It’ll only affect you in the sense of you (hopefully) not getting selected for products that you would dislike
Eg. If someone mentioned they dislike battery powered toys, they would be unlikely to be selected for battery powered toys in the future.
I work behind the scenes to match toys with people I think will love them, but without honest reviews, this can be really hard! So whether the review is positive, negative, or somewhere in the middle - they all help build a picture - which really helps when pairing people with toys
I enjoy every time I see someone brand new to this forum and their first post is along the lines of ‘I want to be a tester / give me free stuff’.
It’s the main reason I follow this post.
A suggestion for secret/toy testers when it’s a potential upcoming product: it would be nice to know its rough price/worth as I believe to me, that can affect how I’d review a toy
say something is performing quite poorly.. but you know it IS going to be a cheap starter toy (for me) it would review better than if I thought it was going to be priced higher
And same for the opposite way, it something is performing ok to well but you’d know it IS going to be expensive it would effect my views on it
I see how this could go both ways as the price could and would effect our reviews but it’s something I often wonder about when reviewing the unknown
It varies, if the post is still live, some items at least, are still available
With the regular tester list you vote on, you obviously can’t tell which items are still available. With the tester lists where you post stating which items you’re interested in and your order of preference, Brenna will often cross off items from the list that are no longer available so you know you can only request the others.
I had an issue twice in a row with reviews not going through so I had to be contacted and do them agaim, twice, in a row! Since then I haven’t been chosen to do a review and I’m starting to get worried I have been black listed. How can I get unblacklisted if I have been? Or even how canI know if I have been?
I’ve had dry patches where it seems I’ve not been chosen as a tester for months and months and then others where it has been back to back. I think there will just be times when products match other people better or the luck of the draw just isn’t on your side.
I don’t think ordering helps, I got selected for a tester almost a year since my last actual order, but then having the tester did prompt me to have a look around and order a few bits afterwards lol
Maybe this has been asked and answered before but how come the UK site has “helpful” feedback buttons but the US site does not? Its always nice to see if your review is helpful.
Apologies if it’s been asked before but whats the difference between voting for the tester category and selecting an item to review, compared to requesting to review an item from the normal list of items listed to test? Thanks.
The vote is the normal tester list. These are products that are already live on site and is generally open to all who have completed the relevant steps. The lists of items are normally secret testers which haven’t been released and are more likely to be sent to people who have previously received testers
After doing a review for tester item I received email to verify my address . The link lovehoney sent didn’t work I’ve contacted customer service heard nothing back still. My review still not been added. Worried lovehoney think I haven’t done my review.
@JoCat is completely correct - we welcome all honest reviews
