My little boy wanted bull boy shoes and I ordered from what I believed was the official website but they have arrived and look awful, the edges have glue showing and looks absolutely awful. Please tell me if I’ve been scammed, I brought from this website:

shop.bullboys.it/shop/uk/391-autumnwinter-2022?gclid=CjwKCAjwgaeYBhBAEiwAvMgp2swvPfGksBm04w1p8_BzUhainFIa2lu_6ejGKiKIS5qez4QyoDlo8RoCTCQQAvD_BwE

ive contacted Lelli Kelli but they have been no help whatsoever. Bull boys are a brand of lelli kelli

Have you contacted the site you bought them from and ask to return them?

Hiphophippityskip1 · 27/08/2022 13:41

Sounds fake and that is a very basic diy looking website. Have you checked the address and numbers are legit and match up to those provided by LliKelli? and companies house for basic information? Take lots of pictures and ask for a refund and cc Lellikelli. Also email trading standards with your suspicions and photos. Have you pictures you can share of what you received?

Of course it's bloody fake

It's an Italian hosted website with UK being added purposely to the URL

How did you even look at that website and think it was legit? Confused

Given that the company are Italian, it's not that strange to see an Italian hosted website.

They’re an Italian company.

It’s what the URL redirects to.

Oh weird - this is what happens when you look up the shop.bullboys.it - I stand (sort of) corrected - does the scamadviser site redirect itself?!

I assume as a sub brand, it resolves to the main brand website eventually

brightnesses · 27/08/2022 19:56

Not being funny but how far down Google search did you go to find this website? I’ve typed in Bull Boys and can’t see this website at all.

The first one that came up was the real company www.bullboys.it/en/

The layout of the website you bought from looks so terrible, I don’t know how you thought this was legit

That's the same website as the link OP posted, just the main page.

QueenoftheNimbleFlyingCat · 27/08/2022 20:00

Brightnesses that is the same website?

PetitesVoix · 27/08/2022 20:01

The URL in the OP looks dodgy but I think it's real. All the google, facebook pages etc point to it. I remember when the Irregular Choice web shop thing looked like that - pretty basic. I'd probably see if you can go through their social media, op. It looks like you can buy them from other retailers which will have better established customer service in the UK.

brightnesses · 27/08/2022 20:07

Whoops apologies OP! It is the same website, you uploaded the ‘Shop’ link and I uploaded from the main page.

The layout still looks terrible but if that’s the official website which it looks like it is, contact them regarding the faulty shoes? It doesn’t seem as if you’ve been scammed. Sometimes companies have dodgy shoes here and there and will still send them out anyway.

You’ll definitely be entitled to an exchange or refund.

Hugasauras · 27/08/2022 20:09

Sounds like they are just faulty. Did you follow the procedure on the refunds/replacement page?

The shoes are more expensive on this site than the actual lelli kelli site aren’t they? If you are in the U.K.

www.bullboys.it/en/ - this comes up for me- no idea if legit.

Mental health link for some dodgy shoes?😂

ChangedNane11 · 27/08/2022 21:41

Yes it’s the official site. Just been confirmed! I’m not gonna post the pics as we’re gonna keep the shoes as my son won’t take them off. I’m so appalled by them tho. I won’t be buying again. They were £49 but I literally wouldn’t have paid more than £15 if I saw them in a shop,
