Sorry if this has already been posted but Shudoo have the classic cardy jacaranda (blue) in the sale for £75, which is £60 delivered with the 20% off code. They only have 3.5, 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 so no use to me but may help someone else.

thank you for this -I am usually a 5, but can get away with 5.5 and with the voucher £60 all in! cheers :beer:

I have lurked and read what feels like a million posts and looked at all the options, and I have finally ordered genuine tall black Uggs from Shudoo with 20% discount, for £152 delivered. I figured the genuine articles would be best quality, and I would wear them with confidence, knowing they are the real thing - cant wait for delivery now!

Hey everyone, I usually lurk around the forums looking for deals and rarely post, but I had to post a WARNING for fellow buyers and buyers of Ugg Boots.

Yesterday I visited my local TK MAXX store in Northamptonshire. It was at around 9:30, so when I spotted TWO pairs of Ugg Australia Classic Short boots at £59.99 each, I was amazed and felt quite proud that I had gotten there before anyone else found them. I bought the Chocolate brown pair immediately. I pondered over the other pair for a couple of hours and asked my mother to pick up the other pair for me, a black pair.

When I took them home I was really pleased, I checked the Ugg Australia official site to see how much I had saved only to find the chocolate brown Ugg boots had a chocolate brown sole to match the colour of the boot. My pair had a tan sole. I search around for a long time trying to find out if these were the real deal. I found out alot of ways to tell if your Ugg boots are real and they seemed spot on, apart from the sole.....and the fact there was no sizing or care label tag on the inside. Nevermind I thought, they must have taken it out and that's why they were cheap. I also found that Chocolate brown used to have a tan sole until June/July 2007.

I phoned my mother to ask about the black pair as I hadn't collected them yet. I asked her if they had a tag. Sure enough they had a tag. I asked her if the tag said "made in china". She said "nope, it's ok, they said made in Australia". This sent alarm bells ringing as I was quite sure that Ugg Australia boots were now only made in china, and a tag that says Australia/New Zealand, turned out to be fakes. I was shocked, so I ran over to my mothers house to further inspect the black pair, expecting her to be wrong.

These boots were awful, they were light, cheap, the material was thin, the fur on the inside was bobbly. The sole fur (supposed to be cream in all of the colours regardless of the colour of the fur in the inside leg area) was black. The design on the underside of the sole was all wrong. The toe of the boot was flat to a point, instead of the rounded look. This is the standard look of a fake. The tag on the inside was not woven, but a thin scrunched up printed tag. There was glue all around these shoes, and the sole was rigid when pressed (taking the toe area and the heel in each palm of your hand and pushing together) instead of the flexible rubbery feel of the real deal. The boots, supposedly sheepskin, said 'wool' and had no smell.

The labels on the heels of both boots were wonky, something I hadn't spotted in my haste to buy the first. Upon closer inspection of the brown boots, there were errors in the lining up of the binding (the rim).

I would still say that the brown pair were 100% real if it wasn't for the very bad construction of the black boots (and the fact there was no tag).

All in all I am completely sure that TK MAXX sold me at least one pair of FAKE Ugg Australia Boots. I have since taken them back, and wondered if they had such a low price because they were trying to get rid of them quickly. What struck me as odd was that these shoes didn't have the RRP on the tag like the others I have seen for sale in there at close to full price (£140) did. When I returned the boots today, the lady didn't even question me about why I thought they were fake, or to try and say that thier stock had been bought by a reputable source. In fact she didn't say anything, just gave me my money back.

I will now either completely avoid all designer items, expecially bags and other high priced designer items, as I am not sure how to tell if they are real or not. I only really shop in Tk Maxx for thier homeware.

I know £60 is cheap for Ugg boots, but for these particular boots, it was at least £50 too much.

Sorry for the long post, I just didn't know where else to put this and wanted others to be aware of what can happen, even in a big highstreet chain. If anyone knows who I should contact about this, to make sure that Tk Maxx cannot allow another customer to buy fakes, whether Tk Maxx knows or not, i'd appreciate it very much. Alternatively, if there is a more appropriate place to post this, point me in the right direction

Thanks to you both for your replys - I've emailed the seller telling her not to post and that I've opened a dispute in paypal !

I swear I am never using Ebay to buy anything over £20 ever again after being ripped off twice on bloomin Iphones recently too ...

I'll just have to hope that shudoo reduce the Cardys again soon or save up for the gorgeous Argyles from the Ugg site lol.

I'll be back to check for legitimate bargains lol

That's a shame you've been ripped off so much on e-bay. I have sold a lot on e-bay and even sold a mobile phone for over £100 and I'm totally genuine. It's a shame as there are genuine people selling on e-bay and obviously many non-genuine people. Pay pal is a safe way of paying however and you should be refunded no problem from them. Hope you get it settled.

Has anyone bought UGGS from www.uggbootsalec.com a neighbour has asked me to look for some Ugg boots for her.I`ve found what she wants, long grey boots for £49 but don`t know the site etc .Thanks

nuttywoman, yesterday I read somewhere, after a lot of googling that UGG Australia told an enquiring customer, that any website with the word UGG in the web address, except the official website, claiming to sell the UGG Australia boots, is most certainly a fake website.

That site you posted seems to show the pictures that used to be on the official site of genuine UGG Australia boots (the style has changed slightly of the sole so these have been updated). They could have taken the pictures to make them look like an authentic site.

Either way, they are way too cheap to be real suppliers. The wholesale of these boots does not allow such a margin of profit, which is why you don't see them on sale very often at authorized retailers (like Office, who usually exclude them from any promotion) and when you do, they aren't discounted by that much.

Unfortunately the genuine people on ebay are now few and far between:rolleyes: I've sold a little on ebay but not much, everything totally genuine(also including expensive mobile phone) and always describe accurately as i would hate to be ripped off so wouldnt do it to other people! Ebay is now full of scammers and con merchants and i tend to stick with sellers i know now.

Thanks Mrs H ,

I'm still unsure - this pic from the schuh probably better illustrates the button concern ... it's when the top is folded down , 'real' ones have small buttons on the back of the large ones

oh yeah, totally see it now!

ha ha .. it's like a spot the difference competition! :rotfl:

reckon they're definitely fakes!
