is best boot outlet a safe place to buy uggs?

Question

Is best boot outlet a good place to buy uggs? Are they real uggs? Is it just a credit card scam? Below is the link for the website:
http://www.bestbootsoutlet.co.uk/

Answer 1

100% scam.



That is a fake website pretending to sell cheap merchandise.



Any site that advertises merchandise cheaper than the official manufacture's website is a fake site shipping gosh awful crappy knock-offs or simply collecting cash and not even bothering to ship fakes.



The pictures on the site look like the real merchandise because those pictures ARE of the official merchandise. Those pictures were stolen from the official manufacture's website. If you receive anything at all, which is doubtful, it will not resemble those pretty pictures at all.



The payment options say it all, Western Union and moneygram. The credit card icons are just there for show, that site does not accept credit cards, only anonymous cash payments.



Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.



In all seriousness, when something goes wrong, what will you do? Send an email that is ignored and blocked? Send chat requests until you are ip banned? Call internationally and speak fluent Chinese?



The UPS, TNT and DHL icons are there only to take up space, that site only ships with EMS, the Chinese post office, good luck getting the "tracking number" they give you to work on the EMS website. You will need even more luck trying to contact EMS when your tracking stops and your "package" is lost somewhere.



You could then be really lucky, your "package" is discovered, seized by "customs" and all you need to do is pay even more money via Western Union or moneygram to the "custom's official" who uses a free email address just like that site has a free email address as its contact information.



Free email addresses are easy to open and close completely anonymously.



That site is NOT listed on the one official UGG website so it is definitely selling fake UGGs or simply collecting cash and not bothering to ship fakes.

Hello Awesomeness,



If you ask me personally, I will not do business with this merchant. Here are the reasons why:



1. The website don’t have ‘About Us’ page. We don’t know anything about the merchant’s profile/background. Yes, there’s a possibility that you might end up receiving your items from them, but the question of authenticity is yet to be figured out. Considering that there’s no information indicated on this website as to where will the items originate and the quality of the boots you will receive from them is still yet to be figured out also.



2. The only way to contact someone from this merchant is by sending them an email or ticketing system, based on their ‘Contact Us’ page http://www.bestbootsoutlet.co.uk/contact_us.html there is no assurance that someone will get back to you right away in case you’ll need immediate assistance from them. Although this is not alarming however, this is normally the trend for high risk websites as they can easily further the delay of answering your email.



3. The website’s ‘Privacy Section’ http://www.bestbootsoutlet.co.uk/privacy.html says: “We have instituted reasonable policies and security measures to protect the information you provide to us.” And what are those ‘Reasonable Policies’ and ‘Security Measures?’ Do you need to log in/register first before you can view them?



4. This website involves payment transactions. This will serve as your protection as a consumer from this merchant. But I don’t think they have TERMS & CONDITIONS (NOT Conditions of Use – it’s totally different from TERMS & CONDITIONS) or you need to be registered/logged in first before you can view them?



About the website’s particulars?



1. Out of the 203 million reputable domains currently listed in http://www.verify1st.com there’s NO RECORD found for the website http://bestbootsoutlet.co.uk we wouldn’t know its IDENTITY, REPUTATION & RELATIONSHIPS reports to help us determine whether this website is high risk or not.



2. According to an online risk detector site and domain research and monitoring website, the domain owner of bestbootsoutlet.co.uk is Kensmen Bnemsn. The domain was registered only last October 10, 2012. This shows that they have existed for a short period of time and hasn’t proven its worth yet in the business, so watch out!



3. With the given amount of time they have existed, a couple of online web review sites found no records of feedback/reviews for the website you’re concerned with. We wouldn’t determine its vendor reliability, trustworthiness, privacy & child safety ratings, so be vigilant at all times should you decide transacting with them.



4. Although the website is not currently blacklisted according to http://rbls.org/bestbootsoutlet.co.uk this is not an assurance/guarantee that the website is safe from transactions considering that the merchant is very new in the business and hasn’t built online reputation yet, so be very extra careful when dealing with them!



I hope this helps. Good luck!
