HiTechStop.com - are they legit?

Hey, they are offering me dropshipping on xbox 360 prem. for $300 total. Ipod Nanos 4gb for $175 + shipping. I called them and spoke with them, but how do I know they're legit?

They are in the United States they have to have additional information like a business license or resellers id.

i'm planing on placing an order with them too. and i'm wondering the same thing.

Do they have a website or not?If they do you can check up on them that way. I would be interested in checking them out myself.

I dont know guys. $285 for a Xbox 360 Prem. Package is pretty damn low. They are selling EASY for 325 without shipping on eBay. If it is legit let's all start guys! We'll get rich. But if it's not we will get sued, and lose hundreds, possibly thousands. errr.

No website that I know of. I've been trying to reach the guy... missed him twice now. Got him once though before.

keep us posted

anyone got any info on him ?

anyone got any info on him ?

Spoke to Herald Masih (owner of Hitech Stop) on Monday (8/21) and discussed about buying 5 ipods 4gb for 175 each per unit. Total for 5 ipods was $885 including s/h. I took the offer, faxed him my driver's license and Visa credit card. Next day, he called me to verify the order and slapped me with 2.9% surcharge of the total price which now amounted to 918 something. I went ahead thinking I still have a little profit left for resale. I was told that the ipods would be arriving by Saturday (8/26) at the latest via USPS priority. Much to my anticipation, the item did not come, I immediately called him and he said it was sent out to the wrong address ( ouch) and he'd process my refund. He e-mailed me the refund number that same day.

My bottom line is, if he's a genuine a supplier as he thinks he is, then he's definitely not reliable. I will not deal with him!!
I hope you guys can learn from this:)

So someone else just got $900+ worth of Ipods free! :shock:

haha, I doubt it. I think hes a total fake, and now he has access to your credit card. I do sincerly appreciate the in formation on him you have been able to share. Im still not sure. Sounded like he could be somwhat real.... but he wanted to dropship for me. Then I wouldnt know the item wouldnt arrive! Tricky little bastard.

Whats with the faxing of a drivers license and credit card; could't have he accepted PayPal

good info wibowo. I was about to order as well. welll..... i pull out now

So someone else just got $900+ worth of Ipods free! :shock: [/color]

Here's my story: Last Monday I called and ordered 25 4GB Nanos and was told they would ship the same day. He called back later Monday and said he was over his merchant account limit for the day but would charge me Tuesday. I asked if he would go ahead and ship but he said it was too late. On Tuesday he called and said that he had a fresh batch of iPods due in on Wednesday with newer production dates and would rather send those to me. I told him I didn't mind the older production run so I would have them before the weekend. He assured me he would ship Wednesday and I would have them Friday. I called back Wednesday and was told that the delivery driver was on his way to the post office and I would have them Friday. I didn't expect to get them until Saturday but they didn't show up even then. I got a call this morning letting me know that his guy had messed up and put the wrong label on my box of 25. I asked if that meant I was going to get someone else's box and he kind of stumbled around before saying I might get a box of 5. He is going to refund the entire purchase price.

He told me the first time we talked that he gets 1000 of these a week, then the second time we talked he gets 5000 a week and supplies all the retail stores in New York. Today when we talked he isn't getting any this week and the 800 he is getting next week is the last batch he is ordering, as he is getting out of the iPod game. He said Apple is really making it hard on them by raising their fees. I checked into the Apple reseller program and there are no fees, just very specific requirements for your business.

As long as I get my refund as promised, I don't care. I'll let you all draw your own conclusions. I WILL be keeping an eye on my credit report and my credit card statements...

[edited: Please register to sell thanks]

Come in and see we are a multi-million Dollar Electronics Distribution Company.

hey herald if you are legit, how come no one can receive their ipods, wrong address, wrong order, cmon man!

When do you expect your website to be up?

-RB!

I don't remember seeing him say anything about a website. Did I miss that?

I talked to him, he said he's having his tech people work on it

I'm in New York on business every month or so and I might stop by his store for grins. I'm curious to know why he gives:

248-56B, Jericho Turnpike
Bellerose Village, New York, 11001
Tel: 1-516-328-1090

as his business address, but that phone number comes back to:

M O Leiter
1128 Langdon St
Franklin Square, NY, 11010

which is two and half miles away. May be a perfectly good explanation but still curious why there is ZERO mention of this multi-million dollar operation on the internet, not even a business registration that I can find.

Come down and see our Store, the address i gave is the right address, I don't know why the other address comes up, Maybe this phone line is a recycled number from verizon.

This is really absurd How all these people here are just trying to put my company down. We don't need to sell over the internet. People always envy what they don't have. Our yearly income is over 6 mill!! You people can't beat that since we're getting bigger everyday

Fantastic customer-first attitude! :roll:

hey well let us know if the business is there and everything and if you find this guy

Will do. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it in September or not. I have meetings scheduled already for two weeks in September and am leaving for China mid-October, so I may be sticking around here to get things in order.

I can honestly say that I hope he does turn out to be legit, and that I'm just being overly-cautious. He HAS refunded the payment I made as promised.

Gonna have to add, if you make 6 million a year and you dont need internet sales... why do you purchase a salehoo membership and take time out of your multimilliondollar lifestyle to waste your time talking to us, the clients you dont need?

Just like other sellers, they're always looking for buyers. Just because someone may be making millions doesn't mean they're going to stop, sit back, and watch the money pile in. Every successfull entrepreneur, regardless of how much they're making, is always going to try to expand and better their business.

-RB!

That was a good responce. Wow. I have nothing to say.

And apparently neither does he...

Remind me again is that supposed to hurt my company? You can pull out of whatever business, your driveway we don't care!! You don't want to do business just 'don't do it' like a reverse NIKE commercial :)

I have a couple of buyers in New York that i drop-ship Televisions for on Ebay already. So no problem we can drop-ship for you. Direct line to me the owner 516-328-1090. We'll work on the moq's and any payment method you feel is good for you.

Hi,
You mention that maybe next week you will have a new Warehouse in NJ? Do you know when? Because I'm interested in visiting your store in NY, but the one in NJ will be closer to me (I'm in PA)
Thanks

By the end of this month. If you want you are still welcome to come by our New York office anytime.

I just wanted to add, I have been working with Harold, as a buyer and supplier. He is legit as it gets. All business have there moments and problems. But I did not hear anyone say he ripped them so the comments and judgments being passed are unnecessary.
Harold is a very hard working honest dependable supplier. He has the inventory and likes to help people who are trying to get started in the business, so don't go shooting your self’s in the foot before you have the facts. By the way, it is not as simple as calling Apple and asking for Ipods there are license and a lot of fees associated to sell the real thing. I know this personally I am in the middle of that process now.

Sincerely,
Michelle Ledet


HI Harold :D

Hello all this is my first post :D I am in the UK and I wish to buy Ipods and the Xbox 360 Premium UK Pal version.

If any one meets heraldm please let me know, as I may be interested. I am after 30-50 units per week.

I would meet him myself but its abit hard being a few thousand miles across the sea :lol:

I am not prepared to take risks as I did once on Alibaba.com and I got scammed big time. I will only accept Paypal as payment now.

Will you kindly register with salehoo if you are really serious about helping and selling to salehoo members.

LOL....who said paypal was safe?

Will you kindly register with salehoo if you are really serious about helping and selling to salehoo members.

Who is this directed to?

I spoke with him on the phone. He had great information and answered any and all questions i could possibly have and he did it politely. seems like a great company with low prices but i havent bought anything yet so ill have to tell you later.

P.S. Thanks for all the information herald you were extremely helpful.

Sorry erse the comment was directed to Haroldm. I see that a lot of users requested that sellers be registered. Than I still see evryone selling goods without being registered. The process sorta defeats the purpose. I know a lot of us are successful in this business. If we want to help others with our supplies we should register. Especially if we are already making millions. I currently don't want to sell to salehoo members because my inventory is unstable. I am not dependable with the same products all the time with low prices. I have dependable dropship supplies but they are at higher prices and probaly wouldnt interest salehoo members.

I have a couple of buyers in New York that i drop-ship Televisions for on Ebay already. So no problem we can drop-ship for you. Direct line to me the owner 516-328-1090. We'll work on the moq's and any payment method you feel is good for you.

I'm interested in Sony Playstation 3, can you get them when they come out? Also I could pickup since I live in NJ just outside Philadelphia.

Thanks,

John

I'm interested in seeing if Mr Masih has a website as I cant find one anywhere for his store so I can browse.

Searched google and found his name and buisness alongwith phone details and addy [like he said here] Link hidden: Login to view

Wow, an interesting thread to say the least. In my humble opinion I would have to say that Mr. Masish is legitimate, for if he wasn't, why bother to defend himself on salehoo? However, on the flip side of the coin, there would appear to be some logistics problems on the business end, which needs to be corrected (I'm sure they are already). As with all businesses, as they grow, there are going to be bumps in the road, and there are definitely going to be unsatisfied customers. I do have one question though, if the products arrived at a different address, was a choice offered between refunding the money or reshipping new products out? If a refund was the only option, then that would be fishy. Also the 2.9% surcharge seems to be spot on with a paypal fee. There is a feature that you can have with paypal as a business member where you can process card transactions yourself.

Ok Centercorp you just need to walk in to see for yourself how big of an operation Hi-Tech Stop is before you get finger happy and start typing again. From all that we've seen so far in this forum, this is a place for struggling sellers who just want to sell on ebay. NEW FLASH!! everyone wants to sell on ebay. Check out some of our auctions on ebay seller id: hitechstop. Distributors like us have no problems selling on ebay since we are direct with Manufacturers in the US and authorized to distribute products in the market. But you people need to understand not everyone can sell on ebay due to the competition, so stop just thinking of IPOD'S/XBOX'S/PS3'S and have other products to consumers too. AND CENTERCORP IT'S 2.62%, which is from Chase Paymentech services, and all the buyers were made aware of the surcharge. So if they're crying about it now, YOU'VE BEEN REFUNDED babies.

.........

I hate to get into it with you...

1.) I said that I believed you were legitimate.
2.) Finger happy? I thought I showed great restraint in my comments. However, since you cannot take it that way let me say this.

Your business professionalism is crappy at best. You are rude, have no manners, and you are too sure of yourself. If your head were any bigger, you could serve as the next weather balloon. I hope you continue to succeed, however with you being blinded by your own ego and your inability to take any critism contructive or otherwise with the smallest amount of grace in order to improve yourself as a business man (which ALL successful entreprenuers have learned to do) I see it to be your downfall in the future should you indeed fail. All successful entreprenuers who have lasted have a skill that is universal to all of them, and that's people skills. From what I can see, you have none, and seem to be more concerned about trumping up your business ego than explaining to others politely your reasoning why you do what you do. Slapping down others seems to be your strength, I bet you feel just so wonderful in making (or trying to make) people feel so small and insignificant to compared to you. Remember, we all started in the same place, including you, and thats the bottom.


-Benjamin

P.S. You have a feedback of 1 with a neutral and it isnt pretty. Not to mention that you are a new user, and you're showing off your superior ebay skills already? Your layout isn't all that either. Anything else you want to impress us with big boy?


-Benjamin

I checked the feedback for that name and it does only show a feedback of 1. Did you post the correct name Sir.

Hey Heraldm, could you email me your Info. (Address/Phone) to Link hidden: Login to view. I would like to make arrangements to come out to your location.

Thanks,

John

Centercorp obviously has selective memory. If you recall we said we never needed the net just started posting stuff on ebay like last week, and if you carefully read our auctions 90% of all our transactions are completed outside of ebay because people call in for that discount. Wow Centercorp obviously you live on your computer, just waited for us to respond, probably waiting right now for a response too. Get a life and next time read our auctions.

Ok guy, whatever. Allow me to refresh Your selective memory....

'Check out some of our auctions on ebay seller id: hitechstop. Distributors like us have no problems selling on ebay since we are direct with Manufacturers in the US and authorized to distribute products in the market'

1.) Where does it say that you have only been posting for a week?

2.) Ok, so you've only been posting a week on ebay...and you're saying that you're such the mad salesman that you are already? You're an idiot sir.


It's called email notification herold. And when I have time im on the forums. I work harder than you could ever imagine. That is why I own 2 companies and you have...well, you have a group of people that you work with I guess, since you never admitted if you owned the company or just represented it. Your words contradict themselves, and you apparently still cannot take ANY contructive criticism.

Oh, and next time, try to stick to the same perspective when you type. Did you even pass english? Oh one more thing, if Ebay finds out that you encourage sales outside of the Ebay auction you'll have issues with them. That one's free, but im sure you already knew all about that didn't you hoss?


-Benjamin

I'm not one for flaming, however by all means herold keepem comin. I'm rather enjoying picking you and your company apart with undeniable logic.

-Benjamin

And another to keep it going.

Is the warehouse in NJ up?

And why does a MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR company, with such 'resources' to spare, can bump into problems with LOGISTICS? You mean all this time you've put labels wrongly and stuff?

First impression is the most lasting one, and this sure isn't a good one.

This post is getting off topic and turning toward the aggressive side.
On that Note:

Thread Locked And any more posts in salehoo forums like this will be deleted..

Thanks
