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 to
25,000+ visitors 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.
