The maximum they can get from you is £5000 if the matter goes to court. Judgment value could be awarded to a total of £5000 excluding any costs. (£280 already O/S to file at the county court) (explained in pm)

Now to make this go away they say give them £180 damages. But the stinger is they want info on the supplier. Problem being the UGG boots have deemed to be counterfeit. You need to prove or disprove you were aware of that. Obviously there is a story to be told which should be such as to be favourable to you

Just pay the 180 in damages and give them the supplier info. Don't let it get to court. You should have just abandoned the goods, it would have never got this far.

Could you not simply deny ordering them, I mean I could send you some ⊗⊗⊗⊗ Ugg products if I wanted, the fact the package was bound to your address does not prove you ordered them, they could have been wrongly addressed or sent in an attempt to frame you. Frankly I think their trying it on.

And what is their £5000 loss based on?, they need to justify how they have lost that amount if it went to court.

I have been buying from overseas and selling on ebay for years, trust me, i have had items seized, just abandon them, pay the 180 and be done with it. I ALWAYS, ALWAYS now pay my suppliers the extra shipping fees to send my stuff by UPS or DHL, it is worth it not to have to hassle with customs coming into USA or leaving ASIA, tell your suppliers that is the only way you will buy from them, pay the extra shipping fee.

Are you saying UPS and DHL don't go through customs?

I'm going to tell you guys one thing. Dhl and UPS packages are less scrutinized compared to Ems packages. Trust me! EVERY single package I receive from EMS is opened. But, for some reason when I get a package from ups or dhl it is rarely opened. My supplier is very smart, he has someone clear my package from me. He has his own clearance agent. He's the best supplier I ever met!

Same here. My supplier ships everything by DHL and from the day I place my order it takes 3 days to arrive. My packages always have a orange "security checked" sticker on it and that's all. Using DHL or UPS is the only way to go!!

cqinjail · #11 02-19-2010

My suppliers also told me DHL rarely got scrutinized by customs. So far I have some luck with EMS. My packages arrived unopened and no customs tax. However, it took so long to arrive.

ivonnewun · #12 02-19-2010

I was told via my supply also that shipping via DHL, UPS you are looked at more by customs... ?

oompaloompa · #13 02-19-2010

yes but there is a cost difference using DHL/UPS instead of EMS

Yes it does cost more to use UPS and DHL but you have way less risk of getting a package seized by customs and personally for my location in the US I will get my package in about half the amount of time for a package that comes via EMS. I only order large quanitys 100+ box sets at a time and so my supplier ships via DHL for no extra charge. If I do a small order 1-50 sets then I have to pay a little extra to upgrade the shipping.

cqinjail · #15 02-19-2010

Yes, that's right. If the total weight is over 21kg my suppliers from China will ship free by DHL.

I don't understand what's going on here. How did Ugg know you purchased ⊗⊗⊗⊗ boots from this person?

Where did that come? you must have been replying to a deleted post I bet.

GreenBean · #18 03-30-2010

@jbuntz, where did that come from: the thread only has your deleted post. That post has no relevance to what Ballsack asked.

@Ballsack, there has been a VERY extensive campaign in the UK and now spreading to the USA where the Rights Owner is taking action against the selling of counterfeit UGGS. ebay uk got bombed by the action. Suppliers got nabbed, buyers got nabbed

I couldn't find the post he was replying to, which is why I said that.

GreenBean · #20 03-30-2010

The first post makes the statement. Are you confused?

jbluntz · #21 03-30-2010

No not confused yet, just slowly getting there but normally when someone replies to a comment without the original quote it's usually not too far above but never all the way at the top, based on my experience, remember I seach new posts, I'm coming in at the bottom.

GreenBean · #22 03-30-2010

Oh, fair enough. Tis confusing at times
