    Prices seem a bit too good to be true, so I am a bit worried. I have placed an order for a batch of clearance items. Fingers crossed that everything goes OK.

    Well I just placed an order. I guess we now wait and see what happens.. I'm also not sure they will have the stock available as they don't seem to reduce the stock count when you place an order..

    I've used my credit card so hopefully I can claim back the money if this is a dodgy website..

    The stock levels are not real time.
    The adding stuff to the basket is poor.
    Returns policy seems ok.
    It is the greed VS Logic paradox.
    I popped a load of stuff in my basket looked at the total and thought this is never going to arrive. I could be wrong....

    And only one MSE person has purchased from here.

    Looks legit but the stock is not real time so lots of unfilled or partially filled orders.

    mixed reviews I think the bad one might be worth a read.

    there is a way to check who owns the domain name but cant remember what it is I`m sure someone will though.

    all looks pretty kosher, if it is a scam theyve gone to alot of trouble.

    use a credit card not a debit card if its a con just get your credit card company to do a chargeback

    Just tried to do an order with 2 different credit cards and both times it said "Sorry, your order attempt was unsuccessful. Please contact us for further assistance. " Mmm.. No idea what to do now apart from wait until tomorrow to ring.

    EDIt : My fault... put the Town in the Postcode box! Durr. All gone through but as stated no real time monitoring of stock so doubtful will get anything.

    one thing - on orders section under Status does it say "Awaiting payment" in the orders section in the account area?

    many thanks OP
