Warning about purchasing products from fashion designer Decapolis Clothing. Here is an email thread:
Me: Im starting up a clothing store and found you on Moeim fashion I was wondering if you did any sample orders I was also wondering about your pricing and price breaks on orders over a certain amount
Decapolis: We don't send or sell samples. Discounts are given on orders $1,000 and above.
Me: I think my wife is asking if we can place a smaller order of 1 item per instead of your lot quantities. We would hate to spend $1000 on clothing that is poor quality. We are not new to retail, and given that I cannot find any information online about your products (aside from your website) - we do not feel comfortable placing such a large order with first examining the merchandise. As my wife said, we are a start-up clothing store and new to this particular industry — and we are looking for quality manufacturers for our initial stock purchase — if you are interested in doing business with us please put together a sample order, send me the invoice, and we will promptly pay.
Decapolis: We don't sell single units. We stand behind our product. We wouldn't be in business if our merchandise was poor in quality. You don't need to buy $1,000 to try a company out. You can buy a pack or two intially, see if you like it, and then order more if you wish.
Me: Given that I can find absolutely ZERO reference to your brand or company name anywhere on the internet... I would say that it is a gamble - a gamble we are not willing to take. Good luck with your business — we will carry one of the other thousands of product lines available.
Decapolis: Take a gamble, don't take a gamble, buy, don't buy, we really could care less. We don't understand your need to give us the details of your personal life and decisions. This is akin to an infant throwing a fit because s/he didn't get (discounts, samples, and whatever else you were pushing) what s/he wanted from us. If you don't want to purchase from us, don't. The reasons why you choose not to simply don't interest us. Your need to tell us is unprofessional and, quite honestly, childish. Good luck with yours as you buy from those thousands of product lines available.in the meantime, we will continue selling to our current roster of 12,000 customers.
