I ordered a pair of Birkenstock sandals from what looked like a reputable site, and at a price that didn't seem too good to be true, but was probably lower that what ought to be true. The confirmation email even had a Birkenstock copyright on it. I received my parcel today and found inside, a pair of non Birkenstock shoes in a Birkenstock box - not even remotely the same style as I'd ordered and branded "ATTIX", which I've never heard of.
The seller has a return policy on their site, so I went to put them in the post (with a tracking number of course), only to find out it would cost 80 dollars to mail them back. Not worth it - I'd be out 80 bucks even if they refunded the 80 charged for my shoes.
Anyway, buyer beware with these guys, the more I read up on Chinese sellers of brand name things, the more I'm certain I won't be ordering form them outside of ebay, where at least I have some protection if things go wrong.
