@beach-mom - Unfortunately, some people who have purchased the item leave a One-Star review that has nothing to do with the item, but about poor packaging, poor delivery, even stating that they ordered the wrong shade. What does any of that have to do with product?
Not only does the Review need to be from a "purchaser," but guidelines about reviewing the actual product. It seems like common sense, but some people can't figure it out.

I also think it would be very helpful if Reviewers would state that the size for clothing/shoes was ordered in their regular size, or if they needed to size up/down. So many just say, 'beautiful', fits great, nice color. You can't always go by what size the manufacturer says in the description, e.g., "True to size". I went by that once (shoes) and it was Not 'true to size'.

@Mimi 1883 - Yes! All of this is important. I hope someone who can make a difference reads these posts!

I agree with your first point completely. It's hard enough to trust reviews without wondering if the person actually has the item. Would you allow reviews by those who receive something as a gift? That's a bit sticky.

Your second point is more difficult. It's a good suggestion for reviewers, but I personally would not post a review that required me to give out that kind of information. I know we use screen names here, but the information is still associated with our account and our IP, and is no doubt harvested by others.

@KaySD - I was merely agreeing with another poster that, yes, she was right that no one (shopper) knows who the reviewer is. If the other poster likes to give that type of information in her Reviews about her height/weight, that's her prerogative.

I, personally, do not give out my height/weight when reviewing clothing items, nor did I mention those height/weight requirements when others post a Review. I do mention in my own reviews if the item is 'true to size' or if it runs smaller/larger.
