Good Morning!
Through my lurking on this forum over the past month or so, I have noticed a lot of questions along the line of "How do I know if the "manufacture" that I am buying from is actually the manufacture and not just a middle man filling his pockets?"
A little trick that I have found for this is Google maps. Get their address and punch it into google maps. It it comes up on a residential road... well you get my point. Also, once you punch in the address, click on Google Earth. This will give you an even better understanding of what you are working with.
At my current full time job, I have been doing this for awhile. One of our biggest distributors is smack in the middle of nowhere on a farm in the middle of Pennsylvania in a giant barn. Although this doesn't seem outlandish, it is the very last thing I expected.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Dillan
