noehlp Posted December 13, 2009 Author Posted December 13, 2009 Well, it does appear, by reading from GottaDeal member's feedback in this thread, that correct me if I'm wrong, some of them ordered directly from this deal post, and they are reporting that it is a REAL Chi.
moonvine Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 I know but I am giving these as presents and who wants to give fake presents?
noehlp Posted December 13, 2009 Author Posted December 13, 2009 I know but I am giving these as presents and who wants to give fake presents?I understand your hesitation. Ulta sometimes has them on sale, and you might be able to use a coupon code on one. Let me try to do some checking around.

drewluvr1 Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Folica.com sells real ones. They are $69.99 right now with free shipping and 20% off with code HOLIDAY20.
noehlp Posted December 13, 2009 Author Posted December 13, 2009 Folica.com sells real ones. They are $69.99 right now with free shipping and 20% off with code HOLIDAY20.No, the 20% off coupon does not or is not working on Folica's Chi Flat Irons. I tried many times tonight. So just $69.99 & free ship, for the 1" original.
amickeyfan Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Folica.com sells real ones. They are $69.99 right now with free shipping and 20% off with code HOLIDAY20.Now that sounds like a real deal... on a real one..
amickeyfan Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 I checked out their site and it seems they have several chi's at different prices. Why wouldn't all the 1 inch be the same price? Some say brand new in box, some say new? Me personally, I don't think I would chance it from this site. I know some are getting their's in the mail & they seem OK bu the real test will be in a year from now if it still works.
lisaandchris Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Just wanted to let everyone know that I ordered a few days ago when this was first posted and got my Chi today. It is authentic, and I couldn't believe how fast I got it. I got the black one. Lisa

leah_steven Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Just remember when you order one online it voids the warranty. Faurrok will not replace it if it isn't purchased at an authorized dealer. I am getting one for christmas from my hubby :) I just found it in his closet and he purchaed it from Target. I hope they are an authorized dealer

Bopeep Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Got it in today. looked it over really well, and compared it to my sister's. Pretty sure it's a knock off. It does have a sticker, and the sticker says "made in China". The box says "made in Korea". The box looks copied as well. The funny thing is, it gets really hot, and works really well so it's probably worth what I paid for it. I just wish they would put their own name on it and say something like "compares to Chi...".
moonvine Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 This is crazy, some people say it is real, others say it is fake...argh1

Ivetico Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 I got mine in the mail today. I haven't opened it yet (it was shipped to my mom's), but just wanted to let you know I got it.
davephillyj Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 The fake or not link was VERY informative and probably hold true to many things that we buy. Some of that I would have never thought about. Good info to have!
alleyc Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 well, I have to say I am pretty p:mad:ssed off with this company.. after MANY attempts to get an answer as why I haven't received mine yet but they charged my card last week asap and never confirmed my order. They're trying to DENY I ordered at all! This is a gift for my 15 yr old ... now , what to do....I will never buy from them their customer service is a freaking nightmare. OMG!!!!! Ps my order does not show up in my account that was set up when I orderd it . Now their emailing me wanting the order # . WTH. They do not read apparently, due to their own glitch on their end I never received crap - just that it was taken from my account. GRRR

alleyc Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Put in a disputed charge notice with your credit card company right away!I tried to call mine earlier but call reps were not available at this time of night, I am tomorrow morning though. Its my Debit card- my local bank. I even sent a snapshot of my cache showing the order LOL.. , waiting on the latest response now from them...
mmptysmom Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Put in a disputed charge notice with your credit card company right away!did you get order verification email from stootsi.com??
alleyc Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 nope but they charged me ! and won't do a damn thing about it. Worst customer service ever.
moonvine Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Does anyone know the number to call to verify if it is a real CHI? I did order one for myself and a guaranteed real one as a present. But I would like to know if mine is real or not.
alleyc Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I could not find a number - have had to do all contact through email and that took a week to get a response of any kind. (6 emails and finally got one). Good Luck.

wittlebit83 Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 My mom ended up getting me one for Christmas after I sent her this link. She gave it to me yesterday and it seems to be a good product. I don't know that I'm qualified to distinguish whether it's real or not, but as long as it works well... I'm okay!
