   Oh well, I thought their JustAsk was an online service. Rechecked to see it is not so. You can only send them an email at best.

   I just noticed that the proportion of sites on the list correlates with the main interests of Kuwaiti society: Cars, food and Fashion dominate. :/

   I’m Kuwaiti not an expat btw.

    Mark,

    If you want to know if the website is licensed or not, go to the Kuwait Chamber of commerce and industry website and write down the name of the company and see if it exists or not. (for example try to write Dekkany )

    I am really glad to see such subject is being blogged about. I’d like to also thank Pink Moon for being very comprehensive in pointing the differences between the many available stores.

    Now fakes have always been around for quick profits. It’s really sad that many people cannot distinguish them and fall victims. It’s a subject that’s been hammered enough and the phenomena usually fades with public awareness and the attention of authorities.

    At Nafnofy.com, we don’t carry big names and we don’t even advertise most of the brands we sell as it wouldn’t make a difference since they’re not known to our market. We bring to customers something different, unexplored and reasonably priced; all three backed by our close customer service. We probably don’t have a showroom nor a payment gateway but we’re fully licensed and proud to see our name on this blog within 7 months of operation.

29. 29. Rakan | April 1st, 2008 at 8:00 am

    If what pink moon is saying is true then someone has to do something about it. I had no idea that you could set up an online store (fashion or otherwise) without going through proper process and obtaining a license. 7imayat al Mustahlik should look into this.

    The government is actually working on something really nice as rules and regulations for e-commerce. I have actually seen a draft and it looks pretty decent. It will not be long until you see this segment of the market regulated. But again, it’s hard to control the internet…look at that 20 torrents sites that got blocked…out of how many?

    Mark just to be clear about one thing…

    i do not sell cc sky nor do i sell David and goliath… so pinkmoon plz before lashing out on people who sell your stuff do your homework… I sell KJL which is on your website and i can prove its done via KJL themselves! FYI i do have permission do sell from david and goliath and i would be happy to share with you the email!

    infact, i can send you my licensed emails from all the designers i do sell from. All of which give me permission to sell for them in kuwait. I never ever sell something wihthout permission…

    As for having a license… well what am i supposed to do if there are no e-commerce regulations? Just because i do not have a physical store doesnt not mean im a scammer!!!! Jeez!!!!

37. 37. PowderTalk | April 1st, 2008 at 2:42 pm

    mark plz when pinkmoon says a site is FAKE it means they are steal people identities or sell fake merchandise or something equally horrid!!!! i do not believe thats fair to other websites!!!! and also, i chose to have cash on delivery and i can get my site to sell via visa but i do not want the headache of it!!!!

38. 38. Mark | April 1st, 2008 at 3:04 pm

    Pink Moon I don’t think you should go around accusing other stores of being cheaters, liars and selling counterfeit goods without any proof just so that your store looks good. I just got an email from one of the stores here which you’ve accused of selling counterfeit goods and the owner proved to me his stuff is original and has the approval from the manufacturer so your information was not correct in that case and might not be in the other cases you’ve mentioned.

    So its better if you stop spreading rumors and talking about other stores without providing the readers here with solid evidence. It just makes Pink Moon look like they’re jealous or afraid of competition.

    I am going to go back through your posts where you’ve accused all the other stores and remove them since you are defaming their brand and potentially hurting their sales or reputation.

39. 39. Pink Moon | April 1st, 2008 at 3:46 pm

    Mark,

    Liars and Cheaters? LOL…

    You asked me to post which sites I read were posting counterfeit goods or goods that were obtained in an unauthorized manner. I backed up each of the statements based on what I read and based on what I saw from the websites themselves and based on what people who used those sites said. If you would like to believe that stores selling Juicy, Dolce, Hermes, etc are real, go right ahead.

    If you understood the retail business, you would not think for a minute that a lot of the items were real. And for stores that are selling real items, what I said was that those stores do not distribute, which means the store probably got the items through an unauthorized manner. If I walk in to abercrombie in the US, spend $5000, and then come back to kuwait and put them on a website and sell them for more, that doesnt mean the items are fake, it means the means of distribution is unauthorized.

    Another reason i posted, other than that you asked me to, was so that if the stores disagreed, we would get to hear their opinion and their statements. Nafnoofy posted a thank you to me and also wrote that they are 100% licensed. Great, now we know another store that is licensed. I would love to be proven wrong, because it would mean we would have more legitate businesses. If any of the stores disagree, let them post for themselves. Isnt this supposed to be an open discussion? Dont go throwing accusations because you think someone emailed you “proof”. If you have “proof” that anything I said was incorrect, email it to me and I would happily post back on the blog that I was wrong. However, I am sure I didnt write anything that I don’t believe to be true, so would love to see this proof.

    Spreading rumors, talking about other stores, jealous? We arent in high school Mark. If you knew anything about us you would know we are huge supporters of encouraging small businesses and have taken many meetings and advised many girls starting new websites, even doing as much as guiding them through every step. We are even starting a group with other small companies in Kuwait that focuses on sharing your business experiences with other young people trying to crack into the same business field so they have the guidance we never got.

    Mark,

    I noticed you also removed my post where I quoted direct proof that a site had copied and pasted from my customer care page as they forgot to remove the PINK MOON.

    You ask for proof then you delete it?

    Here’s the link again, check out the Cookies section.

41. 41. Mark | April 1st, 2008 at 3:59 pm

    Pink Moon you first mentioned that certain stores were selling fake goods so I asked you to tell us because I assumed you had accurate information regarding your statement. But I received two emails today from two of the stores you accused of selling fake goods and they shared with me information that proved what you said about them was wrong.

    Thats why I had to remove your posts, its because what I thought were accurate accusations started to turn out to be false which made some of your replies hurtful to the stores who are being falsely accused.

42. 42. Pink Moon | April 1st, 2008 at 4:14 pm

    Let me know which statments you think are false, and would happily back it up.

43. 43. Mark | April 1st, 2008 at 4:14 pm

    Pink Moon you said “Panacheous is also fake.”
    Accusing them of being “Fake” is different from accusing them of copying the fine print from your website. One means the site is just there to steal money from you, the other means they are just too lazy to write their own fine print.

    Remember, you’ve also been accused of copying the Juicy Couture about us page.

45. 45. Pink Moon | April 1st, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    Mark, my site launched before the Juicy site.

    Also, your definition of fake is not mine. “Fake” does not mean that someone is stealing money from you. “Fake” is the opposite of “real”, so if something is fake, them there is something not legitimate.

46. 46. Gollum | April 1st, 2008 at 4:40 pm

    Who is copying who now ?!?!?!
    Juicy COUTURE !! is copying Pinkmoon !!!

47. 47. Mark | April 1st, 2008 at 4:42 pm

    There is only one definition of fake and what you said is the same a mine.

    When you are saying a store isn’t real then you are accusing that store of not really having anything for sale just there to steal money from unaware visitors. Thats a really strong accusation calling a store fake just because they copied the fine print from your site and thats why i deleted that post.

    According to the Web Archive, Juicy Coutures site was launched before Pink Moon by a few years.

    http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://juicycouture.com
    http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://pinkmoonboutique.com

    (copy paste the whole line and put it into your browser)

48. 48. Pink Moon | April 1st, 2008 at 4:50 pm

    Mark,

    Not that I would expect you to know this (as its a womans store:), but Juicy couture has re-launched its site several times. This version was not up when my site launched in 2005.

    Also, I wrote the text myself. And I’m not sure what books everyone read growing up, but most of mine started with “once upon a time” and “happily ever after”. And pink moon is owned by 2 girls!

49. 49. Mark | April 1st, 2008 at 4:56 pm

    Pink Moon, it wasn’t me who accused you of copying, it was someone else. And as you saw how that accusation was unfair I am trying to show you how your accusations might seem unfair to the other shop owners.

50. 50. Pink Moon | April 1st, 2008 at 5:46 pm

    I think what everyone wants to know is what sites are safe and what are not. Bottom line is, in MY opinion, for a site to be safe it should have:

    1) A Commercial license
    2) A security certificate (so personal info you enter on the site is safe)
    3) Items received directly from an authorized distributer

    If any of the 3 is missing, the consumer has no rights against the store if they are dissatisfied in any way.

    Someone mentioned that there are no licenses for online stores. That is true, you have to get a store license and the store rules apply to your website.

51. 51. Pink Moon | April 1st, 2008 at 7:28 pm

    PowderTalk, I thought I wrote Panacheaous before that comment about CC skye and David & Goiliath?!?! Just checked and that was a complete mistake on my part. The post is deleted or I would have had it changed. Just saw your comment. Thank you for the correction, sorry about that.

    For the record, no issues with PowderTalk. Everything looks legit and I like their items. For anyone who read my post, I was referring to Panacheous.com for that comment.

52. 52. PowderTalk | April 1st, 2008 at 7:39 pm

    Pinkmoon, it takes a brave gal to admit her mistake in public. I apologise if i seemed harsh before but the comment with my website’s it really pissed me off … in CC skye i was told you had exclusive rights and i respected that…

    Best of luck… waiting to see your pinkmoon clothes line… :)

53. 53. Pink Moon | April 1st, 2008 at 7:42 pm
