lindsaycb Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Has anyone ever rec'd an email from this woman? I receive this email and the subject says Get Back ASAP now.... And my email address wasn't in the To: header. So I'm assuming it was sent to a group of people & we were all blind copied...Her email message is short & demanding on receiving my wholesale info. Her short & brief emails ends with awaiting your immediate response now.....This really rubs me the wrong way. I don't have a website for her to find me at, she doesn't have a retail store front, or a resale id. I basically would love to tell her to bug off.

geekrunner Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I seem to remember something like this happening to other CTers, and it is a real person doing it. Probably best to just delete the message and go on.geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celicagtca Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Tell Bunny to give you her business license #, business name and address, website, how long she has been doing business and what type of product she's presently carriying her store. Sounds like another chandler trying to get your wholesale pricing so she/he can undercut you. Don't send samples like I did because you'll be kicking yourself in the butt. Tell her you have a minimum order requirement for wholesale and you'd be more than happy to send her (1) product at retail and she pays the shipping costs. If she is really interested in your products, she's not going to bitch about it. Get her visa/mc or paypal before shipping also. I should call my new name "once burned...twice shy"!

sockmonkey Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Maybe you can write back to her informing her, "There are no wholesale opportunities at this time. Thank you for your interest."Then you can mess with her and ask her to complete an application, which you "will keep on file."Ask for all of the usual business info that was mentioned previously, but also ask what her yearly sales are, list three credit references, what her top 5 lines are, and require that she mail a copy of her retail license to you as well.I bet you won't hear from her again.

sudsnwicks Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 The name does not ring a bell but I receive a fair number of wholesale "requests" that sound just like that. If it sounds bogus it probably is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Never heard of her, but I just wanted to say that it's a good idea to ask for her resale # and tell her you have a min. opening order of $10,000 . Kidding on the $$, but I usually name a high, but reasonable number that a reputable person wouldn't blink at, or would come back with, "What about $5,000 for an opening order?"You're smart to be wary.

Bunny Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Tell Bunny to give you her business license #, business name and address, website... Hey now.. The ladies name was Bonny.. You freaked me out for a second there! I've been reading and re-reading for 5 minutes now! lolI'd politely tell her to get stuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 or ignore her. even if that is a legitimate email, would you want to get into a business relationship with someone like that? i'm guessing they'd do their best to make you regret it. remember that you can choose who you do business with.haha, of course on certain days, i'm sure i'd be sending off some sort of reply to her like others have already mentioned.

foxhill Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 The wording sounds a lot like wholesale requests I have gotten from China and other countries including Nigeria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 The wording sounds a lot like wholesale requests I have gotten from China and other countries including Nigeria.Could be. A red flag always goes up when my email isn't even in the "to" field. If you want to do business with someone at least have the courtesy to address them properly.

sockmonkey Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 The lingo she uses in her reply makes her sound like a foreigner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
