    Well there not open sundays according to there website, there in penzance. Also when checking out there claimed address, theres no such business coming up in that post code in penzance.

    Personally i think its a con. Too much doesnt add up.

    Prices are below the trade prices even the big national chains get them at. Descriptions stolen from other sites. No continuity to their products.

    Ah now found something.

    Also check there claimed parent company sgelectricalslive.co.uk was only created 21st december 2008. A whole 6 days ago.

    CON CON CON CON SPAM SPAM SPAM!

    AVOID THE COMPANY

    added, registered address Of this company is

    15 bread street
    penzance
    cornwall

    Im just printing out orders so happy to help, i know a lot of the tricks for promoting sites to make them look more established (for legit companies though).

    That site has so many alarm bells ringing, unless you could physically walk through the door, buy one, pay with a credit card (so your insured as its over £100) i wouldnt touch it with a barge pole.

    Its like an a to z of what not to do, its worse than the chinese sites selling ipods lol
