    hey lads, not sure if this is the right place to ask this...but how can someone check if a website is genuine or not before purchasing with them? this site shoes4beauty.com looks ok and is offering unreal deals but i cant be certain that i trust them. Anyone know how to check to be 100% ? Thanks lads. Liam

    Its hard to say really, a quick whois on the domain shows it was registered on the 29th of September gone, not very long..

    Google shows alot of people asking the same question as yourself, on yahoo answers quite recently. Some woman there said she ordered some shoes but hasn't got them yet.

    I'd steer clear, till you can get some more information

    i would be on the cautious side alright man, not gonna touch them with a barge pole unless i am 100% confident, and nothing on that site fills me with confidence. Especially not when they say they have jimmy choos for $112!!!!

    If - IF - as they claim they are paypal registered and IT IS the real paypal service you pay through, at least you have some comeback through Paypals customer resolution service.

    Just also be weary of knock-offs existing!

    Well if you have your suspicions, I know they would appreciate any concerns you might have and they would probably be grateful for any warnings about possible sites that might be on the dodgy side,
    By you contacting them, you raise their attention to something they might not want to be involved with but might have slipped through their own checking procedures, if any!

    There's no physical address anywhere on the site that I can find and it doesn't say where they deliver from. It may be registered and hosted in the US but that doesn't guarantee much.

    From some Googling of the shoe models, there's also quite a few clones of this site, some in China and some with the same WHOIS info as shoes4beauty.com and none with physical addresses or proper shipping info.

    Very stinky.

    Avoid.

    Lads, thanks a million (or at least 130 Quid) for all the help. Very much appreciated. Not gonna go near them.
    Thanks again.
