Question

How long after receiving your purchase should you leave a customer review?

Community Answer

As long as it takes for you to become familiar with the product. For example, with a book, you may want to wait until you have read it all. This may take a few weeks but it is important that you are familiar with the product, otherwise your views may be biased.

Question

Can I review a product if I have not purchased it on Amazon?

Community Answer

Yes, but you won't get the verified purchase banner on it, so people may pay less attention to it; it also may be filtered out.

Question

Will my name show up on an Amazon review?

Md. Alamgir Hossain

Community Answer

Yes, your name would be showing on Amazon reviews. This happens because when you open an account on Amazon, yo need to provide name verification, and that's why when you post a review, Amazon shows your verified purchase account name.

Question

How long does it take a book review to show up once I have made one on Amazon?

Md. Alamgir Hossain

Community Answer

Reviews will generally show up within 72 hours of posting. Some reviews take a little longer to be posted, sometimes up to 4 or 5 days. It's completely up to Amazon on how long (or even if) a review will be posted, so if you're having difficulty seeing reviews, reach out to Amazon directly.
