Hello Guys
I have a very strange request from a potential customer essentially they want to order the 10 cheapest items I have in the Hitachi range of products, it doesn't matter what I sell them.
when I asked why they sent me this:
"
That’s a fair question — completely understand why it might sound unusual.
The reason we’re asking for your cheapest Hitachi-branded items is purely administrative. We’re in the process of setting up our Hitachi supplier file and need an official invoice showing the brand name and quantity purchased to validate our account eligibility.
At this stage, it doesn’t matter which specific products they are — just that they’re genuine Hitachi items supplied by an authorised source. Once that’s complete, we can proceed to review your broader range for larger volume orders.
Would you be able to confirm which of your Hitachi products fit that brief so we can place the order right away"
I've not gone ahead with this yet, as for the the life of me I can't understand the angle here.
Maybe he is trying to get ungated by Amazon and needs an official invoice showing Hitachi on it? Anyone else ever come across this?
