Customs have seized fake goods

My DS bought a pair of Ugg boots from uggretail.com on 2/12/08 for around £70.
If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Lots of people are getting shafted with fakes. The only genuine importer into the UK is AMG (tel. 0844 8110535), they will give you a list of approved sellers (online & instore) in the UK.0 -
Problem with HM Customs is they have very stringent powers, and in the case of fakes they have various international trade agreements to up hold, and obviously the safety of the public in mind. Did you know that HM Customs have more powers than the Police, and can enter your home with out notice, as they have a standing entry warrant that dates several hundred years.My Mind wanders, if found please return.0
