Hi all.

Has anybody ever purcahsed from this site. I was just about to purchase some good and was about to enter my bank details when i noticed that the little padlock doesnt appear in the bottom corner of the internet explorer to such the site is secure?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James

    I've used them a couple of times, never had a problem. The padlock must have been there for me, I wouldn't have ordered otherwise. Try ringing them to order if you're not sure :)

  • Thanks,

    Think I will ring them - dont really want to risk doing it over the net withoout it being secure but also dont want to miss these unbeatable prices.

    M&M Sports are an excellent company, I've bought quite a bit of stuff off them, all with no problems.

    The site is secure, just right click on the bit where you enter the card details and select properties, it brings up

    "SSL 3.0, RC4 with 128 bit encryption (High); RSA with 1024 bit exchange"

    They just need to make it clearer.
  • I've ordered quite a bit of M & M so far. No problems. Sometimes better to ring to check availability of items as you're ordering.

    It dosent need a padlock, if you look at the address when you pay it starts htpps which means its secured

    Anyway, the padlock appears for me.
