Normally, you shop online looking for things that are either sold out, not sold in Kuwait, or simply to get the deal of a lifetime. Unaware of the risks that involve online shopping. Have you ever asked yourself if the site you're shopping from is trust-worthy or not? How come there is no "About us" section on the website? Why is COD is the only form of payment? How come there are no contact numbers or a physical address of the office/Co.?One of my readers copied me on an e-mail sent to the owner of a Kuwaiti online shopping site called 7ata7eet.com. She was furious when she found out that the UGGS which were sold on 7ata7eet.com were actually fake based on her research.
Dear 7ata7eet,
Thank God I did my research before purchasing. You will find below 2 links detailing how you can tell the difference between a real UGG and a fake.My friends who bought from you, who I've CCed on this email, don't have the ® after "UGG" on the bottom of their shoes. Additionally, it would explain why my friend who wears a size 40 and bought the shoes from you found the shoe to run a bit small. The fake one runs small as you can see from the links below.

The authentic click here

I'm not bashing the owner of 7ata7eet.com, after all, it is a personal choice to sell and profit from unauthentic goods. And some people don't mind buying such goods. But I think any shop owner should have at least the decency to state if the goods are authentic or not (A Birkin sold for KD 150?!). And "if" the UGG boots were really authentic, we would appreciate it if the owner could back it up with some facts and proofs of authenticity just to clear things out and be fair to all.

i bought 2
you cant click on the damn thing if you want to order it! and now you say its a replica online ;s
thanks for the warning
directly send a letter to UGG!!
I'm sure you can get your money back because you can file a case/complaint against her. She's unauthorized and a fraud. Her business should be shut down!
There is one easy way to know if a site is credible or not, does it have a payment gateway? Why? Because the only way to get a payment gateway through one of the banks here is if you have a "Rikhsa" for a store(commercial license). So, if they dont have it, it means they are either fakes, or they are buying them from shops and re-selling them, they are not buying them directly from the designer. The only fashion sites I know of in Kuwait that are licenced are MyPinkmoon.com and Pretasouk.com
