Wholesale Handbag – A Guide to Buying Online

Type in the words “wholesale handbag” on any given search engine and more often than not, the sites that come up are sellers of designer handbags or replicas of designer handbags. Most of these wholesale-designer handbags 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, the product. How should one know that the wholesale handbag they’re buying is real and not a knock off? The most obvious indicator is the price. If the bag is being sold at a tiny fraction of the price of what they normally cost, then you can be sure that it is a fake. The next thing that one should do is to know more about the brand and the details of the specific bag model one is buying. Generally, one should be familiar with the kind of material the particular bag is made of. The logo should be visible and sharp, the label spelled correctly, and it should also be sewn inside the bag.

Most designer bags have serial numbers and one can also spot a fake using this method. It is not enough that the bag has a serial number since any counterfeiter can just stamp some random number on a fake purse and hope the buyer would be none the wiser. For example on a COACH bag, the style number is included in the serial number. So, one must check that the style number found on the bag corresponds to that bag’s style. Also incorporated in the serial number is the year when the bag came out so one should make sure that they match. Basically, serial numbers of designer bags come in a standard format so to make sure one is holding the original, the format should be correct and the year and style indicators in the number corresponds to the bag design and the year that particular design came out.

Having checked the product (or to be exact the photograph of the product), 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-designer handbags website you’re dealing with is 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 handbag buyers and get their feedback about the buyer regarding the product they received, speed of delivery, after sales support, privacy policies and return policies.
