Where you can buy good quality BAPE (A Bathing Ape) Products online. by Rick Ward

You may not need to ask where to buy BAPE (A Bathing Ape) Gear. However, just because Bape's are in style and can be found anywhere doesn't mean you should buy them from just anyone! Of course you can search through the web and find some online merchants who sell BAPE Gear. But part of being a wise shopper is to know exactly where you should go for the best products and the best service.

The Bathing Ape (BAPE for short) brand has its roots in Japan where designer Nigo began to design unique styles of t-shirts and other clothing which quickly became the trend in Japan. When Nigo teamed up with popular N.E.R.D. artist Pharrel this trend quickly moved into the USA as a popular, rare, and sought after style of clothing for hip hop and urban style clothing. The name Bape comes from "A Bathing Ape" and is based off of the classic "Planet of the Apes" movie. Their slogan is "Ape Shall Never Kill Ape".

The BAPE brand is now basically a Hip Hop and R&B Culture brand. The shoes are based on the original design of the Nike Air Force One's, bape shoes are definitely in a league of their own. The shoes, clothing and accessories feature flamboyant styles and colours to suit every individual's personality. Worn by R & B artists such as Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Snoop Dog just to name a few....

Bape gear can only purchased from official Bape stores and some selected retailers. It is hard to distinguish the good quality from the poor quality products. Not only that but where can you purchase the products from safely online when there are so many scam artists out there, especially if the website is based in Asia.
Trust me I know! I have been there and done that. I purchased some products online from a website and waited, and waited and no products came at all. I sent several emails with no reply. That leaves you in a whole that you can't dig yourself out of.

How do you purchase safely?

You need to make sure that the merchant you are looking to purchase your products from have the following.

1. Can be contacted through a Contact Us! Page. Send them an email and see if they reply.

2. Have a secured server certificate (SSL) for secure online shopping so none of your personal details can be viewed or passed on to any third parties.

3. Possible a product review page where you can view comments that other buyers have left for other would be shoppers.

4. Accepted payment methods are another great way to see if a merchant website is a genuine site or not. If they are a Verified Paypal member than can you purchase with confidence. Because Paypal has strict criteria for all of its members and offers Buyer Protection to shoppers. Never under any circumstances deal with any merchant offering Western Union as a form of payment because you have no protection with your purchases.

5. Also ensure that the merchant has an About Us page or offers some company information like where they are located, shipping information, policies etc...

6. They offer a Quality Guarantee on purchases. This is a good sign.

These are all things that you should look for when you are looking at purchasing products from an online merchant.

I have been shopping for products online for quite a few years now and I am going to tell you the best online retailer I have found for Good Quality BAPE products.

http://www.bathingape.com.au

This merchant offers all of the information that I have discussed above.

I hope your find this information useful and please take my FREE advice.
