Manufacturer Product Evaluation Services

We receive sample products for distribution consideration on a regular basis. Each product is evaluated thoroughly and either accepted or rejected based on our internal requirements. Once a product is accepted, we are able to present it in an appropriate section of our on line store. Our on-line store receives about 2,000,000 (Two Million) accumulated hits per month. In addition we frequently engage in sponsored media events, allowing us to reach more than 25,000,000(+) households off line through TV broadcast, press, trade venues, and direct mailers.

Due to great demand we have streamlined our product evaluation process where we no longer toss out rejected products. We mail them back with a summary report including our reason(s) for rejecting the product(s). If a product is accepted, we contact the respective manufacturer to discuss distribution terms and policy accordingly. To make the process more efficient we recommend the following for all inventors and manufacturers who would like us to evaluate and consider their patented product(s) for distribution:

1- Waiver of liability: In addition to understanding and agreeing with our general company policy, terms and conditions, each manufacturer must understand and agree that products may be damaged during evaluation and that ReallyCoolToys.com is not responsible for repair or replacement of failed samples under any circumstance.

2- Package: Product samples send to us must include sample specimen, related literature and information as sold commercially. Product specifications, special features, and user manuals are a must in order for us to properly evaluate each sample under intended conditions.

3- Sample Product Evaluation Request Form: All sample products send to us by manufacturers and individuals must include a "Sample Product Evaluation Request" form. Packages send, lacking adequate information may be rejected prior to evaluation process all together. Simply download or fill out our on-line "Sample Product Evaluation Request" form (available in PDF format) print it, and include it with your shipment. Prepaid packaging must be also included if sample product return is required.

4- Prototypes and Patents: We prefer that sample providers send us only patented sample products and nothing that compromises the integrity and privacy of the product. We are the number one distributor for a number of Really Cool Toys World-Wide. We also manufacture our own line of Really Cool Toys. We can not entertain any novel products or ideas for evaluation unless the product is adequately protected by the inventor or respective manufacturer of the product. Furthermore, we may not be held responsible for such sample provider delinquencies.

5- Sample Acceptance and Rejection: About 2% of manufacturer sample products are accepted for distributorship. Near 90% is rejected after evaluation for not meeting our quality and product criteria standards. A product sample is also rejected due to product failure during evaluation. An average of 8% of samples are rejected due to lack of quality of support for the respective manufacturers presenting samples to us. Manufacturers lacking the ability to stand behind their product providing world-class support and services need not apply. In nutshell we do not distribute every sample product that reaches us, only those which meet our product and service quality and criteria standards.
