best-electronics-discounts.com any experiences?

Pdj

I found this website using googles shopping search whilst looking for some camera gear. Their pricing is really cheap, and I wondered if anyone has used them before as they look too good to be true?

For instance, a camera kit I just bought from jessops at rock bottom pricing compared to anywhere else (£100 cheaper than any other online retailer I could find at the time), is another £120 cheaper again!

Are they too good to be true?

Also apologies if this is in the wrong forum as I really wasn't sure where to put it, and I cannot post a link asi am a new member.

Thank you very much! A) I'm not gutted I could have gotten my camera cheaper, and b) I won't waste my money on the extra lens that won't turn up. Thought it was too good to be true but good to have some confirmation.

Not to supply full details of any company is actually prohibited by law. They must show full contact details on their website.

Be very wary of businesses with just a PO BOX or email address as you may end up not having any comeback.

Bogus websites are often set up to cash in on popular products. And don't assume that because it appears on a reputable search engine, that makes it a reputable site.

The moral of the story is to always check [if in doubt]. And if it looks to good to be true, it usually is.
