Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding the OZAPATO Direct-to-Consumer business model.
What does Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) mean in safety footwear?
Direct-to-Consumer means OZAPATO designs, manufactures, and sells industrial safety boots directly to companies and individuals without third-party distributors or retail stores.
How does D2C allow OZAPATO to offer lower prices without reducing quality?
Traditional footwear brands spend up to 60% of the retail price on distributor commissions, retail mall rents, and middleman profits. By eliminating these costs, we invest in premium certified materials while keeping prices low.
Can corporate clients order in bulk with fleet discounts?
Yes! We offer tiered B2B corporate pricing, trial sizing runs, tax invoicing, and direct nationwide dispatch for industrial fleets and corporate buyers.
How does warranty support work under the D2C model?
Because you buy directly from us, warranty claims are handled immediately by our factory customer service team with a 4 to 6-month replacement guarantee on manufacturing defects.
