Hello. I was thinking about placing an order through http://www.brvsuppliers.com/ . They now take credit cards.American Express offers protection so I take this as a secure form of payment. Does anyone out there have any experience with this site. Any input is appreciated. Thanks for your time.

i've been talking to them for a few days...they're just another one of those brokers you'll find dealing in psp's ipods etc...

Would you do business with them or do you think they are scamming people?

What's the big deal with a broker guru4us? I don't get it. If the supplier is legit, and you receive the product you ordered for the price you paid for it, what's the big deal? Just curious, maybe there are things I don't know.

Normally Brokers have higher prices than "actual" suppliers..

Therefore I think guru4us would rather find a wholesaler and obtain these products at the best price possible due to the little margin availible anyway..

Another problem with Brokers, is the reliability of them. They rely on other people to supply them and normally deal in small quanities compared to wholesalers, therefore you are likely to get delays or problems with supply which in effect could case damage to your own business..

i didnt mean it the way some people took it.

if u cant find a decent wholesaler, then for some people, a broker is actually the best way to go. unfortunately, for most brokers u find online, here's what the scenario is:
broker--> another broker--> maybe another and then the wholesaler

or sometimes, most of the brokers are newbies and they dont know jack about brokerage.

another thing is that, brokers like BRVsuppliers ask for T/T...if u dont know them, then ur in a real pickle..

a broker is gonna try to keep u from finding out who their wholesaler is, which is why they ask for T/T. even thats not a problem IF you know they are reliable.
now for the real problem: if something goes wrong in the deal and you dont get ur goods, who is to blame? the broker or the wholesaler? most of the time the brokers just try and wash their hands off and blame the wholesaler when in fact they should be held responsible since they were the intermediary

even some wholesalers are brokers themselves. i know a guy who has a warehouse etc etc. but he knows a few suppliers in HK and gets them to ship directly to his customers.

there's just way too many people u'll find on the internet saying they have stocks of ipods (damn i hate that now too) and psps etc but they all import from singapore. its just hard to trust them unless they take a secure payment method. that way, atleast u'll be safe

anyway, i have nothing against brokers..heck right now im brokering a deal too (the xboxes).

Well, whether this supplier is a broker or not, I am sure going to visit them. I e-mailed them about that and they said they would be happy to have me visit them. They are located in Michigan, USA, my home state! They are about 3 hours from my house. Definitely worth a road trip! Due to my obligations as a full time student in Minnesota, I plan to visit them when I go home for Thanksgiving break around 11/23.

ahhh. let us know then. they said no to me when i asked about visiting

What bothers me is they state on there website under the FAQ section : "We are also certified and Trust Passed on Alibaba.com" No they are not at present, there only a free member like 95% of the other scammers out there. I also cant see an address or phone number on there web site.

Good Luck and please tell us how you went with your visit.
