This thread is so strange.  New posters popping up all over the place, some with tales of woe, others saying it's all legitimate.  Weird reviews appearing in the same timeframe.  The OP popping up sporadically to scold those of us who've been sceptical from the outset.

It's all going a bit Four Seasons Total Landscaping.   

So what do you think this forum and thread is for? Reviews and sharing experiences and your scepticism as well :-)

Indeed, I'm just surprised at the number of new posters suddenly emerging to comment.  Has someone launched a facebook group or something, or is the OP in bare feet a lot?

I think they may have just been pushed up the "Shopping" options by Google as that's how I came across them today (and hence why I have now arrived at this thread).

I registered and commented on this thread for others to see because we can’t be censored here. Otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered

Having read a lot of this thread - I can’t yet make out - has anyone actually received anything? Anything at all?

Does not appear anything delivered even though all the regular posters on the forum are found wrong by the OP and other new posters .

Whole thread apart from OP reads as spam  to push up the Google rankings  .

All I ever have read was: "I'll be receiving it soon, I'll post news."

Tell me that's not suspicious.

Besides, Google Maps shows this is not an actual business location based on the address from 3PP's website.

Nope.

And another new poster pops up to contribute!

Not found wrong, tedious and distracting from the subject of the thread, definitely.
I don't see the point in dropping a mocking / almost gleeful reply without any trace of being constructive 

"Whole thread apart from OP reads as spam  to push up the Google rankings" - would be a very strange way for the website to do their SEO

Small update:

I just looked up their business address on Google Maps and this is what came up...



Does this look like a legit business store selling electronic products? No, clearly.

Don't trust Google maps or Google earth for exact house or buildings numbers as they are often wrong as they appear to be in this case.
20 high Street is further up the road (something that can be confirmed by looking at the visible numbers in the pictures) but even if the building you showed was correct, you've missed one important bit of info:

I'm not saying that it's not a dodgy company, simply that using an innacurate 9+ year old Google maps photo doesn't prove anything.

To be fair - he or she did say they hadn't received anything.
