    It's a new site opening next week, the comp is a promotion to increase newsletter sign ups so they can send you emails once it's live.

    I'm not saying its a legit site - but its quite possible just to simply be their website if they don't have an online store.
    People don't know what they want until you show them.

    It's founded by the same guy who started poundland, after he sold his shares for £50 million the other year, he thinks he can reproduce it online.

    Minimum order is likely to be quite high, to circumvent postage costs I would imagine.

    It actually makes some sense, do away with the overheads of the retail shops, and just use the distribution network. He'd still have the huge buying power, but with less expenditure, which could mean better deals, or more likely better margins :rotfl:

    Gizmodo rumours a £10 minimum spend with £3.65 delivery (better have some good deals to make that palatable).

    I reckon it's pretty legit. Spam accounts at the ready!

    !

    This is confirmed , now site is working !
    £3.65 is standard delivery charge to anwhere in GB. Extra charges to NI or Republic ( though I cannot see anywhere where it states what these extra charges would be )
