Online store reviews

[Friday]

I'm just suggesting that it would be cool if people can review stores along with all the other paintball products. I've been seeing people having threads asking if a certain store is good. I'd like to know what other people think myself, otherwise I might have to start 20 threads asking how good some stores are. Don't worry, I won't do it :D

Great website btw. :)

I agree, and so do many people, but Andrew must not like the idea or something, because it has been suggested many times, and never went through.

I geuss I can see where it would be a bad idea.

If people said Extreme paintball was a piece of ish store left and right, and that was put up somewhere for everyone to see, I don't think Extreme Paintball would like it much.

Also since people live different distance away from stores, the shiping might not be as good for some people as others.

But overall it might be more good than bad, as long as people justified there anwsers so instead of store seing we hate them they see what we think they should do to do better.

Its not that we're not going to impliment it, its just that we have a lot more to do before we can even touch on that. That's all. We're really busy!

Oh, I didn't mean to suggest something that was suggested so many times. But I see your point. It would be hard to build up a decent reputation if a bunch of people gave bad reviews for one store even for one mistake. Some people might even post reviews and they might have never shopped there. I suppose some day it'll happen.

Wow, we posted at the exact same time. :eek:

If you read enough reviews here, you'll start to see a large amount of crap reviews. I wouldn't trust many reviews of stores, online or otherwise.

i think the store reviews are are good idea,yea most reviews on
here are crap and if the idiots can be weeded out,it would be a very positive important resource for our comunity

stores who give bad service,make false claims and such should be held accountable and suffer with a lack of buisness

but the reviews would have to have more validity than
"doo0000d it took 4 days instead of 3 to get my spyder that i got free shipping on and the autococker bolt wont work on it,
this store sucks!!"

On the other hand, EVERY store is going to slip up every once in a while and it's usually the customer's fault for ordering the wrong part, not being specific, etc. That and any store that gets negative reviews (and they ALL will at some point) is not going to want to advertise on the site.
Just my thoughts....

comes down to the allmighty $$$ eh...lets not piss anyone off
jeesh..look what happend to APG ive got em goin back to 88 and watching it turn into a advertiser friendly no-impact giant propaganda machine,affriad to give bad reviews or print articles that actually mean somthing turns my stomach

And as mailorder buisness owner i know how frustrating customers can be ,but weve got some companies out there
that are ripping off players,i after years of mailordering got totally screwed.

theres a need for a review section
