Although their website has a geographic phone number (0203.....) there does not seem to be an address. I don't think this is legal for a UK based company. Are they based abroad?
have you rung the 0203 number?0 -
Hong Kong I think.0

hi,im sure ive read somewhere that they are sending the goods from hong kong,im bloody annoyed at myself that ive fallen into this trap as im usually pretty good as avoiding these sites,false advertising is what they are doing saying they have these items in stock and taking the money,not sure if im going to get anywhere with this0

You're also going to get hit by import duty when the goods finally make it to the UK.0
-
even though they say free delivery on the site ?0

Delivery may well be free but if the goods are over £15 then VAT is likely to be added and customs duty if the value is above £135.
There will also be a handling fee added by the delivery company.0 -
You didn't read the 'conditions of use' before ordering, did you?0
