I recently ordered some fans from a website called ostrich.com - Ostriches On Line - Ostrich Meat, Feather Dusters & Boas Fans Pictures, Ostrich Leather & Oil Products - Ostriches On Line ostrich.com. I recieved an e-mail from them asking me to print off the e-mail, fill in the info (including my signature!) and scan it to send back to them. Iv'e noticed that my money has already been taken from them so, why do they need me to sign?

Is there any other trusted sites that I could use to get my fans from?

A rather worried Violette x

afaik ostrich.com are a well known site, I haven't ordered from them myself though.

Hi Violette,

I haven't ordered from ostrich.com so don't know about their procedures, but I know loads of people who have so I don't think you have to worry about the legitimacy of the site!

I've ordered two pairs from there (I do occasional work as a stylist, I can't dance fo toffee!) and yeah the ordering procedure is crazy, but they totally are legit and they were great

That is to insure that there is no ID theft, fraudulent use of credit card or something of that sort. I've had to do the same thing too. Ostrich.com has great products and is very reputable. I do know for a fact that Michelle Lamour and Immodesty Blaize (and maybe Dita) gets all of their ostrich products from Ostrich.com.

Someone asked about this not too long ago (or perhaps it was and time just flies when you're having fun)

But I know Ava Garter posted on that thread her assurances that she uses them and hadn't experienced any problems

I want to see pics too!

I use ostrich.com. I've never had to go through any crazy procedures though, so I'm confused. But their budget fans served me well for a year (I'm still selling them, if anyone's interested!) and I've bought two sets of staves from them for some fixed fans I've made myself (new pair will be revealed soon, once I've worked out the kinks in design ...). The staves are very good quality and practically indestructible! They give you a stability you don't get with bamboo or wooden, but you lose some flexibility. The feathers are reputedly good quality, but I had the budget feathers so they were admittedly lower quality - still looked good on stage though, and fine for a starter. Thier customer service is a bit hit and miss, but generally they're helpful and most definitely legit.
