A quick notice, the review spoken about in this conversation is NOT and will not be taken down. The EF website messed something up. It will be posted as soon as it's re-approved.
Before you even start reading this blog post, please remember that I am not here to bash, bitch, complain, etc. I was never in the "reviewing business" for that reason. I'm am here, as a reviewer, to HELP companies get their products out there. To HELP people who may like a product see if it suits them. I just.. I'm speechless. Please read these emails, please be aware that I DID support this company, but will no longer support this company. I will finish the reviews that I was sent TO REVIEW as I mentioned when I contacted them. Then I'll work with them, no longer.
I spoke with an advanced reviewer to see if what I thought was right, was right. To make sure I wasn't bullshitting myself. So, here's this blog..
This is long, but PLEASE read and pass this on.
I don't have the beginning emails, but this came about when I came across
Pipedream on Twitter. I simply asked if they needed reviewers and they send to shoot them an email.

He then asked me if I could send the item numbers so it would be easier for him to find the products, I did - no problem. He said thank you and I'll send you the tracking number as soon as I get it. Very courteous. No problem at all.

I sent a quick email:
"
Hello!
I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I am working on my reviews. I'm currently in a Mentor/Student process on Eden Fantasys, so all of my reviews are submitted to an advanced reviewer to make sure I'm writing quality reviews! I have two done so far and will let you know as soon as she publishes them, and more!"
He then asked me "Wait, you're publishing the reviews to Eden?" I said yes, provided him with the link and told him that his company name is what the product review and ask if it was okay.
A friend of mine, after I REFERRED HER to Pipedream for their awesome customer service, told me that they replied and told her because she had posted a negative review on someone else's product, they wouldn't want to send her items for that reason. So I knew when I received a reply, something big was going to happen.
Now:

Notice this next post, I quoted his hundred of dollars mention.

And here's the point where I simply stopped emailing with him. I was utterly and completely at a loss for any words, whatsoever. I, as a reviewer, am not going to NOT post a review with the good and the bad so that someone else can WASTE their money (notice he wasn't upset about that) on products that won't work for them.
I'm... speechless.
