Did I purchase a fake nutribullet?

[i-love-elliebellemoo]

Hi everyone, I purchased a nutribullet this afternoon on here. I have since discovered there are fake ones and now I'm worried. I emailed the seller and they replied that they have reputable suppliers but the nutribullet website states they are the only Australian resellers. Can anyone offer any advice here I am so confused.

I have bought one from target, the new 900watt 15 piece set that this seller is selling

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NutriBullet-15P-Juicer-Mixer-Extractor-Vegetable-Blender-900W-Gold/151894...

I felt a bit sad, that I paid $159 at target and thought that was an awesome price, where as the exact same thing is being sold here for wayyy less. How can this be fake. This set has just launched in Australia and is exclusive to target. 

This seller has sold about 430 of these and all the buyers seem happy. Can anyone tell me if these are real or fake. If they're real, I would probably return to target and buy from here!

maria, in that listing they say "gift from a friend". They have either a stupid or generous friend if they have more than one for sale

If they actually exist - no selling history apart from the Nutribullets - then they are likely to be fake anyway.

With buying from Target you get a real warranty, which you most certainly won't with an eBay purchase. 

"edit" missed the "gift" bit slr........................"slaps self"

429 gifts from a friend? FAKE! The feedback is probably OK because the buyers opened the box and it looked real. Nothing to say that in a few weeks it won't malfunction, including catching on fire. As already mentioned, far better getting one from a real shop. At least you know it's the real deal and not some poor quality knock off that could burn your house down.

Thankyou everyone. I feel better now. I have put received mine yet but I am sooo excited 🙂

maria, did you keep the target one or did you buy one of the cheaper 430 unwanted gifts from the eBay seller?

[minas-82]

I bought the target one for $159 first, then when the 15% off sale came on eBay, I bought again from target eBay store for $135. Will return the fits one. None have arrived because of holidays but I'm sooo excited :))

I bet the seller is not going t be too excited when you want to return the item because you got it cheaper.

But I guess as it was Target the usual rules don't apply.

Does Target offer change of mind refunds.....you won't get the shipping cost back you know?

I can see you going on a lot of seller's party lists with that attitude to sellers.

It looks like it was free shipping both from eBay and the Target website. They do accept change of mind returns, both instore and by post, with conditions. They will refund using the original payment method, so if PayPal was used, the card attached to the PayPal account must be presented for the refund.
It can also be posted back. Shipping labels are provided. Depending on the reason for the return depends on whether they charge for the postage costs or not.

I also got a fake/counterfeit Nutribullet. The Nutribullet I bought was given to my daughter for Christmas.  My daughter notice straight away that the item was counterfeit.  I rang 1300 BULLET and I gave them the serial number of the product.  They confirmed the product I received was counterfeit. The lady on the phone advised me that they don't sell Nutribullets to a third party.  I email the seller and he refused to refund.  I have now taken it to Paypal awaiting to hear from seller. 

I saw on this noticeboard that a member said all Nutribullets on Ebay are fake.  This is incorrect.  I just bought one again on Ebay from Target.  Only buy Nutribullets from recommended retailers.  If you are unsure ring 1300 BULLET or go to their Facebook page. I hope this help some people.
