cheap uggs = fake uggs. you can't get cheap uggs and have them be real. the real thing can cost from £100 - £200 depending on retailer and style.
They can be got from several places - treds.co.uk, kurtgeiger.com, schuh.co.uk, soletrader.co.uk, asos.com, harrods.com, selfridges.com, harveynichols.com, johnlewis.com, houseoffraser.co.uk

the real ones are worth the money - i still have my first pair from 3 years ago! and they get alot of abuse, dog walking, wearing them 24/7 in winter....

very professional looking site

the site is a simple cheap looking ecommerce template with their details hidden in the whois search and agmail email address which is hard to locate on the site

they seem to just use the UGG Australia logo for their site which they are trying to pertain they are UGG Australia, which as UGG have never heard of this site it is a 100% fake site, which has been reported to Deckers Outdoor Corporation who own the UGG brand.

And you are absolutely right to think that.

Did you make this comment in response to my earlier post?

If so, then I can only assume that you didn't read the article I linked to.

Go back and read it right through to the end... particularly the bit about debit card chargeback schemes.

However, as I said earlier, that may not work but certainly worth asking the question of your bank though, isn't it?

Another person making wrong assumptions with regards to Ugg Boots.

Ugg is a style of boot not a brand. Therefore anyone can sell a boot in the Ugg style therefore they are not fake.

What are probably fake is if your looking for cheap Ugg Australia boots.

According to wiki

There has been a dispute between some manufacturers of ugg boots, as to whether "ugg" is a protected trademark, or a generic term and thus ineligible for trademark protection. Deckers Outdoor Corporation holds the UGG trademark in 145 countries worldwide. Notable exceptions are Australia and New Zealand where the term is considered generic.

It even states that, in a few places (most recently, Turkey) the trademark has been challenged and the court has found in favour of Deckers.
