uggcanada.ca Online Shopping Guide
5 ways to spot websites you should avoid
The Problem
Shopping for uggcanada.ca online these days can be a pretty confusing task. There are uggcanada.ca from UGG , n Ugh boots, Ug boots “made in ”, off-brands, knock-offs, and “fake” Uggs, just to get started. Worse than the confusion over brand or manufacturing differences though is trying to sort through the online landscape to find someplace to purchase your UGGs without them sending you fakes or even just ripping off your credit card information. Every year people are taken in by websites claiming to sell “real Uggsbootssales made in ” or something similar. Don’t believe me? Just do a search in Google for “UGG complaint” and look at what’s out there. Everything from simple misunderstandings about a brand to people who make their orders and never get their products, only to find the offending websites gone after the season never to be heard from again. Shopping online is hard enough without throwing in the temptations of easy money from something as popular as UGGs. The fact that most UGG related fraud takes place around the holidays, taking advantage of peoples gift-giving good will, only makes it worse. How can you tell if a site is trustworthy or not? In the next few pages we are going to show you exactly that.
For the sake of argument let’s make the assumption that you are looking for “Authentic Uggs boots from UGG ”. They are the brand that made the name famous. For about a decade whenever someone mentioned Uggsbootssales they were really talking about the UGG brand. Even today one brand stands out above all the rest in terms of quality, fashion, and comfort, and that brand is UGG . Starting there then, lets go through the steps a typical consumer would take to try and buy a pair of UGGs online.
The average person most likely starts by firing up their computer and heading on over to what is probably the most visited website on the planet: Google. Since we don’t all know how to use the more advanced search features let’s assume that we simply enter the word “uggs” into the search bar. The results you get might be a little shocking, so before we get too far lets simply take a general look at what Google gives us. I have color-coded the image below to further illustrate what we are looking at.
|
First off let’s address all the red on the page. Red is usually not a good thing and in this case that holds true. All the results circled in red lead to sites I would consider suspicious at best and completely fraudulent at worst. You should note that all the red results on the pictured page are actually paid ads with very few of them ever showing up in the first page of the “organic” (non-paid) results. This doesn’t mean they won’t though. Occasionally this kind of site will show up, so be sure to check the 10 things below to make sure a site is good.
Next let’s look at the violet entries. All the violet entries are websites that lead (directly or indirectly) to Amazon.com. Amazon.com can be a great shopping resource as long as you know what you are getting. The fact that there are so many different sellers of different brands of Uggsbootssales on Amazon.com makes choosing the right product a challenge even there. It’s a challenge that will be even more difficult when buying UGGs since UGG has recently asked all it’s authorized retailers to no longer sell on Amazon.com. This means that you will be taking your chances buying UGGs on Amazon.com. There is a good chance in the future that you will not even be able to find “real” UGG Uggs at all, and even if you do, you will be buying them from a dealer that is not authorized by UGG . Buyer beware.
The results circled in yellow are off-brand websites. They sell Emu, Whooga, Roxy, or some other brand of boot that is not an authentic UGG Uggsbootssales. They are probably trustworthy sites, just not what we are looking for. We want “real UGGs”.
You will notice there are three blue circles on the first page. One is an ad near the top, accompanied by two listings in the non-paid results. These links all lead (directly or indirectly) to Zappos. In all fairness you should know that Zappos is indeed one of UGG ’s authorized dealers, and are known to be a trustworthy business. They do however usually have slightly higher prices on Uggsbootssales than most other online retailers.
Finally we can get to the few green entries on the first page of Google. As with red, green is universally known to stand for something good, and in this case it does. The few green results are split into 2 groups. The first two entries from the top down (1 an ad, and 1 a non-paid “organic” listing) both lead to the official UGG site, obviously one of the most trustworthy places to buy UGGs online. They don’t have free shipping though, so you can usually find a better deal at one of their “authorized independent online dealers”, which is what the other green entries denote.
Now that we have “painted a picture” of the online Uggsbootssales landscape it is a little easier to see what kind of problem we are dealing with, and yes there is a problem. Of the 21 different entries on the page there are only 6 authorized dealers represented counting the official UGG website. If you were just randomly clicking on things you would have about a 38% chance of landing on an authorized dealers site (since Zappos and UGG have more than one listing). That’s not so good. What’s worse is the number of “untrustworthy” sites represented. Once again if you were just clicking randomly on things you would have about a 38% chance of landing on a site that raises red flags. With the other 24% of sites being off-brand or not what we are looking for that means we have an equal chance of clicking a “good” site or a “bad” site. Don’t worry though, we are here to help. Go ahead and flip that coin, then look for the signs below to tell you if you should buy there or not.
3 things to help you avoid getting ripped-off when buying UGGs online.
1. Are the UGGs “made in ”? Sad but true, “real” UGGs from UGG are now actually made in China. Only the Ultra collection is still made in New Zealand, but NONE of UGG ’s products are manufactured or shipped from . If you are buying Uggs that are made in you can be 100% certain they are NOT UGG brand Uggs.
2. Is the word UGG spelled right in the Google entry? Look out for Ughs, Ugs, or any other spelling of the word Ugg. Uggsbootssales are marketed under several different spellings of the word, but UGG Uggs will ALWAYS be represented using the “UGG” spelling. Also be wary of clicking on ads that seem to spell the word correctly but have weird spaces in them. Who knows why they do it, but there must be a reason. Almost every time you find something like this it will lead to a site that raises several other red flags, so look out for sites selling “U GG boots”, “U G G s”, or “UG Gs” they are out there.
3. Is the website you buy your UGGs from uggcanada.ca? If so you made a great choice. Here at uggcanada.ca you are assured to get the real UGG brand Uggs boots sales, always with free shipping within the Continental US and a safe secure checkout system that insures your private information stays private.

We hope this has helped give you some idea of how to protect yourself when buying UGGs online. We hate to see anyone get ripped off, especially in difficult financial times, or during the holiday season. It just goes to show how great people really think Uggsbootssales are. To take such an amazing product and copy it to such an exacting degree and go through all the trouble of making fake websites, promoting and advertising them, and to actually be effective with it says a lot about the product itself. Yes, they really are that nice. UGG is more than just a name, more than just a fad. The UGG name carries with it a commitment to the finest materials, fashion-forward designs, and trustworthy retailers. Trust uggcanada.ca to always bring you these great boots, slippers and other footwear from UGG with safe, secure shopping, free shipping, and great customer service. Remember UGG Uggs are the only “real” UGGS!
