>our patented design
Haha. This writeup is by a drop shipper. In first sentence he admits to cloning another successful product. They were out conned at their own con, hard to shed a tear.
- Veen 4y agoYes, they were outplayed at their own game. What they did to HyperVolt (Hyperice), the Chinese merchants did to them. But it's still a useful article because it's eye-opening for the average Amazon shopper.
- anonymoushn 4y agoThe same thing happens to you if you design original products. We designed a variety of products, had them manufactured and shipped to the US, and fulfilled them ourselves. The fine counterfeiters our manufacturers illegally sold the designs to have made literal millions selling our designs on Amazon and we have moved on.
- AtlasBarfed 4y ago"had them manufactured and shipped to the US" You surrendered your IP doing that, effectively, correct? This is not new. A decade ago I heard about chinese factories doing runs above and beyond the manufacturing they did for a company to sell through "other channels". And that's how "Shimano" products were dirt cheap in Europe for about five years.
- anonymoushn 4y ago> You surrendered your IP doing that, effectively, correct? Sure, in the same sense that we would have by manufacturing them things ourselves using raw materials we harvested ourselves and then selling them online where anyone could buy them and take them apart?
- matheusmoreira 4y agoEnticed by cheap labor, you handed your intellectual property to them on a silver platter and they made full use of it to undercut you and sell to your customers directly. Chinese manufacturers have been doing this for decades.
- crispyambulance 4y agoYep, the OP "David" is part of the cess-pool. I doubt he even has the self-awareness to recognize that his "company" is every bit as much a parasite as BUTCYTE.
- newaccount74 4y agoIt sounds like he is actually selling the same product as the other people. 1) Some chinese manufacturer clones the Hyperice massage gun 2) They look for people to sell their clone and find OP. 3) OP buys a bunch of those massage guns (with unique patented design) and sells them on Amazon. 4) OP thinks he is the only partner of the manufacturer. In reality the manufacturer sells their product to a bunch of people. 5) All those partners now compete on Amazon to sell the same product.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoYeah I don't have much sympathy for a copy cat aspirant getting outcompeted by other copy cats at their own game. And it also suggests most of the commenters on this post didn't actually read the article carefully.
- BonoboIO 4y agoMindblowing. Hahaha. I mean the whole time I was reading the medium article I was like „why don’t you also bribe Amazon employees. WHYYYYY NOT?“
