Many companies offer bloggers the chance to review their product because they think a particular item is outstanding and they want bloggers to promote it. The Federal Trade Commission mandates that individuals disclose if they receive an item in exchange for a review, regardless of the platform. Reviewers should follow the ethical standard of being honest about the products received and their opinions.
Not all of the products that I receive are that great...or even good. Once in a while, I receive a major fail. Francois et Mimi sent me their porcelain espresso set to review. This is exactly how it looked when I opened the box:

| Packaging fail |
The smaller box that the espresso set came in was torn and falling apart. To secure the set, the packaging included two pillow packs. I was so surprised by the poor packaging that I had to take a picture.
Because of the packaging fail, parts of the espresso set chipped.

| Who wants to drink out of this? |
I contacted the company about the packaging problem a few weeks ago. I have yet to hear from them. So much for customer service. This espresso set is available through Amazon, but I don't recommend that you purchase it.
I received the products mentioned in exchange for an unbiased review on my blog.
