So, I've bought replica's before because paying for true religion's and Oakley sunglasses are ridiculously overpriced. And a friend told me about this place called koo777 (also been known as kootrade and kootradeshop) and there prices are really low. They've been up for over a year now and I've seen youtube reviews from people receiving there items and showing off some minor imperfections and what not (sneakerheads are cray about there shoes). Anyway I wanted to know if anyone has ANY experience buying replicas from ANY website and how it turned out. If you have ordered from them then that's a plus if not please share your story still. I also have a few questions.

How can I trust them?

If they are a scam and keep taking money out of my card, is there a way to stop them (I have a Visa Debit and they said they take Visa, plus I can't overdraw so If i put just enough in there what would happen?)

Anyone trust any other replica websites?

If I do get scammed can I get my money back anyway?


Idk if listing the above name of the website is against the rules or If i post a link to what i want to buy is so I wont post the link, If a mod could Edit out the name if it's against the rules instead of giving me an infraction that would be great, and if it's not against the rules I'll link what i'm thinking of buying.

You can get a refund if they scam you, just simply call your bank and job done.

Not always that easy, If your buying replicas and the bank finds out then you have to fill out paperwork that goes through customs, and if they know your buying fakes you wont get shit back because it's against the law.

Most banks will let you set up a temporary credit/debit card number to use for online transactions. So if that's one of your main concerns that's what I do.

If you do get ripped off you can probably call your bank and get the funds reversed, I wouldn't completely count on it though.

I don't have any idea about knock off items so I can't help you on that front, good luck!

Thanks, Still looking for advice! There has to be someone who has bought knock offs on this forum before.

 

I wouldn't advise paying with with a debit card. Debit cards aren't always protected from fraudulent activity. But, if you have a credit card, I would say go for it.

Could you explain more? How is it not protected when I barely ever use my card and There's an overdraw block on it?

I've bought fake beats off of DHGate and DealExtreme. DealExtreme was okay, DHGate's were meh.

I bought Detox off DealExtreme which were all around good
I bought OVO Pro's off DHGate which the wire snapped, the earcups would make like a popping noise when you move them, and the paint wasn't professionally done (would go over onto the metal) and the lock mechanism was broken. You could really only notice most of that stuff if you were looking for it, from a few feet away they looked really nice though.

Both those sites were legitimate and didn't steal any CC info, and I believe for DHGate I could use paypal.

Also iOffer.com has good replicas.

I looked on all the websites, they have some good stuff but there not marked down as low as on other websites. And I've watched a couple people on youtube receive there items some I feeling a little more confidant, I'm still looking for more answers though.

Think about the consequences of using a debit card.

If your debit card was stolen and you had $2k in your checking someone could go spend the said $2k + more and leave you with an even bigger debt. Also, depending on your bank you may or may not have to pay extra fees for overdrafting. With my bank I have overdraft protection(like yourself), but if I buy something as "credit" at the store and my balance was $0, I now have a negative balance and have to pay a fee. And think about if that was all your money and now you have to wait a month to receive the money that was lost with the fraudulent activity. Now you can't pay your bills etc.

With a credit card they will not be able to touch your "balance" and they won't be able to put you in negative $$'s. This was explained to me in further detail while I was at school, so there are more reasons but I can't think of them. Try googling more reasons you will be surprised at all of them.

Thanks, I googled it a bit and found out I'm liable for up to $500 in fraud My total with shipping is $122 I also got insurance on it for $5 bucks. Also talked to my bank and If there isn't enough money for a transaction in my account then the whole thing is canceled and won't go through. So If i do end up scammed I would only be out $122 on worst case scenario and I get a new debit and the first of the year so I just wouldn't load it up with money. But Im going to try and keep this thread up until Monday when I order to try and get some more feedback.
