Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has used this site or knows if it's any good? There's something on there I'd like to buy but I've never heard of the site before and so am a bit wary about putting in my bank details until I know it's genuine and trustworthy! Thanks

    Whois results show the domain has been active for nearly a decade which is a good sign.

    A google map search of the address also shows a commercial premises with the branding 'JIMS' on the outside.

    Nothings is for sure but it seems legit enough. If you choose to purchase something, as always, pay by credit card for some protection.

    Well it seems they have bricks'n'mortar stores so you could do click&collect if you're near Bodmin.

    Can't say I've personally used them but I reckon it's kosher.

    I remember Jim's opening in Redruth when I was a teenager. Looks as though that's still their corporate HQ.

    I'm pleased to see they're still going strong!

    Edit to add:

    There was a similar thread about Warrior a few months ago. Wonder why all these names from my childhood are coming up now? Is it finally time for Cornwall to finish what Trelawney started 🤣
