to think I have just been screwed by this website

[RedTartanLass]

This company I ordered a a pair of Uggs at the end of December and was concerned that they hadn't arrived, but on checking my bank statement it seems a company called WWW.BOOTSALE-UK.COM took the money, an obviously foreign company.

I should have spotted the customer services email address was a gmail account

I buy everything off the internet, can't remember the last time I went into a bank or electrical shop, so to be burnt once in all those years I suppose is not too bad. I can only blame my "post-Christmas shopping for a bargain hysteria" for not checking out the website properly!

YANBU.

Radio 4 did a feature on Fake Ugg Boots last month:

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8392600.stm

That company you linked has an aussie website address, therefore "foreign". What delivery estimate did they give you? It is fishy that the address was a gmail one. How did you pay? if by paypal you may be able to get it back.

According to this website who.is/whois/uggsale.com.au/ the site is based in China - so yep, they're fakes. But it could just be a "delayed in post" thing.

Yes just checked the whois website and it is a Chinese company. What an idiot!!!! Well can kiss those Ugg bye bye their in customs now, thanks for link Pikelit. No I payed through my bank, however have just had old card cancelled as it had been clone!!! Think I can see a connection somewhere Oh well consider that a lesson learned RTL!! Sad thing is, the compnay is still first on googel search!

Good grief what happenned to my spelling! X post silkhorse. Should maybe have checked the site before I ordered eh?

well - if it sounds too good to be true...

shit for you though.

You may find this thread on money saving expert interesting.

Don't wear Uggs you will look like a bogan and every Australian you meet will be secretly sniggering at you.

Not caring about Austrainas laughing at me , but oh my word don't want to look like a ned. T'is a slippery slope next I'll be eating in Greggs, drinking fruit shoots, and posting in txt speak!!

So should I post on a style thread???

Oh dear - how much did you pay OP?

I sympathise. I've just been duped by a phone company telling me my contract was up & would I like a super-dooper new one: new phone, trillions of minutes, unlimited landline calls & unlimited texts. Assumed it was Carphone Warehouse (never assume!), accepted offer. Now have new phone & don't even like it. My old contract doesn't finish till JUNE. To make things worse, I've now lost the scrappy piece of paper sales invoice that came with it, so can't send the stupid thing back because I no longer have the shyster company's address. Go Mobile in Swansea, anyone know it?

Red, sell your sovies to one of those cash for gold places and get you some real Uggs .

UPDATE!!!!
They arrived today!!! Can you beleieve it and they look amazing. They're boxed in Ugg box, wiht bag and tags and care advice etc etc!!! How can you spot fakes?

Buying them from a Chinese website is a big clue.
