This may sound like an odd question, but if I (or anyone) gives something we have been sent to review, a bad review, does that ruin our chances of getting sent something again, or even something from the same company? Just wondering.

I would hope not because that's the whole point of the reviews to get real opinions. I think as long as you can explain why you didn't like the product there shouldn't be any reason not to get chosen again.

It makes no difference whatsoever. Companies know that they are going to get good and bad reviews and they know people want to read real, honest opinions. The important thing is that you are honest and thorough.

It has been known a few times recently though that someone has had a product close to £200 and only bothers to write a few lines. We think that if someone has a high value product then they need to take a bit of time writing a useful and constructive review not just a couple of lines saying 'I like this blahdeblahdeblah. It is good/not good'. Companies sending out a Travel System or Cot or holiday or whatever deserve a little more care and attention. Am sure you all agree. :)

I hope not as we need the rewiews to be as honest as possible as very important when looking into buying a product!

we reviewed a toy and i gave it a good review but it did have a downside which i wrote, the company emailed me asking if the product was faulty or if it was just something that i thought needed improving. they were really nice and shows that companys would like truthful opinions
