buctootim Posted 3 November, 2010 Share Posted 3 November, 2010 Any ideas how i check a sites authenticity? the site in question is http://www.uggs-shop.com/ seems very cheap to me! The the wife and the eldest daughter want new Uggs and this site looks almost affordable, just dont want to be scammed! Looks like knockoffs to me. The language they use on their site is deliberately intended to confuse, making it look like the official site. But if you read carefully...... We believe true Ugg boots should be UGG Australia, with authentic Australian A grade sheepskin! You can now get these amazing boots direct from our Australian Factory right here! Watch us at work! Our aim is for the entire world to experience our amazing boots! Here at uggs-shop we are serious about selling real Ugg boots at great prices to people all over the globe. Our product is hand made in China using 100% natural sheepskin which is tanned in our own tannery. We have been working with sheepskin since the 70's and only recently has the world found out about these great Australian boots. We take our product and service very seriously and try to make the experience a relaxed and enjoyable one...the true Australian way. We have a fantastic new warehouse which stocks all our products and a dedicated team to customer service and order management, to ensure you get your boots in a timely manner.

Baj Posted 4 November, 2010 Share Posted 4 November, 2010 they are fake. Sad to say I know a lot about sheepskin slippers and boots, mainly because I run one of the biggest sites in the uk for sheepskin slippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 5 November, 2010 Share Posted 5 November, 2010 and be careful with sites that say "no sales tax" and then say that they are shipping from Australia. You might get a bill, Duty and VAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted 5 November, 2010 Share Posted 5 November, 2010 "2) Websites with UGG in the name In Aug 2009 UGG® Australia issued an explicit conterfeit warning on their official website. To summarise: Any website’s domain name (thats the bit before the .com or .co.uk) that has the three letters ‘ugg’ in it, is not selling UGG® Australia brand. For example the website uggbootsforsale.com is therefore not legit because it has UGG in the domain name. This nows covers 90% of the sites you might be concerned about however we are not done quite yet some sites are even more shameless and use the legal name UGG® Australia and have a domain name without UGG in it." Definitely fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
