Shipping is part of the purchase process.

If the product is good, but the shipping is not, buyers deserve to be informed.

If there are separate reviews for the product and the shipping of a product (still tied to that product, but also the shipping carrier that was used for that order) then a split review (one for each) is legitimate. Otherwise if there's only one review spot, EVERYTHING is on the table.

And in shipping we could distinguish packaging and transport. I would like to rate both.

One of the problems here is when Amazon has one shared item listing for multiple sellers.

A bad review for the product due to one seller's shipping hurts all the other sellers too.
