Ugg boots - advice needed!

Has anyone ever ordered ugg boots from a website called uggbootscheapuk .com? The prices look good for the boots I want - on ugg Australia's website they are $160 and on the uggbootscheap site they are £73.99. This doesn't se bad to me given the exchange rate but you know how the saying goes 'if it looks too good to be true it probably is!!!!

So if anyone has had any experience with the site I'd be very grateful to hear about it...

Thanks.

    The site was created on the 10th of August and they're Chinese so the boots are fakes and you'll probably get your credit card maxxed out.

    Avoid.

    If you wannt Ugg boots you'll have to buy the ones made by Ugg. If you just want looky-likey Uggs, M&S and BHS do cheap ones, as will your local market.

  • Well if your buying real ones (You probably are) then take some advice, go to the sites with the best reputation. We always get our ugg's (Every winter lol) from either Shudoo (google it) or our local shop. Shudoo also does other designers like birkenstocks and so on. Trust me THEY'RE REAL!!!!! Also on this website they had codes for 15% off which they might still have but google some voucher codes.

    If you were after genuine Ugg boots, you wont get them from that site OP.

    Ugg Austrailia (Deckers) the brand have the word "Ugg" protected when it comes to websites- they will not allow any brand, store or company using the word Ugg in the title (or URL) to sell their boots.
    They do have a website checker on their site (google Ugg Australia, Genuine or Authentic) but theres no point even looking up this one as I have already explained.

    I'll second that, Shudoo are great. I've had 2 pairs from them and they are 100% genuine, they are on the list of authorised suppliers.

    Avoid the website in the original post like the plague!

  • My wife has just told me that their is a way of seeing who is an authorised retailer for Uggs. Just go to

    uggaustralia.com/

    On the left, click on the link saying "Retail Stores" and then select "Authorized Online Retailers"

    This will give you a full list of everyone authorised to sell real Uggs

    Hope this helps

  • I got my daughters UGGs on M and m Deirect. My thinking was that the site sells geniune brands at a cheaper price. I didn't have to worry if they were cheap knock offs and they cheaper anyway.
