    Hi i want to buy a pai of real uggs and was going just to buy them in dub but then I found a website www.hartings.com.nz that sell them for 80 cheaper than office and that... Just wondering if anyone has bought from this website, if so would you recommend me to buy from them? :o

    you'll get caught for taxes and custom charges.

    in my experiences to have a guessimate of what they will cost add 25% on to the price of the item and shipping price.

    nope! i ordered from www.uggstop.com.au and they marked them as a gift, so no taxes or customs!

    op, go for that site- really great service, got them in under 2 weeks for about 112 euro incl shipping

    gifts can still get stung for tax and custom charges. it's unlikely but just dont think that you will not get caught.

    Just bought my uggs from them about three weeks ago. Didn't have to pay anything extra. It was exactly the price that was advertised. Nice prompt service.

    You may notice that your size/style/colour may not be available but if you email them, they can let you know when they will be.

    The Uggs are money well spent, mine have hardly left my feet since I bought them.

    Brilliant!

    thanks for that - the only thing I am worried about is getting the wrong size, I have read that you should get a size smaller but I think I will stick to my proper size

    would you not go to a place in ireland that sells them and try on the pair you're going to buy and see if they fit?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 101 ✭✭lilly07


    Yea thats what I want to do but have to drive bout an hour to get some where that actually sells them...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    dundrum from wicklow (assuming wicklow town) is 40 minutes from wicklow.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 101 ✭✭lilly07


    im 20 mins from wicklow town... :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 Nimi85

    no and the colours a weird looking, they are cheaper but i dont think i would not trust them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 Nimi85


    i agree. why send all the way to new zealand or qustralia for a fake pair when u could get a pair in penneys or dunnes for 20 quid? the real ones are the only way to go if ur buying online, unless there REALLY cheap!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 101 ✭✭lilly07


    yea with ug stop you are still paying over 100.00euro and your not getting the real thing... I wear the fake ones but I am going to iceland so i need the real ones to keep me warm and they look so much better when the done flop to the side... :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 Nimi85


    i have worn both and I honestly have to say the real ones are SO worth the extra cash. They last ages even if ya LIVE in them! Whatever about how they look, your paying for a high quality product.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 101 ✭✭lilly07


    this might sound stupid but is there much diff in the warmth...? I cant wait to get them now... just not sure what colour to buynow, sand or chestnut... ??:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26 buzzbuzzbuzz


    i got a pair from the hartings website and didnt get charged customs. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 101 ✭✭lilly07


    oh great, and would you recommend getting them from the website? also how long did they take to deliver?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,462 ✭✭✭HardyEustace


    With regard to uggstop, there was another thread about uggs either here or on weddingsonline and one of the posters had a pair that had gone to shreds after a few months. If you're paying €100 for them, I'd pay the extra €65 and get the decker uggs.

    With regard to colour, I got the chestnut colour and it is just gorgeous. While chestnutty, it's a pale golden chestnut if you know what i mean so you can get a hint of the "sand" colour! I'd definitely go for chestnut. If I could afford it, I'd get a pair in chocolate as well. Yummy!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    im going to new york next month so i'll be getting them over their. 130 dollars for the pair that are 195 euro over here. madness!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 Nimi85


    There is a HUGE difference in warmt. I dont think my feet have EVER felt cold in my uggs, and Im talkin bout walkin around town in the depts of winter! I took them to Italy with me sking and they were perfect.

    I got a pair when i was in New York for SO cheap. Think i paid 100 dollars for the tall chestnut ones! (they were on sale) Now i want a black pair and its SICKENING forking out the full price :mad:

    Definately get them off the hartings site... i paid about 160 for tall chestnut ones and they arrive in about a week and half and i love them....so comfy and warm. :)

    Im after buying some off bestuggseller.com im a bit wary ordered them a week ago. cost 61.80 in total and payment was to agricultural back of china. Few dodgy things about the site but just hope they come soon enough. Anybody heard of them or bought anything off them??:o

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 77 ✭✭CliodhnaB


    are they fake??? i made sure to look at the tag.. and all seemed fine. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,423 ✭✭✭tinkerbell


    Yes they are, if the site looks dodgy and it's not a reputable retailer then they are fake.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    I bought mine in Belfast last weekend and saved about €50. You would definately notice the difference between the real ones and the fakes. They are incredibly comfortable and have good support too. Still ugly as sin though!

    They often use pictures of real ones. Basically you won't get Uggs for less than e100. If you look at the site, you'll see all the security stickers are just pictures and aren't linked to be able to verify. Note on the top that 'My Account' is actually spelt 'My Accout'. I also went through the payment details and it links to http://pay.ips.com.cn/ipayment.aspx where you enter your credit card details. This isn't a secure site so I hope you paid by Paypal instead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 77 ✭✭CliodhnaB


    sh*t best cancel the credit card. i just noticed all those things. :mad: damit

    There is no way you got real uggs for €59 the tag looks a bit different to the pairs that i have and i know mine are real.Did you check to see if the site is listed on the ugg australia site??
    Fakes look identical to real ones down to the box and care booklets thats why its really important to do your research first.

    To be honest does it really matter if they're fake if they're identical to the real ones. Like when she wears them nobody is going to know the difference, and if she finds them comfortable then I think she wins both ways! And I don't think that the uggs last that long unless you take care of them. Like my first pair I got in an ugg shop in america (they were the short classic chestnut ones) and I literally lived in them for a few months over the winter and they're worn through. And my second pair I got from Nordstrom in America and I took much better care of them (sprayed them with the protector spray, didnt wear them in the rain etc) and they have lasted much longer ...
    So if she takes care of them I really don't think anyone will know the difference and on the plus she has saved over 100e!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,957 ✭✭✭Magenta


    Real Uggs don't have tags.

    Fakes are NEVER identical to the real thing.

    Hey CliodhnaB...am thinking of ordering a pair to! And just concerned about the size to choose. How did you get on with the size?
    Thanks

    Well regards the tag, mine are the same as my friends real ones. The tag in the inside is also the same.
    for €59 if they are fakes there pretty dam good!

    I personally think there prob the rejects that there selling for half nothing. probally a wrong stitching or something stupid. But as i said before there identical to My friends Real ones so i can see no wrong. Regrads size i just got my normal size. Which fit perfect. But just to be sure use paypal and dont give credit card details. we have a new credit card now so im gunna pay using paypal wen i buy a new pair for christmas! :D

    For info - UGG Australia is US sizing, not UK.

    ^^^ Fake..Real Ugg Australia Uggs dont have a swing tag.

    Just had a look at some Tiffany jewellery on that site $6 for a necklace LOL

    Hi all,
    Came across this website in my search to buy Ugg boots online: Mod Edit: Removing Link - Offical UGG website says "No"

    Have my doubts whether their the real deal on the site or not and don't want to purchase until 100% sure. Don't want to be scammed. And don't want siblings disappointed as this is supposed to be a christmas gift. Checked out the official ugg authorised online dealers & it's not listed there or doesn't come up as an official website - may be counterfit.

    Has anyone purchased uggs off this website? Was it what you saw on the screen when it arrived in the post if it arrived at all!?
    Thanks:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,469 ✭✭✭Pythia


    I think you know what the answer is gonna be. Yes, they are fake. Only buy from sites listed on the official website. Sorry!

    Do not buy from that site, you will definitely regret it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 744 ✭✭✭leesmom


    what about asos.com? theyre not listed as a retailer, are they fake?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭barleybooley


    I actually think they are the real deal OP, I'm looking at mine here and comparing with pics on the site and even the fluffiness of the sheepskin on the inside looks like the real ones. The label on the back is the right size, colour and font from what I can tell. Don't know about buying them from a site that isn't reputable though, that'd be my only qualm. If they're fake, they look really convincing!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,729 ✭✭✭Acoshla


    Hiya,

    Just in case you're not too pushed about Uggs in particular I buy a brand called Bearpaw, same general idea as Uggs, the only difference I find is that the suede on the outside of Bearpaws isn't as soft and therefore can take a bit more abuse than Uggs. I was just checking out websites last night and you can get them sent from the US for about 65 euro, I bought them in Canada before for $80, I love them and would always choose them over Uggs, just throwing the option out there :)
