When this becomes risky
- Company identity changes across website, invoice, email, and bank account.
- The supplier avoids showing current factory, warehouse, or order evidence.
- The price is far below normal market level with pressure to pay quickly.
- The supplier cannot answer product-specific manufacturing questions.

When not to use this page as your only decision
If the order is highly technical, legally sensitive, regulated, or safety-critical, you may need a specialized laboratory test, legal review, or certified audit. AlphaSS reduces sourcing risk with buyer-side evidence and practical checks, but we do not guarantee supplier safety or final product legality.
