ghd Professional Limited Edition Advanced Styler with Heat-Resistant Case, 1"

I purchased the GHD IV Pure Styler in Dec. 2009 from Amazon directly not a second party seller. I tried to register this on the official GHD website. The date code was not recognized - a sign that this may be counterfeit. I contacted Amazon through an email and received a very quick response. They immediately sent another styler and a label for the return of the first GHD styler. I received the replacement GHD IV Pure Styler in 2 days with high hopes. Unfortunately, the date code for the replacement was not recognized either. I had emailed GHD in both instances and had not heard back from them. After 3 phone messages and multiple attempts, I finally got a hold of a customer service representative from GHD. I was told that Amazon.com USA is NOT an authorized seller of GHD products and could NOT be registered. With the high level of counterfeits, GHD cannot authenticate the styler at this time.

I bought this flat iron from the amazon dealer here because they are suppose to be a certified dealer of ghd flat irons. I recieved my flat iron today and it looked nice like the real ones but there was no hologram on the flat iron with the serial number that ALL ghd irons will have. It also did not have the proper hologram around the cord it was just a generic picture that you see on most plugs. Any ways it was a counterfeit iron and amazon is going to issue a full refund. If you are thinking of buying just keep this in mind. It might be genuine, but they will offer a full refund if its not.

I just got it today and im very satisfied with it. it is authentic because i contacted GHD to confirm that amazon is an official stockist.

I chose the white one because its not a very common color in hair straighteners. Pink and Blank can be seen everywhere else. The Box is the size of a shoebox, or even bigger and it came with 2 booklets and the Instructional DVD. Watching it wont waste your time.

it has the reset button for the plug and less than 30 seconds, it beeped in a weird unexpected way and started flashing the LED to announce that its ready for me to use. It gave me 15 more minutes to do everything else since it cut my straightening time in half. Thank you GHD and AMAZON. =)
