best brands direct? Red Ds Lite?

Options
Has anyone heard of this company? A friend of mine has ordered a Red Ds Lite from them and I was a little concerned as I have never heard of them. Also I have not seen on any other website DS Lites in red? It states its limited edition?

If anyone has had any dealings with this company I would be interested to know!

    thread is almost a year old so possibly ok....also you can use paypal and if funded with a credit card there is added security....
    but I think I would pass on this one

    It is a limited edition colour.....................I've got one and in the US it's called Cranberry & Black :D . Haven't used the company before though - sorry!
  • Thank you for that, I know she paid via a credit card so hopefully she will be ok! I found it odd that I have never heard of red ones before whenever I have been looking for DS, so being a fan of this site became very suspicious!

  • Definitely a special edition in the USA. Bought one myself whilst recently in Chicago.
  • My mates ds came yesterday, all ok, quick delivery and no customs charge, quite a relief cos i thought she was gonna lose out.

    Some bad experiences reported through the McAfee Site Advisor. Definitely a site to be careful with in the future.
  • BESTPRICEDBRANDS are a US company pretending to be a UK company, the prices are good, delivery is generally OK for this type of business.. BUT.....
    if you do have a problem of any sort you are unlikely to get hold of anyone.
    They do not list a phone number & will not answer emails, I have a faulty product (Nintendo DS Lite) Nintendo are not interested because it clearly states on the packaging that the item MUST NOT BE SOLD OUTSIDE THE US & couple of other non Euro countries, therefore you can not register the product with the manufacturer for warranty.

    THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS.

    Wish I had known that they were outside the UK, Charlatans........
