First connected with a representative from Steves apparel. After spending $250 via paypal for a digital mock-up, I was sent to another individual by the name of Martin Jones that is titled "senior project manager." Things were going good as we communicated back and forth to get the final tech mock up done. After the tech mock up was finished, thats when things got a little weird. It was explained that I was to only be allowed to have a minimum amount per order. That makes sense. After deciding I wanted to do 4 different styles, my total came out to be $4480 for 280 hats. However, he was insistent that to get this started that I would need to pay 60% down to get samples and materials and then the rest of the 40% to start production. Not unusual. We then negotiated to a 50/50 payment split, however when it came to payment on a large $2k+ down payment, he only accepted zelle or bank transer AND it was to be sent to another LLC called Zegatron. This Zegatron company was never mentioned prior to the invoice being sent to me so I was a bit shocked when I found this out. As you may know, things like zelle or bank transfer cannot be reversed. Once the money is sent, its gone. If the receiving end chooses to do nothing, then it is what it is and I was not ready to take that risk. After I requested a safer buyer protected online payment service such as paypal, Martin was 1000% against it stating that there would be too many hoops to jump through such as taxes and what not. I was excited about getting started but I was not going to be swindled out of a crazy sum of money. The website is full of fake reviews. None of the people on the site that are writing the reviews are real people let alone real companies they are claimed to represent. Steveapparel.com is just a face to ZegatronLLC that works with manufacturers in Pakistan. There is nothing wrong with that however the methods of taking payment is too risky for me. I called it off. Ill take the tech pach and I will go to another manufacturer. Thank you.
