Looking for some GHDs for DD for christmas. Found this site and can't quite believe the offers.

They look like an official retailer and use pay pal so I figured they must be genuine but it just seems to good to be true.

Anyone know anything about them?

Be careful, google the site to see if there is any feedback.
Was only listening to a news item on the radio this morning about lots of websites being shut down for selling fake GHD's, Uggs and Tiffany jewellery. YOu either get fakes sent to you or nothing at all!

I have googled the site but can't find any feed back about it.

Hi

Here is the whois information on them they are based in NY and have a hotmail account so I would say fake try emailing them and see what reply you get.

By from a GHD Reseller that way you are covered, you'd never forgive youself if they were fake and had electical problems and harmed your DD

ghd website to check retailers

they come up as unknown on the ghd site, so i would be careful. Yes, they are the doler model, but still, I think they are too good to be true!

x-posts charlotteolivia!

haha!
there is a 'top list of fake sites' on the ghd site, and when you click on quite a few of them, they all have the same template layout, and prices.
if its too good to be true, then it probably is. sorry!!

If something is very cheap online it is likely the goods are counterfeit or you will recieve nothing.

BBC News has just run a story on the amount of fakes sold online warning people to be careful.

Thanks for your advice ladies.

I have bought them with a very reliable site I have used many times (Look Fantastic)and they are recommended by GHD- just don't want to take the risk!
