Overview


Q: What's the purpose of the Product reviews?

A: The product review area is designed for members to share their experiences with various automotive related parts & items. A way to give a thumbs up for something you like or to warn others of products you've found inferior. Once an item is submitted, anyone else may also rate it and offer their experiences with it.


Q: Who can post a review?

A: Any registered member of our forum. And best of all, those that are registered on our forum are already registered here! This section runs the same as our Photo Albums in that both run off the same database of users that our forum does so if your not showing as logged in already, simply enter your forum username and password. Not a registered member yet? No problem, simply click the "register" link near the top right of the page to sign up and start enjoying all that 348-409.com has to offer, it's FREE.


Q: How do I post a review?

A:
Step 1: Log in, then click the "upload products" link near the top right of the page.
Step 2: select the best category for your product and click the submit button.
Step 3: is where you fill in the information about the product and upload photos. Enter the product name, model number, upload up to 5 photos, enter a few key words and the basic description of the product. (this description is what you might have seen when you purchased it, not your review of the product, that comes later) Click the submit button. The product is now listed.
Step 4: Now it's time to offer your review and rate the product. Click the "post a review" link.
Step 5: Enter information into the boxes. Your personal review goes in the box at the bottom. Be sure to give an honest and detailed explaination of what you think of the item.



Q: What kind of products are allowed?

A: Generally, anything automotive related and/or used on classic/antique GM cars. This can be various reproduction, replacement or custom parts, tools or literature.





Photo's


Q: Are photo's required?

A: They are not required but are highly recommended. A photo adds more interest to the review. This can either be a photo you've taken yourself or something found on a website, in a vendor catalog, store circular, etc. If you do not have a photo, a quick search on the net can usually turn one up. If you find one on the net, just right click on the photo and save it to your computer. (I like to put these on my desktop to make it easy to find for the next step) Once you have a copy saved to your computer, simply click the "browse" button when you submit a product and select desktop from the window and then the file of the photo. You may submit up to 5 photo's.








Product Review Rules


Q: What rules apply here?

A: Basically, common sense rules apply here just like anywhere else on this site. Here's a list of Do's and Dont's:

Do's
  • Do take the time to honestly and accurately describe the product in a professional manner.
  • Do provide a clear photo of the item when possible.
  • Do select the best category to post your product. (products that are posted in a wrong catagory may end up being moved by the administrator)

    Dont's
  • Do not post offensive pictures. This site is G rated, please respect that when posting photo's.
  • Do not post vulgar or offensive reviews.
  • Do not submit a product with only limited/vague information. This doesn't help the cause much and it may end up being deleted.
