I just ordered LO a Sophie off amazon. After the fact, I read the reviews and some said that it was a fake ?!?!? Have any of you ordered your Sophie off amazon ? Was it a fake ?
-
I have ordered a Sophie from Amazon, and it was genuine. I purchased Sophie about a year and a half ago.
-
@yin: hmm. Folks were talking about the spots rubbing off easily but since the paint is "food based" I would think that would happen with a true Sophie. I hope mine isn't a fake
-
I ordered it off of Amazon a few months ago. It's the real thing. We actually left our Sophie named Claude at my parent's house this weekend. I'm debating on getting another one since it's one of his favorite teethers.
-
Did you buy yours directly from Amazon or from another retailer through Amazon? Amazon's been great with issues I had with curtains I bought from them so if it turns out to be a fake, just contact them!
-
I ordered mine early December off Amazon, and there was nothing about it that seemed fake.
-
I didn't buy one from amazon for this reason. I paid full price in a department store for it, which is something I rarely do.
-
We bought ours from Amazon and it's real.
-
@swedishfish: I'm not sure ! I was prime eligible. Does that mean its straight from amazon ??
-
@coacheswife123: Usually, it tells you if it's shipped directly from Amazon below the price. I believe that Sophie ships from Amazon not a third party retailer.
-
I bought mine from Amazon and it seems real enough...
-
I think it depends on if it's a 3rd party vendor or not. I read all those reviews about the paint peeling. I've been burned with a fake before (3rd party vendor, a different product though) - this was the reason why I ended up not buying Sophie for DD.
-
I bought several off amazon... they seem legit to me
-
I'm guessing if it is fake it won't come with the "papers" ?? This seems crazy to me that there is this sort of issue surrounding a teething toy!
-
I bought mine off amazon about a year ago and it seems real? I haven't noticed anything weird about it. But how can you tell I'd it's fake?
-
@MungBean: idk !!?? I called amazon to see! They said they get the product straight from Vulli and assured me it was not a fake- I guess I will check it out when I get it on Wednesday !
-
@coacheswife123: it comes with papers? Sophie is a high class teething toy!
-
@swedishfish: I didn't realize until I started googling ??!! This is totally insane ! I feel like I'm buying a LV handbag, not a teething toy!
-
@coacheswife123 - Oh my goodness - I should write a review! I'm not sure ours were "fake" but the ones I received from Amazon were not the same quality as the one I purchased from BRU.
Here's the story: We purchased our first one from BRU - and then the squeaker broke (our fault) and my son loved the silly thing so I wanted to purchase a new one. The first one I purchased from Amazon I thought was a fake - damaged box, different texture, not as nice of seam finishes on the rubber (?), poor paint job, etc....nothing horribly different just not the same quality as our other Sophie. So, I returned it saying it was fake/damaged and they sent me a new one - same thing! So I just gave up and decided to live w/ a squeak-less Sophie.
-
@theknest: maybe I should take it into BRU to compare !
-
We got one off our Amazon registry, and it was a fake for sure. The spots rubbed off and stained Chloe's clothing and skin. It was disgusting, and we threw it away.
-
BTW -- ours came with papers, too.
I contacted Vulli directly and was told that the spots should not smear or rub off. Ours most definitely did.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: ewww! Ugh I'm just going to send the darn thing back and get one from the store. This is crazy!
-
@mrsjumprope - us too! Papers included!
-
@coacheswife123 - Return it! But make sure they pay for return shipping!
-
Just bought one for DS, looks very legit. The squeak works perfectly.
