I have only had one item at 1am, which was a large throw blanket and at 2am I had one of those Book Nooks, but it red errored straight away (which I would have taken had it not errored).
Update at 3am: Magnesium Supplement
Ninja Luxe Cafe Cleaning Kit
None taken.
So I'm really OCD with my reviews and keep a separate spreadsheet (also because I don't trust the dashboard). I decided to go through and check if some reviews had been rated yet as they'd been stuck on pending for a couple of months and found that 12 of my reviews have now been marked as "Not Approved". I know for a fact they'd previously been accepted and also rated as excellent as I'd marked them off on my spreadsheet. I wonder why they've since been changed to not accepted, and whether that reflects in my items reviewed on my dashboard stats. If it does affect viner stats, it seems a little underhanded since my obligation to the programme was fulfilled and accepted on amazon's end, only to be changed later down the line.
Reluctantly vertical at 2:40am and I am not happy about it!
Just two items in my RFY:
Cigar Case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0995M474W Dithering on this one, if it sticks around Ill ask my husband if he wants it when he gets up.
Rug - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GYDCJ79K Pass, too pale plus nowhere really needs a rug.
AI is dripping but nothing taken.
This poorly titled post on the "other" Vine reddit has highlighted something I wasn't aware of, but in hindsight might be true - that we are now each being allotted no more than two RFY items per hour. https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonVine/comments/1umvj6l/fk_garvee/
Now that I look back, whenever I can be arsed staying up late this has a definite ring of truth: that I'll get two new RFY items at 1am, two more at 2am, two more at 3am etc.
Thoughts?
The other point is less evidenced, but I would say that having reviewed a lot of Bosch, Philips, Bluemars and Dong Cheng items in the past I do tend to see more of these than others report in the "What's in your RFY ..." threads.
That does seem kinda counter intuitive as it gives less spread across reviewers for a brand, plus I must admit that I will tend to take a similar item to one I already have because I don't want to be, for example, dropped off the Bosch list.
I had an issue with a Vine order spoke to Vine CS and instead of just getting the usual it will be removed and you will get a credit I got a bit more of an explanation so I am posting it here some may already have seen this but as I say it's the first time I got something like this.
Below any of the problem with VINE order/account if customer face, we simply remove that order form the review list and grant review Credit so it wont impact on your vine account review %.
Problems/ issue likes.
1: Order Show Awaiting review even you submit review.
2: Delivery Not received, or Item show as deliver but customer did not received.
3: Product received damage.
4: System give error same variant/ category/seller/or product type has already reviewed and it wont let you to submit review for next product.
And many more the only resolution we remove the review requirement for that product.
In such cases amazon manually cancel review requirement for that product and grant credit to maintain the overall review % which helps customer to maintain Vine account. Rest assured this wont impact your overall account or review %.
So I got a bit of a win recently with a £169 pair of fake drag boobies. so not your typical female massage equipment, I certainly wouldn't be uploading picures of me using those!
I wanted to do a review of these though because they're excellent quality and I thought it would be really helpful to other buyers to see just how jiggly they are and how well they fit.
it's obviously a product that Amazon sells but the listing has clouds covering the nipples - if I upload an un-censored video of Fake titties bouncing at the camera I don't wan't to risk Vine banning me for some stupid "innapropriate content"
What do you think?
Normally I wake up at some point between 3-5am but tonight I was still up at 1, so when I checked and saw a dish drainer and spare containers for a Ninja Creami, I thought that's my lot and went to sleep.
For whatever reason I woke up again at 2.10, and found a reMarkable tablet! OMG OMG https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GVKLRFQ6?ref\_=ppx\_hzod\_image\_mob\_b\_fed\_asin\_title\_0\_0 I've had these in and out of my amazon basket for years, I get through so many notebooks at work and this will get so much use. Now I just need to persuade the IT people to install the app that goes with it on my work laptop, they told me no when I asked about it a couple of years ago when I was seriously considering buying one.
I know this has been raised before but I'm getting a bit irritated and wondered if others are in the same boat. I have lots of reviews that have been stuck on 'Pending' in the Review Quality Score category for a L-O-N-G time. The oldest goes back to July 2025. (I joined on 12th June 2025). Firstly I'm wondering 'Why?'. Next I'm wondering how it affects my overall score. Considering the amount of my 329 reviews I've had rated excellent (almost all) I'm wondering why my Excellent score in my account has stayed green in only the first quarter of the 4 boxes for about the past 9 months. Surely it should have gone up considering all the well-rated reviews. Does anyone understand how it actually works and how it affects things? Do you think the pending ones will ever get rated or do they just forget them and move on to newer reviews? Would just like to know so I can ignore the old pending ones and not go back to check if anything has happened. TY. Have a great Saturday.
I have had this when there's been a merging of two items I have already reviewed (almost always, the most favourable review is kept!)
It doesn't look like that's happened here: it is a 'two variants' listing when I look now, but I have only had one of them.
It's also not a 'complete change of item' issue: one of the variants is what I had and reviewed.
Any ideas?
I will get CS to remove it from the queue, not least as the system won't let me edit it.
Drops started at 1am again
The other day I saw a construction calculator. The listing at the point I selected it showed a calculator and the case had one of those LCD writing pads and a stylus (which was my main/only reason for picking it).
The calculator arrived yesterday, and it's just a standard construction calculator - no LCD pad on the case, just comes in a woven fabric case.
The listing just shows the item I received (there's no other variations on the page) so when reviewing what I received it matches the listing - but frustrating because it's not the item I wanted.
Looking at that seller's store, there doesn't seem to be a Construction Calculate with an LCD screen - so I think they may have had an incorrect image on their listing, or the listing was just very different before I received it.
I know there's nothing I can do, and just need to review the product I received, but I just wanted to vent.
I did get a nice Bread Bin offered but it disappeared as soon as I clicked on it, and I also got a an expanding Shoe Rack but I passed on that one.
Update 2am: 2 different Respiratory Masks Not Taken
Have a great Thursday everyone!
A £240 salt and pepper grinder. Yes, you read the right. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DND6GWMV
Checking the price history, it has been inflated, but it seems to flip between £198 and £240.
Taken, I need to see what a £240 salt and pepper mill does that a £5 set doesn't.

Edit: Solved! Thanks guys!
So I got invited to Vine this morning. Had a quick trawl through on my phone and found something to order, discount applied and ordered as expected... but now I have 0 trace of vine at all in the app. The only login I can seem to find if for the US so doesn't seem to associate my account with vine and I haven't recieved and email or anything either.
Has anyone else experienced this?
One thousand sheets of colourful, portable, disposable... paper soaps?? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H1VXLVL1
A case for the iPad Air I don't have.
Not waiting for anything else, so bedtime...
So I've had a few items that I ordered on Vine that never turned up. A bit frustrating, especially if it's an expensive item (£500 vacuum never showed up).
But now I got an item delivered twice. I ordered a watch strap for my Huawei GT5 watch on Tuesday, and set it for my normal Amazon delivery day of Saturday, and it duly turned up on Saturday. Nothing odd. But then today (Sunday) I had another one turn up! Looking at the orders page it's showing as delivered on Sunday.
Pity it was only a £14 watch strap.
Anyone else have this happen to them? Anyone get lucky and get a double delivery for something expensive?
