    if they send the uggs to you via courier you will end up with a customs bill! I bought some tops from USA for £36 including shipping and ended up with a bill for duty, VAT and handling charged of almost £30!

    By Courier, i take it you mean UPS or Fed-Ex?
    Nope, they sent my Boots via USPS Priority service, which deliver using Royal Mail or Parcelforce.

    Even with me paying the customs fee, i still saved £££££.
  • SO this is definitely legitimate?

    Yep.

    They are an authorised UGG Australia retailer and i can definitely state that the UGGS i received are 100% genuine.
  • awesome. excluding customs ugg classics work out around £93 then... I have some friends who'll be rather happy with that!

    Supersaver i just added you to my xmas card list :o

    Ordered the tall classic type. Retail UK price £190

    I paid a total of £107 including postage using the 10% off code.
    Hopefully Korey will help with the customs bit, but even if i get a bill i'm still well in pocket compared to UK price.
    Paid by credit card via paypal.

    I will update this post when they turn up.

    Today is a good day!

    Now i have to hide them from the wife for the next few months :rolleyes:
  • Ooh, they've got Ugg Bomber Boots for $199. Normally they're about 200 quid!

    Can someone please explain the difference between Ugg boots and Emu boots?
    Or is it just brand and price -so you're essentially paying more for the Ugg name.

    Emu boots are great quality, I recommend the Emu stingers as they are waterproof, you are definitely paying for the name with UGGs. I bought my Emu stingers from Amazon and I am looking for a pair in chocolate now.
  • Er, as a long-time wearer of both Ugg and Emu Stingers, can I just say that they are not waterproof... Both resist water, both take a while for water to soak through to your toes, but soak they will.

    The only properly waterproof ugg type boot is the Celtic Sheepskin Aqualamb boot.
