Superdry?

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.
Forum rules
TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Superdry?

Has anybody here ever used Superdry to purchase goods direct from the manufacturer?
http://www.pollostok.com/

I've taken a gamble and I have just ordered some "New-Old Stock" Berghaus Supergaiters for my Telemark boots
At half of the cost of getting them from the EU even if Berghaus actually had stock in my size which I think is XXXL to fit the plastic boot outer
They also have half price Everest suits if anybody is looking for a warm Onesie

hey MD

That site has all the hallmarks of a fake site, or a site peddling fake gear:
  • There are no contact details
  • There are no company details (physical address, business phone number or email addresses)
  • There is no real returns policy
  • The ip address has been up for under a year.
  • The contact details for the ip appears to use a ficticious address in the US, while their email appears to be China based.
  • googling the phone number on the ip registration shows a number of other dodgy sites selling "Nike" and other shoes

While Superdry is a legit British based brand, this website appears to be using their brand name illegitimately. I would urge caution in handing money over to them or if you already made an order, I would consider contacting your credit card company indicating you might have purchased from a fraudulent site.
