To clarify and address their guidelines:

  • My review DID focus on the fact that the product had arrived damaged. It was not a shipment experience as the package it arrived in was in perfect condition, just the book wasn't.
  • Noting profane or obscence, didn't call anyone any names.
  • No advertiements, promotional material, etc.
  • Did not included URLs to anything external or personally identifiable except a picture of the damage.
  • No attempt to manipulate Community content or features, nor did I contribute false, misealding or inauthentic content, I mean....I submitted a picture for proof.

Review gets cut off, but I go on to say something along the lines of: "I can only assume that the person that packed the book either ignored the damage or damaged it themselves intentionally."

Never got posted and got emailed that message above.

It's fine to say your item arrived damaged and give it a poor rating. Just not openly blame Amazon employees. I think that's the issue here.

Well, given the current climate, it's just very convenient that a book written by Trump would arrive obviously damaged. I don't think its in any way unreasonable to speculate that an employee damaged it on purpose or at the very least, ignored the damage and knowingly shipped a damaged product.

Bezos is the likeliest culprit. Dust the next copy and see if it has reptilian prints.

There was a video on here or somewhere where a lady who works in the warehouse was purposely bending and damaging Trump material while packing them. Find the video and send it to Amazon with your review and tell them you want the review posted.

I'd like to also point out that she wasn't wearing her masking, infecting our hats with her BS. Informative video, thanks.

Have you cancelled Prime yet?

Unfortunately, outside of the leftie thought review police and pro-China catalgoue editors, they have no real competition in what they do.

So I guess I have no choice but to Red Pill Amazon now, starting by playing at their own game. Imma keep returning any damaged copies they send until I get what a paid for, a mint condition work of art.

I'm not sure what it is like in the UK, but Amazon Prime in the US is $120/year to get "free 2 day shipping" along with some video content.

If you cancel Prime in the US, you can still get free shipping if you spend over $25 with waiting 4-5 days for your products.

I cancelled Prime after they put a BLM banner on their front page. I've been avoiding using Amazon instead using Newegg, Monoprice, etc. When I do order from them (sometimes their price is by far the cheapest), I split my orders in $25 increments to hurt Amazon's margins as much as I can.

Here it's £80/year and generally I do get next day shipping, with small exceptions + the lame movie library and w.e. else they include that I never use.

They don't really have much competition in the UK when it comes to anything other than electronics (a few other sources for that), so it's a bit tough to cut them out.

And to be honest, I'd rather that these companies realised the actual reality of the world they lived in and stopped playing politics all together rather than having to avoid them. There's a reason Trump is still on Twitter and not on Gab or w.e. other places have spawned over time. We need these comapnies to be Apolitical and just mind thier business and stay out of politics. Anyway, expecting my return pickup tomorrow. Might get the hardcover instead while I'm at it.

Prime isn't prime anyway. Their 2 days shipping is "from the day the order is processed". Cancelled prime after 3 orders when every. Single. One took longer than a week on "prime shipping." The entire company is a scam. Use ebay for the same fulfillment but faster shipping....

I have stopped buying from amazon. I suggest you do the same.

I’ve had a similar experience where my review criticised Amazons listing for having wrong information.

They rejected my review and left up the wrong information.

There is a separate process for addressing shipping problems, it’s not supposed to be part of the review.

Fair enough, still deosn't make up for the fact that I've enoucountered countless "damaged item" reviews on countless products in the past. You could randomly pick a popular product right now, scroll through reviews, and find a review complaining about a damaged product. Many are allowed to be posted, usually.

if all you said in the review was "it arrived damaged" it still would have been removed. You are totally in the wrong here for not following the guidelines for leaving a review.

Most products on Amazon have "damaged item" reviews posted. It's literally easier to count products that DON'T have those types of reviews. This was singled out.

something being out of policy doesnt mean its ok, those reviews have not been pruned yet

Return it for an exchange. Keep doing it until you get one not damaged

hello. it probably wasn't on purpose. stuff really gets tossed around in those trucks and certainly on their way to being stowed. ask if they can process a return and grade it for WHD/return credit

hope that helps

2
furyanwolf [S] 2 points ago +2 / -0

Yes I have requested refund and have been granted it. Hopefully the second copy isn't also damaged, THEN things really get suspicious.

ausglitsch 1 point ago +1 / -0

of course

i have seen people be.. less than careful with political books from all sides, but actively damaging them is a zero-tolerance terminable offense

cameras are everywhere. people don't just get away with that stuff

It's a nice thought bro, but look around. Half these people are unironically communists and hate the west and everything we and POTUS stands for. My gut tells me it's intentional, all the way.

hey retard sorry but this is your fault 100% that it was removed. That spot is for a review of the item, not the condition or external packaging. It says right there why it was denied in line 1, "your review should focus on specific features of the product."

There is a separate field to leave a review of the seller.

You should just return it for a refund until it arrives undamaged.

hey yo chill mate, yea I noticed that argument a few times now, but in all fairness, the amount of times I've seen "damaged item" reviews on Amazon is actually high enough that it'd be easier counting the products I've seen WITHOUT a damaged review. I.e. they allow those types of reviews through all the time! Just not for this apparently.
