So I run a small shop and sell a holiday item that ships in a tube and box so it doesn’t get damaged which means UPS charges around $13 to ship it. I don’t control that. It’s literally the carrier rate. The size, price, and shipping cost are all clearly listed, and buyers have to confirm and type YES they read it before checking out.
Today I get a 2‑star review.
Not because the product was bad.
Not because anything was wrong.
Nope.
The review literally says: “High quality, but the price is high and shipping is crazy.”
Then the buyer messages me to “advise” me to find cheaper shipping (???) and tells me if I only make little profit, I should “look into better ways to make money.” Like… thanks, random stranger, I’ll just go restructure the entire postal system real quick.
And the best part? She insists it’s an “honest review.”
Ma’am, if you think it’s too expensive, you can buy regular wrapping paper somewhere else except you can’t, because nowhere else sells my art elsewhere lol.
Every year there’s always one person who doesn’t read the listing, buys anyway, and then leaves a dumbass review like it’s my fault they didn’t pay attention. I’m one person working multiple jobs trying to make fun holiday stuff, not Amazon with free shipping and magic elves.
I’m burnt out, annoyed, and honestly just needed to scream into the void for a minute.
