    It can never be stated enough times, ALWAYS look on Uggs Official site for authorised online retailers!

    There is a list of official registered Ugg retailers. There are a few that have good deals. I got my girlfriend some Ugg boots for £70 a few months ago for her birthday off one of those retailers, I don't remember which one but I had to check all of the URLs. Haha good luck.

    Keep up, that was post 7!

    I saw the UGG Australia logo and assumed that it was legit.... I know I’m an idiot for doing this and am happy to hold my hands up to that. Although I’m shocked that they haven’t been closed down if they are using the trademarked logo on their site?

    I brought the misses a holiday and wanted to get here something nice to open for her birthday as well... hasn’t worked out that way it seems.

    The amount and the merchant name on the transaction don’t actually provide any reference to the site/product; would it not be best to raise it as a dispute? In all honestly I don’t know whether the txn that has appeared on my account is even for the boots?

    If you want to avoid getting scammed in the future get the Web of Trust browser add-on.

    Any legitimate Ugg boot retailer would have a green (for safe) rating. Like Cloggs for example:

  • Thanks, that does make me feel a little better...
    Hi i ordered from the same site as you the other day and i still have not got a conformation email or tracking number. I emailed them and got a response the next day asking for my order number which i do not have as they never gave me one so now i'm really worried that they will be fake or wont come. Could you let me know how you get on thanks Laura.

    You cannot get cheap Classic Tall Uggs, which is what the majority of people are ordering from these sites. Even Martins bargain Classic Talls are £162.
  • Devils have you got the boots yet as i too have ordered from uggofficial.cc and im really worried now.

    He bought coutnerfeit goods from a site that he ought to have known was dodgy as anything.

    Sorry, I have no sympathy for people that support this sort of thing just because they think they are saving a couple of quid.

    In that case here's a novel thought... don't post on threads asking for advice if you have no advice nor sympathy? ;)

    Here's another one. Don't post on a public forum and expect everyone to give you tea & sympathy and to tell you everything you want to hear. :D

    Sorry, didn't realise you were the 'Advice Police'.

    Do I sympathise with people who know, or ought to have known, that they have bought counterfeit stuff and at the same time supported child or slave labour? Do I heck.

    Even if you buy from the the proper websites or stores you never no for sure if slave labour is involved. It was on watchdog last week that jane normans company has been using sweat rooms and slave labour.
