GHD MK4 – You might think the price is too good to be true
I am a victim of frizzy hair, this means I have to go through the ritual of straightening your hair daily, before I think about setting foot outside. To help do this in the morning, I use my ghd hair straightening irons and to be honest, I can not live without mine. One problem I noticed in the last 2 years, the number of false and counterfeit GHD MK5 Dark that are sold online. Therefore, I have done my research and have prepared a small guide to help spot fake and counterfeit ghd straighteners.
Before I present my advice, just want to give a little history on what has been done so far, to try to combat counterfeiters. Just before Christmas 2009, ghd working with UK police and Nominate UK domain registration authority is to close more than 20 websites selling counterfeit ghd hair straighteners. This was good news, indeed, was a great new. However, Nominet has authority over the domain ending in.uk consequently, the police could not anything.
The thing to realize is that most of these websites, even if they are aimed at companies in the UK, often based in China. This is where the fake ghd products are manufactured and as a result of this is where the host fraudsters fake Web sites. So my first advice is to try to find out where the website you are purchasing is hosted. Well, you might be thinking – “I’m not Sherlock Holmes … you know.” Well, do not worry; you do not have to be. Use a free domain seek services as a domain or whether the UK will Nominet.net. This way you can know where you live the web site owner. It is China, which should be worried. At this point ghd does not work in China, so there is no reason for anyone who has genuine sale ghd straighteners that country.
My second tip would be to consider carefully and look at the price they are selling for. ghd hair iron is a premium brand and have a RRP of £ 119 in the UK. The cheapest I’ve seen genuine ghd straighteners are selling for £ 88.50, and that was only because ghd had a special promotion of trade. This allowed web sites to buy them a little cheaper and pass the savings to their customers. As a general rule, you’ll pay between £ 95 and £ 109 for a set of regular plate’s ghd online. Therefore, if you see websites selling for £ 55, £ 65, £ 75, this should set off alarm bells in your head. You might think the price is too good to be true; it is, because they are false.
My final advice would be to visit the official ghd website and see if the vendor is approved or not. Many websites are said to be genuine or display a plaque saying that he approved ghd. Unfortunately, the insignia is as false as the straighteners they are selling. In the ghd website is not a domain look up, all you have to do is enter the website address of the shop who have been visiting and tell you immediately if it passes or not.
There you have it, these are my three tips to avoid fake ghd website. I hope you find them useful. I also hope you can find a set of GHDs they are a great price. There are real retailers out there selling GHD MK4 at great prices, you just need to know where to look.
