Where to purchase our brand
Our brands are sold only on our specific websites and venues.
To protect you, please be aware that we use only certain websites and sales venues. In today's world, many individuals copy product images, descriptions, and more to create fake websites, listings, and offers. This happens to many legitimate websites and products. They also copy from large auction and sales platforms. The list is endless. These unauthorized sellers may claim to be "authorized" sellers. Many of them are international operations whose motives range from stealing your money to selling you inferior substitute products. In some cases, you may purchase an item at an inflated price from someone who doesn't actually have it—they may then order the product and have it sent to you (drop shipping). Drop shippers can cause issues, especially with warranties, as they may apply only to the original buyer and not the final recipient.
In more innocent cases, a seller on an auction site might not know the difference between connectors or brands and simply copy another listing. However, this can still cause confusion and problems.
We are the only authorized sellers of our brands (by W5SWL, W5SWL Electronics, CoaxParts, and Dave's Hobby Shop by W5SWL). If you see our products listed elsewhere and marked as "new," please note that it may not actually be our product. We do not have dealers, affiliates, or sanctioned drop shippers. If the item is marked as "used" or "open box," it may be a legitimate resale — and that's fine — but if it's sold as "new," something may be wrong, because you can only get "new" directly from us.
