You seem to all be buying from this ghd-outlet place...
Well the REAL GHD Outlet website is www.ghdoutletaustralia.org .. Their ghds are the standard size, and all of them are from factory directly, authentic quality and original package. They are shipped directly from China ( where they come from anyway ) And if you buy them directly from there, they are up to 65% off with free shipping, rather than going through an Australian GHD store etc. My friend who is an award winning Australian Hair Styler put me on to this site. I brought a Leopard Print GHD Styler for $104.95 and it is perfect! No troubles what so ever and I was able to register it, no problem! It came in original packing.. just took a little longer to get here as its shipped from China.
Ps- I emailed the site a few times asking a bunch of questions and they replied within 24 hours each time.
