Disadvantage of buying from peddlers

[relcap23]

Last month the internal revenue agency of my country made a surprise visit to one of the local grocery stores in my town for allegedly selling counterfeit cigarettes. When they entered the premises they have discovered some reams of imported cigarettes which they confiscated and will then file charges against the store. The owner said that they had purchased the item from a peddler. The cigarette is fast selling and cheaper.
This is lesson learned for some store owners to only buy from legit supplier. A centavo save will eventually cost you a Dollar if one is not careful.

it can happen i too have watched a video where drugs were supplied in such a bad manner i was feeling bad watching the video think about person who did it the authorities who caught him were like do you have any morals that was best for people like them they should be made to feel guilty for what they do that destroys families.

Absolutely its tempting to go for cheaper options, but as you've highlighted, the cost of dealing with counterfeit or illegal products can be much higher in the long run. Quality and authenticity should always be a priority in business.

I think in the business sector there existing fraudulent, and illegal business activities that tend to benefit the perpetrators. Therefore the relevant authorities must be very keen to curb those activities.

That is correct.. There are rampant smuggling activities in our area. Some goods are smuggled into the country using back door. I mean back door is because they take the boat instead of plane going in and out of our country to another country...

It's very true that buying from peddlers can lead to bad consequences. We often keep hearing news about drug peddlers doing so well and having a huge consumer base.
It's unfortunate that to save some bit of money and make a little margin of profit, some businesses fall for there peddlers and put themselves in such legal mess.

This is one major disadvantage when it comes to buying form unofficial vendors. There have been several cases like this in my country as well. These set of people always tend to sell fake items.

 

[henrytuedor]

yes they do those who sell fake items can get you in trouble and can make you spend a lot of money which you could had saved or had invested in any business for greater income indeed actually .

They better be transparent to avoid defamation and penalty. Those store owners must not tolerate peddlers. They should not purchase in bulk for the sake pf a low price. They will be throwing their capital.

 

[henrytuedor]

exactly they sell low quality sometimes expired products that can directly harm your customers and your repute which can lead to downfall of your business indeed .

 

[Starmix]

It's indeed not advisable to indulge with illegal activities for the sake of profit done in an immoral ways. It affects the reputation of the business owner and his business.

 

[henrytuedor]

yes it does most people who follow morality do not do it there are many stars who never do something for their business and this quality of them makes them admirable actually indeed .

 

[moseschidera]

I don't blame them, in area like this if you don't buy from peddlers who will sell it cheaper than the suppliers themselves you might end up with low sales everyday bcs in rural areas people will prefer to buy anything cheaper not minding the quality.

This is true it is not good to buy from illegal vendors. Apart from selling low quality or expired products they sell some very harmful products that can be very bad

Peddlers can't give after sales services in case of any issues that might arise in the usage of the products.
