Getting Online for Wholesale

Type in the words “wholesale sunglasses” on any given search engine and more often than not, the sites that come up are sellers of designer sunglasses or replicas of designer sunglasses. Most of these wholesale sunglasses sites require the buyer to have a minimum order. Some also entice the buyers with additional discounts if they refer other people.

The main thing anyone should remember before typing over one’s credit card number on the order form is the saying, “If it’s too good to be true, then it is”. First of all, look into the quality of the products. You may be looking at them online, but you should use online platforms to see if the wholesaler you are dealing with is legitimate or not. Look for reviews regarding the website and see if there are any previous complaints from people who have dealt with the website before. But take all these reviews with a grain of salt. Some reviews of websites may have been written by competitors who want to sabotage the reputation of the business. But if the reviews are resoundingly bad, then stay away!

Then, there are signs to consider if the website is of a legitimate business or a scam. Scammers usually don’t have sites at all. They either send mass emails or post or advertise in forums containing a list and photos of their supposed stock which you are supposed to order via untraceable payment schemes like issuing cheques or sending the payment through money order. These sellers will most definitely disappear together with your money.


Make sure that the wholesale sunglasses website you’re dealing with has a working contact number or better yet a verified customer service number on their sites. Legitimate sellers will also most likely not ask for membership fees since they are in the business of selling merchandise in the first place and not profit from fees. Lastly, one could also ask to contact other wholesale sunglasses buyers and get their feedback about the buyer regarding the product they received, speed of delivery, after sales support, privacy policies and return policies.
