Online shopping is one of the most convenient inventions of the past decades. What can be better than buying something you need from the comfort of your sofa without having to put on your pants, leave the house, and go to some crowded place? 

However, there’s one downside to online shopping, and that’s the fact that we can’t test the quality of the things we buy beforehand. This is where product reviews have become very useful. Amazon, as one of the biggest retail sellers in the world, has also been using this practice for a long time, and for many customers, Amazon product reviews have become a valid evaluation tool for purchase. 

Who Writes Reviews on Amazon?

  • Regular customers have been very helpful in sharing their experiences with others. Everyone who buys a certain product from Amazon can leave a review assessing the product.
  • Paid reviewers, also called product testers, write their assessments as tasked by Amazon or the product seller. They get the product and instructions on what features they’re supposed to test, then are required to give their honest opinion.

    How to Become an Amazon Paid Product Tester?

    There are several ways of becoming a product tester and getting rewarded for Amazon product reviews. Amazon Vine, for example, is directly managed by the company. If you have a history of writing useful and well-worded reviews, you have a chance to be invited to participate in it as a product tester in exchange for free products, discounts, and other perks.

    Another method is through numerous product review sites. These are more accessible both for sellers and potential product testers because you don’t need to wait for an invitation to join. However, make sure to do the research because some of the sites are fake.

    And probably the most popular one is becoming an influencer. You can do Amazon product reviews on your own content platform or sign up for the Amazon influencer program for a wider variety of marketing tools. In both cases, you can be approached by sellers to test and review their products.

    Funny Amazon Reviews

    But we wouldn’t be who we are as a species if we didn’t find a way to work humor into product reviews. And honestly, some products are just asking for funny reviews because there’s no way you could take them seriously.  

    Funny product reviews might not be exactly helpful if you’re trying to decide on your next purchase, but they’re sure to put a smile on your face or even send you into a fit of laughter. Which, let’s admit it, is still a win.  

    If you like the collection of Amazon funny reviews we curated for you, share them with your shopaholic friends and let us know in the comments if you end up buying any of these products.

    Having just tried to unsuccessfully liberate 2 ice cubes from non-Rubbermaid ice cube tray to put into the bottom of my glass of wine I feel this is the product for me. We currently have 3 plastic trays, all of which are full of cracked, broken, sad little cubes. We fill them gently with tap water after lovingly dousing them in a lukewarm bath to make sure all shattered remains have been washed away. We keep them as flat and stable as possible in the freezer. We treat them kindly. Yet every time I want a chilled glass of wine they revolt! Shall purchase immediately!

    More Facts About Amazon Product Reviews (FAQ)

    How Long Do Amazon Product Reviews Take?

    As mentioned by Amazon staff on their official forum, it usually takes around 72 hours after submission for the review to get posted. In some instances, it might take longer, but you can always contact the support service.

    Why Won’t Amazon Let Me Review Products?

    Most probably, there’s something wrong with your account. You either don’t meet the quota (you need to have spent at least $50 in Amazon purchases in the past year), or Amazon has found your reviews unhelpful or otherwise violating the rules. You can check their Community Guidelines for a complete list of rules.

    Are Amazon Funny Reviews Banned?

    While it seems like Amazon doesn’t care about funny reviews, there are still many things that can get you banned from writing customer reviews. So before posting your funny bad reviews, make sure they don’t violate any community guidelines.
