Transparency in Every Review
Negative, positive, or neutral – we publish every review. First, we check if it meets our guidelines and is genuine. We also verify whether it was written by someone who purchased the product via zondox.com. If not, or if it came from an external website, we mention it. Most checks are automated, though manual reviews are sometimes done. We do not pay for reviews.
