GHD Straighteners super cheap

Options
Has anyone ordered GHD straighteners from https://www.luxuryhairstraighteners.co.uk as they are selling them at massive discounts and it seems too good to be true??

Any input appreciated :)

    The contact us is a hotmail email address so I wouldn't touch with a barge pole

    You know what they say. If it seems to good to be true it probably is. There are plenty on here who will tell you what is wrong (or right) with the website etc. I have to say a Hotmail email address doesn't ring quite true for me. I could be wrong though. And I'm not a GHD fan.

    Always worth checking on the GHD website

    Prices do look too good to be true, so I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole either! Depending on what you are looking for, you can usually find a decent offer somewhere from a legit place

    Clues:-

    1. A .co.uk website address but shipping is via Hong Kong Air Mail;
    2. Poor English - "They can get better ways to play with their hairs and flaunting a distinguished style statement."
    3. Put website address in GHD official site comes back with 'Caution, unknown retailer'.

    Avoid at all costs.

    Well they could be genuine but all the signs point to dodgy and if they are genuine then they're doing themselves a big disservice. As others have said, a Hotmail email address isn't a good sign although not 100% sign of a scam but when you combine it with the UK domain registered to a fictional US address, the lack of any trading address, company details, owner information, proper contact info, lack of any company registration or even a proper returns policy then I personally wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

    I'd suspect that if you got anything at all, it would likely be fakes or refurbished, usually with cheap fake chinese parts.
