Oh.. that would have been nice to know. I was always told it was 3 weeks.

@Juliettia
I did email back, but it makes me worry, you know? It makes me anxious.
I don't want to get a reputation as some deadbeat reviewer who takes ages to review everything. Plus.. I don't know what'd happen if I ignored it.

Back when the program was newish I had an issue with that (long story, never rec'd product due to change in the price guidelines) and it literally took months to clear up, so I really don't want to get 'flagged' by the system again.


Besides.. IMO its always better to fix things that can be fixed, you know? less

The time frame has always been 3 weeks including shipping. This has not changed.

The past due message was recently updated, and the mentioning of a week for shipping was an error that is being corrected.

The past due message is a reminder, if you are having a problem just email me and let me know what is going on. less

Honestly, I know things have stayed the same but I have gotten an overdue for my assignments like.. the past 3 times and it's like "What? Already? No way!" and I have to check the calendar. Smartpost is rather lengthy for some folks (and the tracking isn't updated as well).

Does this mean we will not have a bit more time (the message being updated)? I know that I've only ever had to e-mail someone to tell them what's going on and I try to do that. You guys have always been good with it but I feel bad racking up those e-mails when I otherwise would've been fine. less

I don't like getting the "past due" emails, either, just because it makes me feel bad. Sometimes a toy is either not working out and it's taking longer for me to learn how to use it / try to enjoy it, and other times I feel like I have too little time between receiving a toy and needing to post a review, regardless of whether a toy is not a good match for me. And I feel really guilty, even though I haven't gotten any further scolding like "Hey hurry up" or anything. Feeling rushed lowers the quality of my reviews, and that bugs me, too. I also don't want to come off like a slacker to the admins if I'm late for multiple assignments. Just sharing thoughts. less

Okay. We have ALWAYS had 3 weeks to review a product. Here is my issue.
It is giving me 3 weeks from the date of accepting the review, and telling me, in the email, I have 3 weeks to review and that it also gave me a week for shipping.

This means it should bug me a month later. I would be fine with that.

In fact, I was fine with it before shipping changed. But Smartpost takes 7-10 days to get to me EVERY time. Not to mention it should go by the date of shipping, not the date of acceptance anyways, since its not possible to receive it the same day you accept it. So basically by the time I get this email I have had the toy for 11-14 days, assuming it emails me correctly. Most recently, I have been getting emails a few days early. For example the toy it is asking about shipped on the 10th. 3 weeks, or 21 days from that would be the 31st.. not today. If it's going by the accept date, it needs to go from the shipping date instead.


I understand wanting a fast turnaround time, but you slowed the shipping method, and I know I sure as heck am not getting 3 weeks to review ANYTHING due to that. I get 2 at the most before the system bugs me.
I dearly wish I was one of the lucky few who still got their stuff in 2-3 days with smartpost. But I am not. It is very slow and unpredictable for me.

So, can you please.. please.. please adjust your system? It's not doing what it says it is (3wk for review 1wk for ship) and its really annoying when I know one week of that was wasted waiting for the toy.

I'm really sorry if this comes off as bitchy, I have a horrible cold and have had a very weird past few days. less

You might benefit from my system. I too, have to wait longer to receive my products. When I receive them, I use them a few times within a few days and then write the review. I normally get a review up by the time the waiting period hits two weeks on the system, which I believe may be closer to three. less
