Anyone used hollywoodshop.co.uk ?

I'm after a furminator and this shop is far cheaper than ebay, it's screaming out to me 'if it sounds too good to be true it is'. I've checked out up to the paypal stage and can't see anything obviously dodgy, anyone used or have any comments?

It looks pretty legitimate. There's a contact address on the website and, although the address on the Domain Registration doesn't match up, it's still in Leicester.

They say in the About Us that Hollywoodshop is the trading name of B*Expressions. When I checked out the address on Google Street View there is actually a shop there called Balloon Expressions, which also has a website.

The only reservations I would have is that they use an 08432 phone number which is unusual. Balloon Expressions on the other hand, which is run from exactly the same premises, has a geographical 0116 number. The other thing is that they take credit card payments over the phone. I wouldn't chance that personally.

To be quite honest they don't really sell that much although they might want to rethink their marketing strategy when it comes to Adult products.

Thanks for the info, they do sell a rather limited and eclectic mix of products!

I thought Paypal offers protection on all purchases, or is that just through their E-Bay site!!!

I have just placed my order with them. PayPal confirmation does say Balloon Expressions. Let you know if I get any problems.
