Has anyone bought an item from Phisco Grande?

They're a US-based online retailer offering the lowest price for an iPhone 6 64Gb (£333) according to https://www.which.co.uk

    Store Information

    doesn't inspire much confidence.

    And don't forget about the warranty.
    [STRIKE]And I see $705 that at the best exchange rate is almost £500, not £333[/STRIKE]. [Sorry, it was 6 plus, 6 is $500).

    As above re warranty and what used to be called the sale of goods act now CRA .
    Pointless saving x quid if you have to post to USA .
    £500 + 20% vat +RM custom handling fee circa £20 .
