1.Is the Website legit?

When buying a hat, you always want to make sure you’re buying the hats from a trusted source. Some ways to find i the website is legit is to go to Alexa.com for more information about the website, and wearchive.org to see how long the website has existed.

2.Do they have a 1-800 number on their website?

When ordering hats you always want to easily be able to reach your seller to reach out and have any of your questions answered. With a 1-800 number you don’t have to wait days for the business to see your email and reply. An 1-800 number is also a pretty good way to tell if a company is credible.

3.BBB Rating

Another way to tell if a company is trust is through the company’s BBB (Better Business Bureau) rating. A BBB rating is a rating of a company's likeliness to interact with customers. The rating goes from an A+ (highest) to F (lowest). Some companies can also be rated NR or No Rating due to the BBB not having enough information about the company, or if there is an ongoing review of the business. You can also go to the BBB website to find more in-depth information about a business. You can use this to easily find out whether a business is credible or not.

4.Read Testimonials

An additional way to effectively tell if you should buy wholesale hats from a company is to read the customer testimonials. Some companies have customer Testimonials and reviews on their websites. You can also use third party websites such as Google Reviews, Shopperapprove, Yotpo, and Sitejabber.

5.Check if they’re a Dropshipper or if they ship from their own warehouse.

When buying wholesale hats, you tend to not want to buy from Dropshippers. Dropshippers ship directly from a big supplier straight to the customer with no warehouse or building needed. The problem with this is that the Dropshipper needs to make a profit so they charge you more than if you were to buy it from the actual supplier itself.

6.Price

One of the biggest things to consider when shopping for Wholesale hats is the price that the seller is selling the hats for. You always want to make sure that the seller you are buying from has the lowest prices possible. So when shopping around for Wholesale hats, shop at multiple different websites to see which companies have the best deals and the lowest prices on the hats that you want.

7.Do they have a good return policy?

A good return policy is always vital to consider when shopping for wholesale hats. This is because you always want to make sure you can get your money back if the hats you buy are not up to the quality you want. You want to look for companies with at least a 30 day return policy. You also want to look for a company that has a 100% customer satisfaction policy. This is so that if you don’t like the product you received you can always get your money back.

8.Do they offer free and fast shipping?

The final thing to consider when shopping for wholesale hats is the speed of the shipping and how if the shipping is free or not. You ideally want a shipping time maximum of 2 weeks and you want the shipping to be free, so when looking at a company’s website look at their delivery time and if they have free shipping or not.
