Does anyone know whether this website is official - can't find any disclaimers to say that the goods are not authentic? Thanks

Yes I have a had a quick look on the net with some reviews, site seems fine. Might just be worth waiting for someone else to say that too, just to be safe.0

This is the link to the sale that I got in a recent email. Seems to be LinksofLondon.com. In fact I've just had a look at the Links of London online site you mentioned, no way would I say that was genuine Links, not at those prices;)0 -
Unfortunately, I've already ordered some items. Guess, I will just have to wait and see what they're like when they arrive. It does say can return items, so will send back if can tell replicas. I did go onto the site last night and chat with an online agent who confirmed that the items are 100% authentic, but I guess, just won't know until they arrive?!
Thanks for taking the time to have a look for me.0 -
There was another thread on this on grabbit and in the t&cs on the fake website it states that all items are replicas and none are associated with any of the real brand names if you search grabbit you will find it.0

Having previously bought an 'un-official' bracelet, one thats actually selling on this site, you cannot tell the difference, and i wore mine out on Friday night and i was complimented all evening on it's appearance!
I too have seen this site and will wait impatiently to see if you receive your goods or not, as i was nervous about paying by paypal. Not that- that is the problem, but usually a cosher business would let you pay by using your card direct with the visa secure service! even the use of western union money transfer had alarm bells ringing!
But good luck and please leave a note on your delivery! at those prices its a steal and i would not worry about them not looking authentic or not as iv seen loads and iv never seen a bad one!0 -

I ordered a bracelet on Thursday too, wish i saw this thread before i pressed the "pay now" button!
Anyay, i aleady have an authentic bracelet and it would be interesting to see the difference...My only worry is that i never recieved a confirmation of purchase or whatever it's called, from this online shop!!! Im quite gutted with the whole communication thingy, it's really bad. First off, they dont list their phone numbers, and it takes ages for them to reply on that "live chat" facility. On the website, it states that items are normally dispatched within 12-48 hrs...So, it's been more then 48hrs for me and nada!!! I still havent received a tracking number. I will definitely keep you guys posted 'coz i dont want other people make the same mistake...I cant believe i actually fell for it...I dont expect it to be authentic, not at that price...Actually, when i first came across that website, i thought it was the ACUTAL "links of london" site (silly me) and i couldnt believe my eyes when i saw that the bracelet that i bought a year ago for more then a 100£, now costs like 32£, i was so shocked! Well, it turns out that i actually bought an authentic one and God knows what this one is going to look like...

You will be protected with paying through paypal though if things dont turn out right. I called paypal last night to see if this was a verified business account, but the cant give out this information, but she did say i would get my money back if i dont receive goods as long as i open a dispute. If you use ebay you will be familiar with this process!
If you paid by paypal you must have had a receipt from them confirming that monies have been debited from your bank account! you can check online at all times with your paypal account. I'm nervous about ordering though, but as soon as i know someone who has actually received the goods, i will place an order, as iv seen counterfeight 'links' and the lok amazing! Good luck let me know please.
P.s. remembr if you ordered over the weekend, it wont count till the next working day!0 -
I ordered mine on 17.07.09 and have received confirmation emails and a tracking number. This is what made me suspicious, as when I tracked with parcel force on Saturday - it said it had arrived at Heathrow from China!! Still nor arrived with me as yet though......think I may see if I have any rights with paypal0
