If you're going to buy through a Chinese grey importer you may as well get a better-than-an-ipad-but-half-the-price Android tab

Buying direct from China, there is almost no change of you getting a genuine product. It will almost certainly be a crappy knock-off.

And you have no rights in UK law if anything goes wrong.

There are some half-decent Chinese companies out there selling stuff, but it's always unbranded (or their own invented brand), and you need to be very careful concerning build quality, electrical safety, and so on.

A lot of people on their Facebook page complaining that they haven't received what they ordered. I think I might give this one a miss.

(Also seems to be something not working with the websites security certificate.)

That entire site sounds like its been fed through Google Translate when you read things like "You could submit us a ticket. You will get reply within one to three working day normally."

Sadly the days are long gone when .co.uk actually meant it was a UK company, now any man and his dog from anywhere in the world can get one.

Hasn't it always been that way?

Checked it out on TrustPilot.

Out of 1249 reviews they've got 3/5 stars.
It seems as though a lot of buyers have the issue of their item not arriving, and it's quite a bit of hassle to deal with as they're based abroad. There's also a lot of feedback to show they are a scam website.

Finally, a lot of those 1249 reviews look fake!

Be cautious - I wouldn't trust it personally.

Toby or Toby Jug is slang for mug, possible clue there.
