I'm always suspect of designer websites! Everything seems to be going cheap!

    Dunno. Looks a little amateur rather than dodgy. Nice clobber though.

    domain name is registered to the owner with home address, contact page has address and VAT, looks legit, if a little amateur...

    Companies House has them listed and nothing particularly dodgy seems to be going on.

    Could just be a cottage industry though.

    Terms and Conditions are definitely not professional. If it is a legitimate site, the owner should correct those as soon as possible otherwise they'll find themselves in hot water either with TS or through small claims.

    I ordered something on Sunday and now wonder if I made a boo boo. Their prices are cheaper than Coggles.com which has made me worry!
  • Don't be off put by cheap prices though. That's the facet of UK logic that gets me - not specifically you OP, but I love that we moan when things are expensive, and then when we find something cheap we presume it's dodgy!!

    It may well be a high street business that the owner had to close due to trading conditions, and he's trying to sell of remaining costs to recoup some costs.

    Because, to be fair, when designer gear is sold at silly low prices it more often than not turns out to be fake.

    If he's clearing stock then why go to the bother of setting up a website and selling it at a lot less? If it's genuine he could stick it on eBay and get close to RRP.

    Of course we can't tell if it's fake from the photos but I would be very wary indeed.
