Source review format.

While I appreciate very much the algorithm eroids has used to rate sources and gear and eventually labs; I think there could be one more variable accounted for when rating a source. Receiving a package in seven days is great but this is an international market with international sources. While it is possible at times to judge the location of the recipient do the rating it is not exact. When looking different sources one of the first things I read is the review and the time it takes for delivery. 3 and 4 days delivery is great if your in the UK receiving a package from the UK but it means nothing coming to the USA from UK. If in the rating format there was a section requiring a region of the world to go with the delivery time frame then rating numbers would be more accurate and buyers would have a better chance of choosing a reliable source and the rating numbers would be more reflective of the international market we are all in.

P.S. before anyone questions why I have not rated any sources its because I have ordered from two different sources and one highly rated source has fallen through and I have chosen to wait and give them the chance to correct the issue so I can give a fair and honest rating. The second source I am on my second order and wish to complete all transactions before rendering a full rating on them. Both sources are on opposite sides of the planet.

That's what I mean as far as consumer writing a review of the source. There are very specific requirements in order for a review to qualify as a good one. I think it should be relevant to the delivery time aspect of the review. If I say I got my package in 10 days in my review but do not say where it was shipped too; what good is that?

Your idea is cool with the exception of user responsibility. If you're viewing a UK vender its up to the reader to scroll reviews to see who shipped where. It the best if the person writing the review to add in a simple days to general area. It's impossible to accurately say UK to west coast 7-10 days for example. Shipping...shippers...customs etc. Also, its forgotten tha just because it's a UK source....they too use other countries/retailers to ship. Too many variables. So basically it's the BUYERS responsibility to pm the retailer. Its the respinsibility of the BUYER to purchase at least two cycles in advance. And have all the pins...ai and pct far in advance before trying anything.
