I'd have to agree with jolly_roger and advise caution with this site. It's reasonably well put together but the fact that it has only been registered for 1 year rings alarm bells. A legitimate business would register their domain for longer. Fraudulent websites tend to only pay for a short timeframe as the chance their site will be taken down is higher.

Additionally, they are using GMail as their official mail provider for contact. This again would be highly unusual for a legitimate business to do.

Also, the telephone number they have provided is a Hong-Kong mobile phone number. Why would a legitimate company not have a landline? Suspicious.

I'd stay well away and find a site / store you know and trust.

*Edit to Add: Also take a look at the About Us and Supplier pages. Won't go into detail here but you will notice that the details aren't quite consistent with the nature of the webstore :wink:

Here to help in any way I can
