This site looks dodgy to me.

http://www.salemaxfor.co.uk/


I need some new trainers for the gym but I don't like the colours they have in the shops. I joined with this site (see link above) and have found a pair I want but I got no coupon code, no email from them when I joined, and I sent them an email a week ago about sizes and I have yet to receive a reply.


Does anyone have any info?

    Tip: If you ever come across a website that doesnt contain an office address for you to write to in case anything goes wrong, they're probably outside of the EU or within the EU and breaking the law.

    In either case....you may find it a struggle to get your money back/a satisfactory resolution if anything goes wrong. Of course there are trusted/established international sellers, I just mean err on the side of caution :)

    Also be careful when ordering from sites like this as you may be charged import fee's (and a handling fee).

    Luckily I got to the "checkout" and came off the site. I won't be visiting the site again.

    There's the other issue of EMS as a postage option. This is a Chinese postal service.

    Massive red flag if you're looking for branded goods.
