    i'd find a bigger merchant in the states if I were you. It looks like a new small merchant to me with barely any acknowledge of its existance on the internet.

    Doesn't look fraudlent but I'm sure you'll be able to get goods from a more reputable supplier.

    Make sure you use a credit card and not a debit card for your transaction if you proceed.

    Not sure if this will help but i found this.

    If i could i would, but i cannot so i wont, but maybe one day i will.
  • From the looks of it, doesnt look like its shady much. Small timers I guess. If you decide to buy from them make sure you they offer paypal, that way theres no way you will lose. I asked my wife if she would buy from them and she said why not. So I'm guessing its safe, plus you got all their info, try calling them or asking them questions. Hope this helps.
  • I found their ebay store, based on their feedback they look clean to me.

    Remember the electrical supply in the USA is 110 volts, so you should check that any electrical item is dual voltage and is suitable for the 240 volt supply in the UK

    Hey again, To answer your question is very simple. I purchase a jersey off of a website and they never shipped it, I contacted paypal after 2 weeks and they got my refund in seconds! So yes if you do use paypal then its very safe. Do not use anything else. Tell me how it goes.Cheers!
