Dear Bossbackdrop,
Do read the thread properfly. I have no bad feelings if anyone orders directly from you and even offered to show them your products before they order from you. As I mentioned, good product is a good product.
The first time I went to buy from Boss was in October 04 from Mr. Mehta. At that time the shop was also selling small accessories like softbox for flashguns among other things which they have now stopped. How did I know that? And I still have the softbox with me. And its been months now since I had actually told my photography friends here about the backdrops from Boss but just did not know that there was a website.
It is ok for you to accuse me of anything. As mentioned, I am not in this business and many members here who knows me know that. I'm in a total different line and Paras has my name card. Because I travel much to your offshore destination, that is the reason why I thought of doing this MO. In fact, this is the first time ever I tried to Mo a product and by telling people about Bossbackdrops does exposed your products here which were unknown to the photographic community. But now, its given me more headaches and heartaches. I am certainly not at a loss when I stop, and that is the truth.
The so called advertisement is to show people the product and linked directly to your website. Not in anyways that I had mentioned that I was the manufacturer/reseller/owner/salesman. Everyone here knows that. I was just trying to do an MO. Do view other MO in this website and see for yourself. There are many people who do MO and link websites to the manufacturer for information reasons.
Anyways, I am still helping out the photographers here by offering those prices as it is the prices which they are not able to get in Singapore. Mr. Chavda, not everybody travels and those who don't do appreciates others in helping them out. Yes we do make money along the way but we are also not at loss when we don't do it too. Do take note that I have to put cost of "hand carrying" the items myself and pay excess baggage as I do not courier the products. As mentioned, I am not in the business at all.
As I mentioned in an email to you, another shop did give me a better pricing, but I had decided to go for Boss because of my good experience in buying from Boss backdrops. But not to worry, as you do not want me to be related in any ways, I had stopped as requested.
Do tell me if you want me to also stop telling "Bossbackdrops is a good product" as mentioned in the thread too.
Do let me know if you think I should write in here my actual buying price and the excess baggage to show how much I make on a single product and at the same time, they will be able to compare to the prices which you offer in US. But by doing so, your US customers who are on this forum will also find out that the prices in your offshore shop is a lot lower and maybe realize that there are other shops there with even lower prices.
As you said the prices I quoted is the list price as in your website? It certainly is not. And free delivery? Yes, cause I handcarry them back with me from your other office (atleast suppose to) and delivery to them in Singapore.
I am not out to spoil your business but actually promote your name. Guess that was certainly a mistake.
The first time you wrote to me to stop, I did and closed the thread. I had apologize to you for using the photos (linked from your website) and the website link and closed the thread as requested.
Later you wrote to me again to go ahead with it. After I restarted a new thread, you again write and ask me to stop. And again I did. See below message sent by yourself to me (thur PM) the 2nd time (all messages sent by you are still saved).
Mr. Chavda, no worries, I will certainly disassociate myself with your company. I did not know that it is a bad thing to promote a good product.
