Spotted this, but unsure about the site. You have to register your CC details to join the site/before even ordering <

that has set off some warning bells.

Has anyone bought from this site?

eek

The retail price is wrong and the site is selling below cost so i'd love to know where they get their stock from (if they are actually buying any).

I remember this site from the past. Apart from the alarm bells I can't remember any details tho.

Thats a very good price. Apple store has them for £152 and they are refurbished. Ebay are selling them for £150 (new). Could be a small profit for someone.

I never buy from a site that doesn't have a physical contact address on it. This one doesn't. My alarm bells are ringing too!

ficticious address + postcode for the website registration

I think this is one to avoid big time. No idea where they are based, where they ship from, how to contact them, where to send the Trading Standards officers etc.
Remember - if something looks too good to be true it invariably is.

ficticious address + postcode for the website registration

Absolutely - looks like a fraud, but getflashing appears on pricerunner as a supplier with its address given as cannon wharf business centre london se8

Reading between the lines of their T&C's it seems that if you sign up you are agreeing to some sort of spyware, web monitoring/redirection service as well. Certainly registers as 'suspious' on my radar.

Thanks for your investigations!

Think I will give it a miss, I did run into it via pricerunner tho so I was not sure.

Like said b 4, if it looks too good to be true ...... It is!

I've dipped my toe in for this... if anything goes bad my CC company will sort it :j

And in the meantime your card is cloned, and someone goes on a jolly. Things like this aren't covered out of thin air and credit card companies will revoke other offers to cover such costs to themselves. I think you should take some responsibility
