    Sold by Oral B and "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon." Surely they're genuine?

    Many thanks, but I'd like to hear from people who have actually bought and used these.

    Oral-B is a brand, not the manufacturer (Braun) - and there are quite a lot of reviews from buyers who think they aren't the real deal.

    Not that cheap anyway, Superdrug often have these in 4 pack for about £8., you just have to wait for the offer.

    Thanks OP.

    Some of the reviews on Amazon query if these are genuine (and certainly the comment about 'packaging may vary from that shown' made me wonder).

    Anyone received theirs/able to comment with certainty, please?

    Can't comment myself as first replacement heads I've ever ordered (not received yet) and only looked at the reviews for the 8-pack which didn't seem too bad as you rarely get 100% positives anyway.

    I would be interested in what I need to look out for in regard to non-genuine products ie. packaging etc. as these are not for myself.

    Thanks

    Just received mine. They look just like the others I have. I would say genuine.
  • Mine have arrived now too and I believe mine are the genuine article.
  • Mine have just arrived and I believe them to be genuine. Great buy

    Thank you for pointing this out, peewhyeff :T

    http://www.tesco.com/direct/oral-b-precision-clean-refill-heads-5-pack/202-7307.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=202-7307&sc_cmp=pcp_GSF_Dental%20Care_202-7307&icid=spiffy_oral%20b%20heads_202-7307_oral%20b%20head

    This works out at roughly the same price of £1.83 per head.

    Oddly enough, it is showing as £12.25 on the Tesco Groceries website.

    There is currently a £2 coupon at Supersavvyme when you buy Oral B Replacement Heads from Tesco ONLY

    http://www.supersavvyme.co.uk/tag/coupon

    Have just tried it for online purchase but unfortunately this does NOT work for Tesco Direct, seems to be directed at tesco groceries as it is showing as £10.25 with the coupon off.

    Might be worth printing a coupon off and seeing what price these are instore?

    Can people report what price they find these at instore please

    I bought some genuine ones from Amazon a while back and they looked spot on the real thing - after a week though, the bristles would fall out while I was brushing my teeth. Now I buy them from Tesco/Boots as I know I am getting the real thing, I just wait until they are on offer. I would not even buy from a 'seller' or from someone on 'marketplace' as it seems anyone can sell on there and you never know whether you are getting real ones or fake ones.
