I have gotten 2 bags of dog food delivered in shreds, leaking everywhere in the past 2 months. Are FedEx just blenderizing packages and then yeeting them randomly onto porches?

Not super unhappy about how the company handles claims, though...
FedEx is shit. That's who delivered my koolatron last night. I was shocked to see him carry it up and set it down on the porch nice and respectable like. 2 times we have ordered from chewy and I swear they backed in, opened their door, kicked the bag of dog food into the driveway, and pulled out of there. Not to mention, their tracking is almost never accurate. I despise them.

It's the Vine program. Basically it is free stuff in exchange of reviews. But it's done in a way to encourage honest reviews, not like the stuff where you buy stuff, give a good review, get a refund. Companies allocate so many items for review, normally new on amazon products that have little to no reviews. They then send them into Amazon and Amazon will send them to people in the Vine program free of charge. After receiving and using, you write a review. It all counts as income, so I will pay income tax on the items come tax time, so it's more like 75-80% off instead of actually free.
Isn't it great getting "free" stuff??! I'm a WalMart Spark member, but I don't get anything good any more. Use too, for sure!. I'd love to get into Vine, but I know they have to pick you, and I doubt they ever will...I'm not really an Amazon fan, and I'm sure they know it.

It is great, but I went pretty crazy early on and got tons of shit I definitely didn't need and a lot that I didn't even have a use for. It just looked fun or cool. Lol. That's why I'm nearing $6000 worth of free shit this year. Hahaha.

Gifts....Let me know if you need me address :lol:

It's funny with the WalMart program. They will give out any item, and you go on eBay and you see a hundred of them being sold by individuals and you know where they came from.

Probably the best I did from them was 2k worth of stuff in a year, which is nice for free. Now I only get small offers that are usually long gone before I can even get logged in. They have ruined the program.

Personally, whenever I see those reviews, I ignore them, because many people do give great bogus reviews on everything hoping for more stuff. I was usually brutally honest, which I don't think WalMart wanted.

I usually do reviews if an item is really good, or really bad. Amazon gets a lot of really bad ones from me.

That is what's nice about this program. The retailers send their stuff to Amazon and then Amazon sends it out. Amazon does not have a dog in the fight as far as the reviews are concerned. And there's no feeling like you owe them a good review because the company gave you a product for free.

That has made me shy about accepting a light from sponsors here.
I was contacted by one company here and I was flattered by the offer but ultimately turned it down due to the contract they were looking for me to fulfill. I had just won stuff and lights from 3 different companies on here and wanted to do journals for them and the other company wanted me to grow for them exclusively and not mention any other companies and have an ig and or fb presence. Sorry guys, no can do.

Man, I am l Iiking what I am seeing with those wine fridges. I think i will more than likely have to go that route someday. It's funny, seems like less than a year ago a member( blue brother maybe) was getting mad shit from the members in the grow section for an idea like this cooler/fridge tech. Any idea how many amps that draws at start up?
