Website legitimacy and drop shipping question

[Little Dutch]

Brescoinc has the beer faucet taps I'm looking for $20 cheaper than anywhere else at the moment. I need two of them.
Their "contact us" page shows an address that exists on google with the same name and same website.


Here's what I'm attempting to buy:
https://www.brescoinc.com/buy/product/Perlick-630SSTF-Beer-Faucet-sanitary-front-forward-se/PRLK-630SSTF?srsltid=AR57-fD0CF9R4gsYXBj1eEc_Ck_mumPeHep8a4FTlemmgXTpGsDT9i7 nEuI


The availablity on these says "drop ship". Will I receive anything? Will I receive a genuine part? Will it be in a few weeks? Are these coming direct from china by boat and may or may not arrive in a few months? It's making me nervous.

It's $40, but I'm quickly getting cold feet on trying to save the money. Any thoughts?

Call them?

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

The page you linked says it should ship in two or three weeks.

I generally prefer to order items that are in stock and ready to ship even if I have to pay a little extra.

60 seconds on google didn't raise any red flags. legit business address shows up on maps, linked in, biz listings, etc.

If you're concerned about a fraudulent site, call them.

Well, at least they are being honest about the fact that they do not stock anything and that your order is being drop shipped from their supplier. The question would be, does the suoplier have the item in stock?

Optics Planet is notorious for this. They have their site loaded with product, everything is dropped shipped from somewhere else though they don't tell you this, most of the time the product is not available at the supplier and you never see it but Optics Planet will take your money in the mean time.

There's the answer to the Drop Ship question, thanks. I missed the time-to-ship when I was looking last night.

Ordering from kegworks this morning.

That's the big concern with OP for me as well. Generally if I'm ordering parts I'm in the middle of building something. I don't want to wait a month for it to get across the ocean and through customs.


Thanks all.

Brescoinc ...

Any thoughts?

Since they have a real location, I'd do it (if the time to ship wasn't a concern).
