Buying Uggs online - advice please.

There are lots of websites with Uggs at the moment for around £65 per pair (tall ones). This is around half the cost of the shops, but I am a bit nervous of ordering a pair in case they are copies, because I read recently that the marketplace has been swamped with copies.

Has anyone ordered a pair online for around this cost, and can confirm that they are genuine Uggs?

I really would appreciate any help/advice.

Thanks

try www.australian-uggs.com. If the address has uggs.co.uk in it, it is a fake site. There is no possible way you can purchase a genuine pair of uggs for £65.00. A friend of mine bought a pair, and they were impounded at customs in china. She eventually got them, but they are not genuine uggs. For under £60, though, they're not bad.
A pair og genuine uggs will usually cost approx £180. Do remember that ugg is the generic name for a pair of sheepskin boot, not the brand name. Emu is a brand name, and are sold on QVC. They are genuine and a little cheaper than those with ugg stitched into them.
Caveat emptor.

I was after some Emus, not Uggs, but found a website selling them for around £90, which was apparently a fake website... I'd be VERY wary of anywhere selling them for that price!

I got my mens Ugg Classic short boots from Office, reputable retailer and very fast delivery even over Christmas. They also do them in women's sizes I think, but haven't looked.

The Ugg Australia website has a list of authorised online reatilers here.

I don't think you'll find genuine Ugg boots for much under the price on the 'official' site. I know how you feel, I want some too

Especially in this blinking weather!

I bought mine in the USA and they were about half the price you pay here, and from an authorised retailer.

I realise after looking at the official website - thanks for the link - that I'm going to have to pay around £135-£200 for a pair.

Thank you all for your help. I shall have to save up for another couple of weeks

As I say, try Office - they were really good.
