So, the situation is this: I ordered some NBome tabs about two months ago and it never arrived, so I sent a message to the vendor asking what could we do to sort this out. He responded with a very professional message saying that, for him to send a reship I would have to leave a 5 star rating. He says he uses this policy since SR1 to counter "review scams". But, to leave a 5 star rating, wouldn't I have to finalize the order? I mean, I trust him and all but I can't make sure he's actually sending the tabs. What should I do?
Wait, so he won't ship until you've left 5 stars? If feedback is editable after the fact, I'd say no problem. If it's not editable than that's bullshit because he could be fishing for a 5-star and not even send out a re-ship. He could easily claim that it was shipped/intercepted/you're lying about not getting it, etc.
I appreciate vendors who will do what it takes to make the customer happy, but this doesn't seem like one of those times.
