Question about a 'Supposed' Barbour Retailer

JTBondJTBond Posts: 114MI6 Agent
Is anyone familiar with this website? They claim to be a Barbour outlet, but I'm a little skeptical. These prices seem too good to be true.

    I agree, it seems a bit too good to be true, doesn't it? If it is a rip-off, it's one of the better ones. The usual signs are missing although this line makes me suspicious: "For orders more than 10pcs, we can offer wholesale price save more for your business," not only because genuine retailers of Barbour and other higher-end products never wholesale, but also because of the awkward English. I'd bet they're based in China...and therefore that the items are indeed not genuine.

    Just did a check on the domain name and found it is sponsored by "BEIJING INNOVATIVE LINKAGE TECHNOLOGY LTD. DBA DNS.COM.CN"....guess that answers that question!

    That's what I was thinking. Looks like a knockoff website.

    I've been trying to find the Barbour Stratus jacket since I really can't afford the Beacon or Commander, thought I had found the sale of the century :))

    Can anyone tell if this is a real site? If so, great price on the Commander. Just hesitant to order.

    Popped up on the first page of a Google search for "Barbour Commander Olive."

    Risk breaker, it looks highly suspicious, just read the text at the foot, it's gibberish and looks like it has been hastily put together (just look at the text below Newsletter or click the About Us or Conditions of Use links).

    Usually when sites have prices which look too good to be true - they are.

    It's a fake site, jackets are copied and made in China, avoid, the commander does not seem to be as popular and if you go to aspecto they are currently selling real ones for £299.99

    There is a link on Barbour's website where you can type in the web address of the vendor and it will tell you if it's an authorized dealer.

    ... like many have said before, all these pages are fake.

    - Nobody sells the entire Barbour range 50% off or more.
    - just read the faq and you'll see typically chinese buthered english sentences
    - if still in doubt, use whois and enter the url. You'll see than that all these fraudsters are located in China.
    - urls or emailaddresses like "cheapbarbour..." are a good sign also.

    Just for fun, I ran a whois search for causestalking.net and here are the results:

    If it's too good to be true...

    These websites are very easy to spot. Start by assuming that everything on the internet is a fake, fraud or fiddle and then work backwards. Deplorable grammar hidden amongst the FAQs or 'About us' are a dead giveaway, although some of these dodgy sites simply copy and paste the FAQs and other text from genuine sites. Finally, you can put the URL into Google and find the info that Bondtoys provided above. They tell you everything you could ever want!

    So bird558, if you're genuinely unsure and just looking for a bargain (message 10), sorry mate, take the advice here and save your money to buy a genuine Barbour.

    But if you're in some way connected to the manufacturer/seller (message 12)...climb back in your corrupt, illegal sweatshop hole and look for other customers without brain cells who'll buy your rubbish clothes, watches and whatever other garbage you're flogging.

    That's why I have my reservations against all kind of fakes. It attracts the wrong people....
