As a breed society focussed on welfare and good practice BAS is always trying to find ways to ensure every Alpaca is sold with as much useful information and back up as possible.
BAS are proud to announce our new initiative designed to promote correct welfare and selling practice “The Trusted Alpaca Seller Scheme”
The scheme is designed to deliver a verified sales system for all BAS members and their customers. The voluntary scheme has a set of standards that all members can sign up to, which represent good ethical selling practice. The scheme is operated free of charge to BAS members and provides a benchmark for all to work to.
Every member can join the scheme, it will be administered free of charge by BAS and compliance will be verified by random “mystery shopper” type checks. Templates of required documentation are available in the members area (documents section) but you can, of course, use your own providing the correct information is included. Terms and conditions are also in the members area.
