It's a Chinese website which means that everything they sell will be badly made counterfeits.
They might send you your goods and, assuming Customs don't impound them, you'll have to pay 20% VAT plus an £8 fee to the Royal Mail. On the other hand they may just steal your money and/or clone your credit card.
Reputable websites will always have a checkable contact address and phone number. This one has neither.
Another good way of checking out a website is to look up the Domain Registration which all sites must have. Not surprisingly, your find uses a fake address which puts Chesterfield in Oxfordshire.
