My apologies everyone, I tried to take some photos of the polo but the plastic wrapping wasn't very cooperative. The reflection made it hard to look at the labels etc up close.

But if anyone is interested in seeing what the item looks like. I will be more than glad to meet up with you (at my convenience and location, of course) to show you a real RL polo and the one i have purchased from the above mentioned site.

Note: I have no interest in screwing with pple's businesses, I just don't want others to think they are paying for the real deal which was what the site described the items as.

greetings!
just something which i think alot of pple miss out. sometimes, the Ralph Lauren shirts you see at Ralph Stores is different in colour from the 1 that you have. However, that does not means that yours is a fake. Ralph Lauren Shirts (colours of pony etc) changes colour almost every season. Hence yours might be old stock from a few seasons ago. yeps. just thought should bring your attention to this :)

Are you referring to the polos or the shirts?
I agree the polo colours change almost every season.
Having owned several real pieces of RL polos i can safely say i can 99.99% tell if a polo is real or fake once i look at the item.
I've recently come across several imitations that have very poor sewing on the pony logo. Most of which are lacking in several stitchings in fact.
So please look carefully before you buy. Most sellers out there are either ignorant of what they are selling or purposely out to make a quick buck. Trust your own instincts and what you know about the product. Sellers comments should be taken with a pinch of salt.

In case anyone has purchased items from this website http://juno-ee.blogspot.com/. I've had an RL polo authenticated and it is not authentic as stated in the site.

I'm unable to find the post that the site owner has put in here so just a heads up. There were multiple sprees in it ranging from bape to hugo boss etc.

yup, i just bought a Lacoste top from http://juno-ee.blogspot.com. Totally fake, and even get me the wrong size!!

Apparently, this spree organiser (HWZ nick edEDboi) claimed the stuff

he/she is getting are authentic. He/she advertised his blog in multiple threads in HWZ and VR-ZONE.

And now, according to spree-ers who joined the spree; the stuff they received are not authentic.

Look at this statement from the spree organizer when someone questioned about the authenticity...

'I can't convince people verbally or visually whether its

authentic or not, but I have tried my best to verify from supplier as well as myself

from going to the store for the authenticity.'


Does it sounds familiar to some of you who's aware of the Fred Perry case in HWZ by 'Junkieboy'?

To all current/potential MO/spree organizers and sellers, by pushing the blame to the supplier(s)

are not enough to deny the fact that you're importing alleged counterfeit item(s) and selling them as

real (aka fraud). If you're unsure whether its real, don't import/sell. Why put yourself into the risk of

alleged fraud case for that mere profits? You're responsible for bringing the stuff in.

To all current/potential buyers who's interested in MO, please support only threads placed under

the Mass Order category as the organiser need to furnish his/her IC and personal particulars to HWZ

so as to start the MO. This will certainly safeguard your interest in case anything goes wrong (touchwood).

Lastly, a true MO/spree organiser will also disclose where exactly he/she is spreeing from (e.g.

www.polo.com / www.fredporry.com / www.asos.com)

based on personal and many others experiences, the effect will be

better if you report direct to the brand owner, i.e. LV, Coach and

they'll then report to the authorities

lets put aside on the quality of the item and put more focus on the authenticity... when there's no demand there'll be no supply. do support the original brand owner. you also do not wish to be wearing an authentic piece and mistaken by others as wearing fake (reason being there're just too many fakes out there and the quality is getter better and better)

Hey guys,

Just to check, for authentic abercrombie goods, must they necessarily come with that big and heavy tag which is pinned to the neck area when you receive it?

And for authentic ones, what are the countries which make them? only made in china is it? or made in macau as well?

Thanks

Hi,

I have a bad encouter with this hardwarezone forumer called RESET.

I was selling my sony HDR-10 camcorder and she bidded for 600 dollars. It's way before my SB but since I need cash, I decided to sell to her. The bad dealings with her started when she kept changing the meeting time and locations. 4 times we changed and I WAS QUITE FURIOUS.

Finally, we met at Clementi MRT on wednesday 26th august 2009, 10 am in the morning. After Checking my cameras, she said she never bring enough money (SHE ONLY BRING 400 BUCKS) and she asked me to reduce the price and promised me to pay the rest 150 dollars later but she would take the whole set first.

Out of goodwill, i reduced the price and i told her that I would want to keep some stuff from the set as warranty in case she never pay me. She pleaded to me again saying that she needed everything for her trip so in the end SHE ENDED UP SIGNING A WRITTEN IOU AGREEMENT WITH HER NAME ONG KE YAN AND HER IC NUMBER WRITTEN THERE

Then I kept chasing her to pay me out. At first, it was very difficult to contact her and just 2 days ago she picked up my call. I know she was stunned to hear my voice and then I asked her to pay up. She told meet her at 7.45am at bukit batok. IMAGINE 745 AM at bukit batok where I am staying at woodlands! So no choice, i took the earlier train and reach there and SHE NEVER TURNED UP! I TRIED CALLING HER AND SMSING HER, SHE NEVER PICK UP!

And now I FOUND OUT THAT SHE IS SELLING MY CAMERA AT MUCH HIGHER PRICE IN HARDWAREZONE TOO!

http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/sh....php?t=2477814. WTF!

CAN ANYONE SUGGEST WHAT I SHOULD DO? MAKE POLLICE REPORT? CAN HARDWAREZONE ADMIN BAN HER??

HERE IS THE LIST OF HER OTHER FORUMS!
