Why it's Vital to Shop for PPE Locally

Buying local protects you from PPE Scams in several ways

From reports of toxic hand sanitizers, to substandard equipment, to fraudulent vendors promising large shipments of PPE to schools, hospitals and businesses, when it comes to buying PPE, it's buyer beware out there. In the rush to reopen businesses and schools, it seems everyone is in need of PPE these days: for customers, for staff, for health care workers, for faculty and for students. That makes the situation ripe for unethical opportunists who proport to offer solutions, but in the end, only create more problems.

Even the Federal Bureau of Investigation has warned consumers about rampant fraud on the PPE supply market. These scammers have promised supplies they do not have, so some have received wired funds and have not fulfilled orders. And they often price goods far lower than reputable companies, to capture the most sales from unsuspecting victims. Bad actors have even pretended to be part of a reputable agency, creating similar email addresses and redirecting payments to their own pockets. When trying to procure the supplies you need to face the COVID-19 pandemic and protect the wellbeing of those around you, the risks are many.

The difference of buying from a trusted vendor

At EO Johnson Business Technologies, we live where you live. Our children attend school where your children go. And we are passionate about protecting the wellbeing of our community to the best of our ability. From our perspective, we're all in this together. And that's why we've taken the extraordinary step of working with trusted vendors to ensure you have a safe option for ordering PPE, from a trusted, local company. Browsing the internet is no way to find a reputable company. Even Amazon.com has taken down millions of products that make fraudulent promises about preventing infection or spread of COVID-19. It can be difficult, if not impossible, to tell who's on your side.

When you work with a local, family-run company that has been in the area for more than 60 years, when you've depended on them to deliver the best in business technologies and support, you know you're working with someone you can trust.
