Amazon delays

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Amazon delays

Post by Jane Ogwang »

Amazon sometimes queues reviews and delays their approvals up to even over two weeks. We're not supposed to write reviews before they are published here, and once you publish them, you want them immediately. Could the time frame for the Amazon reviews be increased to three days after publishing so we do not have to update preferences every time?

Hi there,

And thank you for reaching out. I am sorry, but I am not sure I understand your message. Why would you have to update your preferences?

We have previously suggested to the management that unconfirmed Amazon reviews should not block the reviewer's history page. I'll let you know once this suggestion receives feedback.

Thank you, and have a good day,
Kirsi

Hello Kristi, I always have to adjust my preferences because I otherwise cannot access books or my history tab. So I'm forced to adjust my preferences to 'unable to post Amazon reviews' till the review is published by Amazon. I think the added suggestion would be good. Restriction of the select tab should also come after two days.

Hi there,

And thank you for your answer. I see. I think constantly adjusting your preferences because of this might not be such a good idea; are you aware that because it counts as a status update, it might delay your payments? I hope we get a different solution to this soon.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Thank you, and have a good day,
