Anyone used Xpert4u.co.uk

I wondered if anyone has used the above website for purchasing laptops or anything actually?
My BIL has seen a really good deal on a laptop (no details at the moment), but hasn't used them before and can't find any reviews.
Any help appreciated.

If I read their "About Us" page right, they don't actually sell anything. They are just another price comparison site, so when they point you to the company that is supposedly offering the best price, you need to investigate ~that~ website to see if it's a scammer based in China.

FWIW, I've stopped using price comparison websites, because they almost never find the best price. I suspect that this is because they only ever find sellers that have agreed in advance to pay them a percentage for each sale that they forward on.

The name itself makes me cringe, I would never go near them.

Despite my scepticism, they appear to be a comparison site. They don't sell anything. When you click BUY, the site redirects you to an online merchant (comet etc). They appear to be making their money through the referral link when you click the buy button.

The site is owned my MSOLS LTD who have been represented on MSE

but don't assume that is a good thing.
