how long for amazon rating to post
Amazon ratings/reviews usually show up within a few hours to about 72 hours, though some can take longer. In some cases, people report delays of up to a week or even around 14 days because Amazon screens reviews before posting them.
What affects the timing
- Verified purchases often appear faster than unverified ones.
- Reviews that look borderline, suspicious, or policy-sensitive can take longer to clear moderation.
- Amazon’s seller forum says a review should generally appear within the same day, but not every case updates that quickly.
If it still is not posted
If it has been more than a few days, the most common reasons are moderation delay, policy issues, or the review being filtered out. A simple rating without much text can still be delayed if Amazon is checking it.
Practical rule
A good expectation is:
- A few hours to 3 days for most cases.
- Up to 1 week if moderation is slow.
- Up to 14 days in slower or more closely reviewed cases.
