About SAMRUX
A department store with a rejection rate.
728 products across 14 departments. Every one of them displaced something else, because each department is capped at fifty-two. That cap is the entire product strategy — it forces a decision instead of a listing.
Timeline
Three decisions that set the rules
2019
One department, one buyer
SAMRUX started as an electronics shortlist — twelve products a single buyer was willing to put their name against. The list was useful precisely because it was short.
2022
The cap
As departments were added we set a hard limit of fifty-two products each. Adding something means removing something. It is the only rule that has never been relaxed.
2025
Warranty in-house
We stopped forwarding warranty claims to manufacturers. If we sold it, we handle it — which quietly changed what we were willing to stock in the first place.
Selection
What has to be true before we stock it
Four tests. A product that fails any one of them does not make the catalogue, however well it would sell.
Serviceable
Spare parts exist and are sold to consumers. A sealed unit with a two-year lifespan does not make the list.
Honestly specified
We test the headline number. If the claimed coverage, runtime or brightness does not hold up, the product is rejected.
Supported
There is a real support channel behind it — a firmware roadmap, a parts line, a human on the phone.
Priced without theatre
No permanent 40%-off. Our compare-at price is what we actually charged last month.
Departments
Where the catalogue sits today
Fifty-two products each, reviewed quarterly.
