Good morning. Brothers.
I am a seller of custom & selling flashlights in Korea.
I’ve always liked Convoy’s flashlights and wanted to sell them in Korea.
I left Convoy with products and messages several times, but Convoy didn’t respond at all. In my opinion, Convoy is not delivering products to sellers. Do these friends have no intention of doing business?
I wonder why Convoy doesn’t sell things through sellers.
Do you have any brothers you know?
In my opinion, it’s all about profit. Convoy sells direct through ali store.I am sure if they sold you 10,000 lights you would not pay retail prices, you would want to pay wholesale prices.
Convoy, ie, Simon, is a one-man band trying to do it all by his lonesome. How he even gets the time to sleep is beyond me, what with handling online sales, making the lights in the first place, taking care of any mishaps (customer service), designing the next models of lights, and even maintaining a presence here. I get exhausted just thinking about it.
He’s got bills to pay, so a “seller” might be able to buy some lights and resell at an extremely modest profit, but don’t expect him to sell below or even at his own cost, ’cause he and his family’s gotta eat, too.
He’s wonderful.
FastTech and Mountain Electronics have both sold Convoy lights at one time or another, even GearBest.

Thanks Brother.
The price and quality of the convoy are very good.
Perhaps because it is run by individuals, not by companies, good price and quality
Seems to be coming out. If it were a company product, it would have been difficult to sell things at such a low price.
Interesting, as far as I know, Simon has a small team with a dozon of workers, otherwise, it’s impossible for him alone to assemble so many flashlights every day.
Well, yeah, a handful of workers does the assembly, but he’s still not a Nitecore or Acebeam.
Simon is the single best Aliexpress seller I have ever used, recently ordered a bunch of emitters and I can’t believe the service he offers for the price you pay.
But I have also bought Convoy flashlights at Fasttech and Gearbest before. So commercial sellers do have access to Convoy lights somehow.
Are you certain of this? Simon told me that when he gets a new flashlight model he is required to put in a minimum order of 1000 units. He doesn’t have his own factory by the sounds of it. Sure, they’ll customize lights to suit buyers, but the assembly of most come from elsewhere
I’m a dealer in New Zealand for Convoy and I’ve never had an issue with communication.
MOQ is $300+ usd for wholesale rates
Simon is the nicest guy out of all the companies I deal with. I demand to pay for orings, yet he always includes them free lol it’s no use. Had an issue when I was a dealer for Fireflies with their orings getting cut, I mentioned it to Simon and he sent me a big bag of orings free. No company would usually give away product for a brand of lights that aren’t even theirs.
If I have a light fail, I don’t get asked to send pics or a video like most other brands.
Yeh, I ordered some ZWB2 filters or something, asked him if he sold any S2+ pills as I didn’t see any listings in his online catalogue, and he threw in a few for free. Didn’t even ask him to do so.
That’s why even though he offers a blf discount, I made a point to never ask for it. You want a “custom” light made, like driver X and emitter Y, and if it’s at all possible, he’ll do it gratis.
Like I said, he’s wonderful.
The answer will always be “they think they make the most money that way”/
