Confidence
uniqlo.com is the authentic website of UNIQLO USA LLC, a subsidiary of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., a major Japanese apparel retailer founded in 1984. The domain was registered in December 1998 and has been in continuous operation for over 27 years, with valid SSL encryption and a clean hosting reputation. Our antivirus network shows one outlier detection (Chong Lua Dao) against 90 clean engines, while major browser blocklists and our sandbox flagged nothing — this single detection is likely a false positive or outdated signature. The page content matches a legitimate e-commerce storefront with product categories, promotions, and app download links typical of an established retailer. Business registration confirms UNIQLO USA LLC is an active entity with documented corporate history. Web research shows the site has mixed customer reviews on independent aggregators (an independent review aggregator 1.6/5, Yelp 3.4/5), with complaints focused on order fulfillment and customer service rather than fraud or scam activity — normal friction points for large e-commerce operations. UNIQLO itself publishes official warnings about fake sites using domain variations, confirming this is the legitimate domain.

The page is a JavaScript single-page app that loads product data dynamically.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on uniqlo.com and not a lookalike like u-niqlo.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on uniqlo.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • uniqlo.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 88/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. uniqlo.com presents a valid TLSv1.2 certificate issued by Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01, expiring in 171 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • uniqlo.com is 27.5 years old, registered on 12/28/1998 through MarkMonitor Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 1 out of 91 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged uniqlo.com as malicious or suspicious (1 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. uniqlo.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • uniqlo.com resolves to an IP operated by Amazon Data Services Japan in JP (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • Yes. uniqlo.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
