# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Have questions about our wellness products, shipping times, or anything else? This FAQ should answer most things, but if you can't find what you're looking for, just send us a message on [Live Chat or email us](https://wellbefore.com/pages/contact-us).

## I. About Us

- **“How long has your company been around?”**  
  Our family is in this business because we saw a huge need for transparency and affordable products. [WellBefore](https://wellbefore.com/) (formerly HonestPPE Supply) was a concept tested "offline" in February of 2020 with B2B customers and became an e-commerce portal for everyday customers shortly after. We have sold and shipped hundreds of thousands of products as of May 2020, especially to first responders, non-profits, police forces, essential workers, dentists, and more.

## II. Discounts

- **“Do you offer discounts to first responders, schools, front-line workers and non-profits?”**  
  Yes, absolutely! Upon entering our website you will be offered a 5% discount. If you run into any trouble, please reach out to our support team for assistance.

## III. Manufacturers

- **“Who are your manufacturers and where are they based?”**  
  We work with different local and international suppliers. Please reach out to support for specific products.

## IV. MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)

## V. KN95 Product Details and Information

- **“What's the difference between N95 and KN95?”**  
  N95 masks are the US standards for respirator masks; KN95 masks are the Chinese standards. Both consist typically of several layers of a polypropylene plastic polymer and are designed to be worn over the mouth and nose secured by straps. Both filter out at least 95% of tiny 0.3-micron airborne particles, making them effective for germ protection. Check this [comparison sheet from 3M](https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1791500O/comparison-ffp2-kn95-n95-filtering-facepiece-respirator-classes-tb.pdf) for exact differences. Below are each country's code for standard masks:
  - The N95 is the USA Code.
  - The KN95 is the Chinese code.
  - The DS is the Japanese code.
  - The [KF94](https://wellbefore.com/products/kn95-mask-3d-style)/KMOEL is the Korean code.
  - The FFP2 is the European Union & United Kingdom code.

- **“Why do the KN95 seem to have holes in them?”**  
  Those aren't holes—they're where the mask's fabric layers are fused together with heat, creating a strong seal while still allowing comfortable breathing.

- **“Tell me more about the thickness level for the masks?”**  
  Our efficient design achieves over 95% filtration with a comfortable, breathable thickness. Thicker masks can be harder to breathe through and heavier to wear, especially for all-day use.

- **“Do your KN95 masks really have 95% filtration?”**  
  According to lab results from our manufacturers, our KN95 masks have filtration above 95%. Contact us through [Live Chat or email](https://wellbefore.com/pages/contact-us) to see the results.

- **“How long do you recommend wearing the KN95 masks?”**  
  The masks are suggested for one-time use, disposable. Please see the [CDC's recommendations](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html) for usage.

- **“Why do your KN95 masks say they’re for 'non-medical use'?”**  
  In the US, FDA-approved manufacturers cannot claim "for medical use" on packaging unless they have specific FDA approval. China restricts exports with "for medical use" labeling unless the factory is on the CDC Appendix A list. If you see KN95 masks with FDA or CE logos claiming "for medical use" from other vendors, be cautious—they might be counterfeit.

## VI. FDA Approved or Registered

- **“Are your face masks FDA and CE-approved or registered?”**  
  Our manufacturer for [KN95](https://wellbefore.com/products/kn95-disposable-fda-ce) and [3-PLY](https://wellbefore.com/products/disposable-3-ply-face-masks) masks is FDA-registered. We can provide documents upon request through email. For FDA-registered manufacturers, they cannot claim "for medical use" on packaging until approved by the FDA. Our newest [N95 masks](https://wellbefore.com/products/n95-medical-mask-fda?variant=19946170679425) are NIOSH certified.
