one star because I wanted to place a review and could not find anywhere to sign up. So......where are they getting their reviews.

Ordered ink for Epson printer. Cartridges varied from empty, to unable to be recognized to working for 1 or 2 days. Very poor quality. Purchased epson ink online and everything was good again. They responded to my initial review and email on Oct 19th and promised a full refund. 4 sets of cartridges = 16 cartridges. Refund processed was for 1/4 what I paid. I again contacted them and they refused to respond.

Dear Barb, Thank you for the review, but unfortunately, we do not sell printer supplies. It looks like you left your review with the wrong company. Unfortunately, this happens a lot with Trustpilot, because they allow people to leave reviews about different companies without proof of purchase. Please feel free to email [email protected] and we will see if there's anything we can do to help you. Thanks so much, Shopper Approved Support

Unreliable ratings. This is a marketing service for merchants, not a customer-generated review site. Customers are not able to post reviews. Only the company can publish reviews, and while they collect reviews from customers, they pick and choose which to post, resulting in the highest ratings on their site for merchants who have the lowest ratings everywhere else (e.g., Yelp and similar sites). I made a purchase from an online retailer based on the positive ratings on Shopper Approved, and had one of the worst customer service experiences from an online retailer I've ever had. When I went back to Shopper Approved to leave my rating/feedback for that online retailer, I found that customers are not able to post reviews directly. The site may contain filtered customer reviews, but not direct customer reviews.

Hi EH, Thank you for your review and your feedback. At Shopper Approved, we collect only verified customer-generated reviews, on behalf of our online merchants. The reason why you're seeing so many positive reviews for sites that are using Shopper Approved is that we actively request reviews from 100% of customers. Our average review request conversion rate of 30% gives our merchants more reviews from their customers than any other review request tool, often 8x more. These higher numbers of reviews result in better overall review scores or ratings because statistically, most customers are happy. In addition to this, the negative reviews you generally see on other review sites are due to their open-source, or "passive," way of collecting reviews. On these other review sites, anyone who is upset--verified customer or not--can leave a review about a company on these sites. And typically when a consumer is upset, they will leave negative reviews on several open review platforms, driving up the percentage of negative reviews on these sites. This leads to fewer reviews collected on these platforms, a higher percentage of negative reviews, and the potential for anyone to post content there--including a company's competitor. So generally, these types of sites do not provide an accurate reflection of the company. Also, our platform does not allow for manipulation of reviews by the companies that collect them. For these three reasons (only verified customer reviews are collected, reviews are collected from every customer, not just the happy or just the unhappy, and reviews cannot be manipulated) we are the most trusted review collection service offered today. And for these reasons, we believe that our platform allows for the most balanced and accurate view of a company or product. And this makes sense, because if a company really did perform as poorly as you would think based on the reviews collected on those open-source platforms, how in the world could they stay in business? If you have any questions or would like to get more insight, please feel free to contact us at [email protected], and we'd be happy to speak with you! Best, Shopper Approved Support

I had a bad experience with cardboard cutout standee.com. However, ShopperApproved seems to be blocking me from submitting it. Maybe that’s why almost 40% of THESE reviews are on the negative side.

Hi Kirk, We're sorry to hear you had a bad experience. We checked our records, and standee.com is not a client of ours. If you have purchased from another site that you believe is associated with Shopper Approved, please let us know, and we'd be happy to send you a review. Best Regards, Shopper Approved Support [email protected] 888-951-7467

This site "Finds" reviews for companies and I was scammed by one they recommended. So I went to their site to leave a bad review for this company, but could not. What review company doesn't accept reviews?

Can't even leave a negative experience that I had with a business the uses shopper approved

Hi Josh, You'll probably get a full survey via email if you've already received your product. If you don't get one for some reason, please reach out to us and we can make sure you get one. Best Regards, Shopper Approved Support

When I had issue with an order from a company that has 5 starts in ShopperApproved. The only way to write review about company is when I received the order. I am trying to review the company and their customer care and not about the product. There is no way you can write review without having positive experience. That is the reason there are none or very few negative reviews. Never trust Shopper Approved reviews. You will see only positive reviews and 5 starts there. As the company pays ShopperApproved to collect the reviews, they try to get only positive reviews.
Response from Shopper ApprovedJul 2, 2019
Hi Manikandan, Thank you for reaching out. In the full survey that you receive via email after you receive your order, there are questions specifically about your customer experience, and you can rate anywhere from 1-5 stars. All of our surveys are based on a 1-5 star scale, so whatever our clients customers select is what is saved and displayed. We are very transparent about reviews, and we never incentivize or artificially inflate reviews. What you see is what actual customers have rated - the actual company has nothing to do with the customers feedback. Best Regards, Shopper Approved Support

I bought a product at Rhinocamera.pt and never received from Shopper Approved an email to leave my review and rate the company after ordering and receiving the item. My order 767170 was made in 05-04-2019. This is very bad. I have documentation proving this. All i want it's to make my review about this company.
Response from Shopper ApprovedJul 2, 2019
Hi GuimaraesR, That's very unfortunate to hear about your experience. You should have received a full survey email from us, but if you didn't receive one, please send our friendly support team a message at [email protected] and we will be happy to send you another one. :-) Best Regards, Shopper Approved Support
