Before you pay, protect your money+

Safe, you can get it back

  • Credit card
  • PayPal Goods and Services
  • Escrow (money held until goods arrive)
  • Letter of Credit (for large orders)

Risky, gone for good

  • Bank wire to a personal account
  • Crypto
  • Western Union or MoneyGram
  • Gift cards

If a supplier only accepts methods you cannot reverse and refuses card or escrow, that is the number one scam signal. Walk away or use escrow.

The bank account name must match the registered company name. If it does not, stop.

For a first order, use an independent escrow service so the supplier is paid only after you receive the goods.

About

Michell & Cía. is Peru's oldest and most respected alpaca fiber processor, founded in Arequipa in 1931 by Frank W. Michell as an alpaca sorting and export business. Today the company operates as the world's leading producer of alpaca combed tops and spun yarns, supplying luxury fashion houses, knitwear manufacturers, and yarn retailers across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. Michell's product range includes baby alpaca, suri alpaca, huacaya alpaca, and blended yarns for hand and machine knitting as well as woven fabric production. The company's four-generation track record, quality certifications, and traceability programs from fleece to finished yarn make it the reference supplier for buyers requiring verified provenance and consistent quality at scale.
