lurbel sock rip off

Just a small warning if you find yourself at this link http://www.pifinearts.com/ . While I was searching for lurbel socks after seeing them favourably mentioned in these threads I came across this website which appears to be a lurbel home page . The fine folks at pifinearts advertise as selling lurbel socks at a reduced price, so I thought I would give them a go and ordered some, but what I got for my 50 dollars AUD instead of 3 pairs of size 13 hiking socks was 3 pairs of size 8 cotton business socks, all labelled in chinese. My fault for looking for special prices.... I have emailed the 'company' over a week ago without receiving a reply. If they should happen to reply and indicate they will rectify their 'error' I will update this post....

If you paid with credit card, call the CD company and fight the charge. You'll get your money back.

Not a small warning, Zac, but a good reminder we all need periodically that not everyone out there has the Camino Spirit.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

You did put the link, but was the webpage not HTTPS? No S = not Secure!
If not, never buy at such sites....some bank compagnies (VISA,...) won't pay you back!
