Anyone used this company?

Afternoon everyone,

I'm wondering if people have heard/used this site before :

https://www.buy4ds.co.uk

I'm looking to spend almost £100 but want to be sure its legit.

Anyone?

    Whenever I find a site I do not know I google the site and 'review'. This generally gives access to any reviews posted by previous customers. There are several websites which do this.

    I have googled the above and there are no reviews showing up. It may be very new I suppose? :confused:

    Using a WHOIS lookup, the site was registered precisely a week ago, on 09-Jan-2008. Not that there's anything wrong with new businesses...
    Using google mapping, the road the site is registered to is a residential street in Lancing, West Sussex, not a shop premises.
  • Thanks folks.

    Now the biggie...... Would you buy from them? I'm really glad i asked!!!

  • No, I wouldn't...they are middle men, marking up products imported from China. You can buy the products yourself directly from China for a lot less.

    Sugar honey,

    If you do buy from this site then make sure its over £100 AND USE A CREDIT CARD. That way, if it is a scam your credit card will get your money back.

    Personally though, i'd not buy anything.

    I'd agree, wouldnt order anything there myself, I got my R4 from gameyeeeah.com but there are a sellers that ship internationally for less.

    If a website is that new with no reviews, I'd order elsewhere.

    Fair enough you are protected by your CC if you order over £100 but I'd rather have the protection of ordering from somewhere I know has had good feedback/reviews.

  • Thanks for all your time and thoughts! I decided that your advice was spot on and gave the site a wide berth and went through Deal Extreme. Alot cheaper but i'll have to wait for approx 3 weeks for delivery but for the peace of mind..... PRICELESS

    Do i sound like that advert for Mastercard? LOL

    Thanks folks!
