Why is Amazon permitting the the folks from iFinity to leave such an obvious trail of negative recent reviews for this product?

The only reviews I pay attention to are 1) Verified buyers or 2) Those who very obviously have bought the product and are reviewing it here for benefit of other users. If there is a questionable review, just check the "reviewer ranking" to see how often they review on Amazon. I usually tend to pay more attention to the top 10k reviewers (if someone is in the 15 million area and their review fishy... you can probably ignore them for the time being.) ; )

Are you saying that these recent negative reviews are false? I was beginning to get nervous; my amp is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.Btw, I just discovered that many of the negative review comes from those who have not been verified as owners. Those who are verified by Amazon as actual buyers seem to give good reviews.

Negative as well as positive SHILL REVIEWS are a persistent and widespread problem on Amazon...in fact, it's an entire industry (google "reputation management")...many of the biggest corporations (e.g. Bose) use them!

I bought my original 2020 model elsewhere but let me add that my experience has been excellent. It is a great little amp and I use it to drive the main speakers for my home theatre. I am a genuine reviewer.

Because they have better things to do than investigate suspicious reviews for a $20 amplifier? Surely the precedence from erasing suspicious, but not provable, negative reviews has much greater negative implications than positive.

Some of the reviews are posted by larger customers and they haven't reported any difficulties. Good luck with it!

Uh, because there is no reason to ban them from Amazon sales. Why would you wish to ban someone who has done nothing wrong?

I must confess it is a bit disturbing to have the company president tracking down bad reviewers in the company database! Rather chilling and kind of Orwellian, don't you think? Also, your statement that OMyGarden has a near perfect record of customer satisfaction is wildly incorrect - on eBay, you have only a 97.2% rating (even mine is 99.2) and on Amazon a whopping 11% left negative feedback, with another 6% leaving only neutral feedback. This does not reflect an acceptable level of customer satisfaction. Perhaps ypur time would be better specnt improving your product and shaping up your customer service department than trolling the web looking for bad reviews and seeking out the reviewers.

I thought the exact same thing - such reviews are a destroyer of the forum's credibility. Send me one and I'll give an honest review - oh, except I don't have to pay $80. Well THAT is the part that makes me honest!

I just assumed it was because the re-sellers are trying to promote the "perfect five star reviews" over other reviews to help boost their sales. Don't worry about the helpful/not helpful thing, you won't please everyone. I figure some people are looking at my reviews from a parent's perspective, some are looking at it from a kid or fanboy perspective and some are just re-sellers trying to move their (overpriced) products. If it helps any, I thought your review was spot on and just marked your review as helpful.

I bought it too but didn't open it yet, looking for non bogus reviews...if these reviews are bogus i'd like to know what the quams are with this product (2030).

Good question - I tried to write an even stronger review warning against this vendor, but the that kind of content is apparently inappropriate for a review - I'm supposed to leave that kind of feedback in another place (one that I haven't yet found). All I could do is review the product, so that's what I did.

Sam from Discount Jungle called me today. He wanted me to sign into my Amazon account but he wouldn't tell me why. Thanks to all the negative reviews I've read I figured it out myself that he was trying to get me to remove the negative feedback I left for discount jungle. I told him that it's not going to happen and I will leave negative reviews elsewhere unless he refunds 100% of my money and he hung up on me.

They're even jumping on other products and trying to hijack the review section. They've tried to take over the top spot on P90X3 twice (unsuccessfully so far, but they've certainly got us dug in tight over there). They managed to displace the top review that had held its ground on a fitness app for almost 3 years. And right around 150 is the magic number they seem to be able to pull. Amazon has been made aware of this and are looking into it. After their second attack on P90X3 Amazon has been corresponding with us more and are taking the more seriously than other complaints I've had with campaign voting. While I can't say for sure, hopefully there are some conclusions to be drawn here.

Mr. Keh, it shows extraordinarily poor business sense to blame your customers for the poor systemic performance of your product. I cannot imagine how poorly designed your hardware and software must be in order to cause such a catastrophic problem so easily, and I cannot imagine the hubris of telling someone that they must reformat their computer hard drive to recover their GPS and calling this "good news." I have determined now that I want no part of a product that blames it's users first for what is so obviously a systemic weakness of design.

I'm not pissed. I'm sure it was an automatic thing. Probably after 30 days, they assume its a failed backorder, and cancel our orders assuming the manufacturer isn't delivering. Its still pretty stupid and lazy on the part of Amazon to cancel all our orders on a product thats just late. Putting us all at the back of the line, and even worse, not accepting more pre-orders.But, I'm telling you, go to Bing. Do a search on Adorama Lowpro. Then select the cash back link next to Adorama, for 11%. Then shop, and buy the S10 (on pre-order for $429). You may need to(as I did) create a .live account. I'm getting back $45. Bye Amazon. Thanks for canceling my order. :) I'm not pissed. I'm sure it was an automatic thing.

Possibly the manufacturer was pumping it with fake reviews, and Amazon found they were all from the same IP address?Just a guess.

At this point nothing suggests anyone from Amazon is taking action on any of my posts. The removal appears to be automated after someone complains.

I find this entire conversation to be incredibly sad because NEVER has amazon reacted to any of the reviews I've reported for being actual garbage. Yet they find the time to repeatedly remove your review. Obviously, the customer isn't as important to amazon as the reseller.

Unfortunately we can not stop the over aggressive nature of some of the affiliates that promote Amazon products. We do not condone it, nor have we done it. You should have contacted Amazon as this question is not relevant to the product or us.
