Verify licensing and registration: Confirm the supplier holds the necessary licenses and registrations from relevant health authorities. Check their website for documentation or contact them directly for verification. This ensures they operate legally and follow safety regulations.
Checking Supplier Reputation
Read online reviews: Explore independent review platforms for customer feedback on the supplier’s reliability, product authenticity, and delivery services. Pay close attention to recurring themes in the reviews to identify potential problems.
Contact the supplier: Reach out directly. Ask about their sourcing practices, quality control measures, and return policies. A reputable supplier will be transparent and readily provide this information. Look for detailed answers, not vague assurances.
Check for secure payment options: Legitimate suppliers utilize secure payment gateways (like PayPal or Stripe) to protect your financial information. Avoid suppliers who only accept wire transfers or other less secure methods.
Compare prices: Be wary of significantly lower prices than market average, which might indicate counterfeit products. A slightly higher price often signifies higher quality and assurance of authenticity.
Confirm product packaging: Genuine Oratane will have specific packaging features. Compare the supplier’s description and images to official product images to ensure consistency. Discrepancies suggest potential counterfeiting.
