call anyone out and I would basically recommend every vendor I have ordered from so far, but come on they are not fooling all of us.

Agreed! In the end its up to the buyer to fully do their research and of course we all know taste is subjective but you know when you a vender has a fully stocked website and no review below 4 starts that they are BSing you.

I usually avoid the review section for that exact reason. However I will occasionally browse them just to get a feel of what the juice will taste like in what I expect are totally regulated opinions. However, I did once receive a clearomizer from a vendor that was junk, I also received a good one, which I rated accordingly, it was pending approval as well, and did end up showing on their site, both the negative and positive reviews.
