Do not order from www.uggstop.com the boots are cheap nasty fakes! unwearable! I paid £72 and thought I was getting a bargain. The site looks genuine, the boots in the pictures look lovely. What a shock when they arrived, the customs sticker on the parcel said the value of the contents was $5!!!!!!!! what a bloody cheek!
be warned and steer clear at all costs!

I was recently in Australia and was looking for stuff to buy for my kids. I though I'd buy some ugg boots from a market which is supposedly well governed from counterfeits. However, all the stands selling them claimed to be originals but they all had different soles, different UGG logos on the back... That old adage kept popping in my head - too good to be true! I decided not to buy them in the end..
From your point of view, the customs value is usually kept low to avoid you having to pay tax on the goods.. If they didn't put a value, they product would be inspected. If they put the true value, you would end up paying more in duty I'd suspect. Sorry for your loss of money - it bites!

I thought UGG was a style of boot, not a brand?? Therefore UGG boots can be sold by many different companies.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -

they marked the value down to save you customs.

I am NOT stupid!!! I know what the site says! It seems the mojority of you are missing my point? These boots are not made from 100% sheepskin! they are certainly NOT best quality! I know that UGG actually means "sheep skin" and that UGG is used as a designer name. BUT as I said.... if you saw these boots you would not pay £5 for them never mind £72!!!!! they are cheap nylon NOT sheepskin, the stitching is all over the place, the sole is plastic,cracked and bent rendering them unwearable. I take the point of them being marked down in value on the customs label to save cost BUT I can assure you all these boots are probably not worth more than 5$.
I never said I thought I was getting "UGG" boots??? I did think I was buying 100% top quality sheepskin boots!
Mrs E....How can you say "they are all genuine uggs"??? as I have said UGG means sheepskin......sheepskin is sheepskin and fake is FAKE!!!!!0 -

First off all, please dont reply like that, We are only trying to help you!
Now, you have 3 options:
If you paid by paypal, open a "Item not recieved" dispute
If you used a credit card, call your credit card company, ask them what they can doo for you
Tell the company you bought the products off, you never recieved them or they are not up to standered0
