From Mid 2020 to September 2022 we…
From Mid 2020 to September 2022 we dealt with this company Ideareality for an invention. A very simple invention.
This company will come across as they know what they are doing and they will tell their clients that they have the connections to make your idea become reality. We fell for it. The concept design stage did not meet our expectations and we made them aware of that. They complicated the concept design stage with designs that were far from our simple idea.
Our idea was very simple, so simple that if they truly had the connections and a big supplier network as they made us believe, they would be able to provide more than 1 manufacturer quote. They could only offer 1 quote from one manufacturer in China that was asking exorbitant prices to make a sample. We took this company to court and the case was dismissed, however, we have learnt a lot from this experience with this company and their sneaky ways and poor supplier network.
After a few weeks away on holiday, before going to court, we saw that a similar base for our invention already existed and was being sold in pharmacies for the general public to use, so, there was no need for them to contact a manufacturer to manufacture the base of our invention. This company will make you spend more than what is necessary and that is because their supplier network is very small, if not, non-existent.
We are dealing with another company with which we have shared our bad experience with ideareality and they too saw how ridiculous their prices were for each stage. They were even surprised that ideareality wanted us to spend over 4K for something similar to the base of our invention.
The company we are dealing with now truly have a large supplier network, which makes us save loads.
We believe that everything happens for a reason and there is a lesson or two to learn from each experience we face in life.
We hope that this company (ideareality) expand their supplier network and are truly up to date with what is already out there so they don't make their clients spend more than what is necessary.
