Rahman, could you possibly have access to stuff not on their website? Any stockists you personally know, that sell authentic FP with a huge variety? I find some things on FP.com not available on ASOS and vice versa.

I want this, but in an S or M.

Hmm... no Rahman. I can't get anything from there. Shipping of 25 pounds is enough for 5 good meals. Can't let that happen bro.

Sigh. Looks like FP.com is the only way.

those fred perries are authentic or not ?
just to double confirm .

found a piece of very useful information.

is it relatively cheaper to buy here or in singapore? plus, bare in mind singapore sales just round the corner, does it affect their fred perry?

rahman,

http://en.item.rakuten.com/clozest/10000474/

reckon this shop in rakuten is legit? they do have a huge variety of FP, all never seen before. do FP in japan have their own discretion in designing their own stuff? they seem to have a looooooot of awesome FPs in all colours and makes.

i kinda like this one so bad... http://en.item.rakuten.com/mix/frp-3055/ the first one.

Hi everyone!

Thanks for your persistent support and continual discussion to the benefit of all consumers by everyone in the hardwarezone forum or here.

Here's a personal message from myself to every of my buyers, critics and non-believers:

1. Authenticity

1.1 Credible supplier

These old stocks once posted were from a UK wholesaler, destined to be exported in parallel to South American market. They have been a credible source and own distributorship rights to North American markets but not Asia, which explains why I can't openly declare their identity as it would have been a breach of contract. As Fred Perry fans can attest to, in the recent two years, Fred Perry had revamped their buttons, wash tags and cutting, these old stocks became impasse and thus one of my buyers spotted the deal and hopped on the bandwagon to give it a try.

1.2 Quality

It had been guaranteed by the supplier and my purchaser and I had strongly advocated that you can bring your Fred Perry polo to any boutique to verify its authenticity. However, we can't bring in recent designs and latest batches of Fred Perry because we honour the distributorship rights of Amnesty, also Singapore's official distributor. These old stocks are meant for fred perry lovers who might love the old colours and designs that cannot be found in the boutiques.

1.3 Rights

Most importantly, on the basis of distributorship, my company is not an official distributor. So actually if you are aware of business law, my company assumes the role of a reseller. As a reseller, I had personally met customers to ensure that they are fully satisfied before purchases.

2. Purpose

2.1 Target

We target students as our main customers as we believe that fashion is expensive (for the great designs and professional designers working 24/7) yet we believe everyone should have an avenue to looking good. Affordable prices, which are already very attractive considering its cost are provided. And we encouraged those who can afford them not to discriminate against people who want to own a Fred Perry too but not willing to splurge in boutique.

2.2 Property Rights

We respect property rights and would not have advertised or even bought the old stocks if they are not genuine. We would do better bringing in new designs to appease everyone but at the expense of the local distributor who had been affected more by online shopping platforms like asos.com. If you love the real thing and respect property rights, get at the boutique. For designs not available, then order online.


That summarized what I wanted to express on behalf of everyone in the company. I am very pleased that in-depth discussion are held and respect the hardworking souls sharing information that renders everyone a more well-informed customer, which also explains why I always add the link to discussion thread by rahman to interested buyers for their perusal since the discussion begun.

Right now, we are overseas meeting wholesalers of different apparels. If you have any feedbacks, do post anywhere here be it negative or positive cos no views are stupid We realised we had been too silent as one of my buyers smsed me tonight, prompting me to take a look at the discussion. Also please inform us here of which aspect of the polo you think is not genuine so that we can immediately feedback to our supplier for their replies.

Thank you for all your kind attention!

Best Regards,

Damion

hi bro,just some question..

for genuine fred perry for the address inside the polo,should it:

14 covenant garden

or

24 covenant garden

thanks before

I still prefer the basics.
And rahman, I don't get all that you posted, but thanks for the info I guess... @_@

I say don't do it. don't want the fakes to be 1:1 to original.

I said I didn't get what you posted in the last page, about some guy trying to bring in FP and sell it or summat like that

Yeah, probably u can drop subtle hints. I know what you're trying to get at, but I read somewhere, lots of fake manufacturers actually scour these forums to improve their products.

These people are seriously pro at what they do... sometimes I just respect them in that way...

Anyway, good news for everyone, so I thought I'd share. FP could never be cheaper!! Today only.

i bought few shirts from endclothing. Will i get tax charge from custom ?

Recently I received a “Notis Tahanan & Perlatikan Agen (PK1)” (refer figure1) from EMS to asked me go to collect my parcel from Custom Department. The parcel is sent by my vendor from USA.




Why My Parcel Onhold at Custom Department?
Ans: The AWB [USPS-United States Postal Service] on top of the parcel show the Total Value of $300USD++ (Approximately RM1K++) in which exceeded RM500 (will be taxable). The parcel shown as “High-value goods” when I check through the EMS tracking shipment page.

Others reason may due to the customs needs proof of the parcel exact value rather than based on the value written on your AWB. In this case, you need to present the official or commercial invoice to make the declaration for your parcel.

The others methods will be, asked your sender to put the invoice in between or beneath the AWB to show the value of your parcel without sending it personally to you.

How much I will be charged on top of that?

Ans: According to custom officer, sanitary cloth pads (HS Code: 6307.90.100) required 20% import duty + 10% sales tax + RM49.80 (EMS delivery charges??!!). Total up, cost me nearly RM450. Woww !!! I get shocked because I didn’t expected it will be so expensive.

What action I had took?

Ans: I returned back the parcel to my vendor instead let the custom department suck my blood! The custom officer allowed me to return it back to my vendor by written “Return to Sender” + Signature + written down my IC in the custom printout form. The custom officer told me they will sent it back using the same method as the vendor shipped to me and the shipping cost will revert back to my vendor. I am not able to shipped the parcel back to my vendor using my own PosLaju account because the parcel did not release to me and still held in custom department.
What I had learned from this incident?

1) There are import rate + sales tax applied on top of the imported parcel / merchandise which exceeded RM500. Check properly for the import item categories as taxable or non-taxable items. [Customs Tarrif]

2) Custom officer required the official invoice for custom declaration. As an additional proof, they also need you to provide them with your payment receipt to show them the exact amount you pay to your vendor/sender in case they do not believed the value/amount stated inside the invoice [I faced this issue as 1 middle aged lady from the custom threaten me that I will be compound by showing the make up invoice with no concrete proof {*speechless*}, that is why I returned back the parcel back to my sender]. They encourage the user to make the payment via credit card through paypal so that to show them the email by paypal as proof.

3) You may request your shipper/sender provides you with a commercial invoice as a proof to the custom department for the value of the parcel. You may refer or download the SAMPLE OF COMMERCIAL INVOICE HERE. It is advisable to place your commercial invoice together with your AWB so that custom officer easy to find it.
