    Agreed Nick.M... if things are smelling a bit fishy, I always look at a website's location/registered address in the contact page. If it doesn't have one, look at the privacy notice or shipping and returns. This one doesn't sit right... every word being capitalised is slightly odd, but for me it's mostly this bit:

    Non-Returnable Items
    A Product Will Only Be Accepted For Exchange Or Refund If It Is Returned Unworn, Undamaged And In New Condition. All Body Piercing Is Dispatched In Clear Plastic Bags And Sealed With A Tamper Proof Label Which Allows Customers To View The Items And Still Make Use Of Our Fantastic Returns Policy


    A bit curious for a website selling boots. Maybe just a separate website for another company "trading as", but I'm sure as shit not gonna try and find out.

    Good looking boots though!

    Interesting they use the term not available on Bank holidays which is the UK name for Public holidays and no mention of where they ship from.
    Happy Jack.

    George's friends that he plays with are the destroyers. George is a thoroughly good creator.

    Quips aside... these boots seem unusually cheap, and the wording of the returns policy is very badly written.
    Compare the price to the thorogood listings on amazon, something is wrong there.
