    i cant find the bargains page but im not sure id put it there anyway.

    just wanna know if anyone has bought off this site. ive emailed them and they say they are a Chinese company and deliver to your door once youve paid them.

    im very wary but the prices are too good to be true.

    All they accept is wire transfer for payment so you can forget about it and a hotmail address as a contact. :)

    3.Low transportation cost; our company can delivery the goods to you at low shipping cost because of the long-term good cooperation relation with UPS、DHL、EMS、FedEx and TNT.

    friend of mine works in UPS' IT dept., i'm gonna ask him if he can check these guys up. if they're legit (or as legit as the site could possibly look) i'm gonna max out my bank account... to the max.

    Try http://www.laptopsdirect.ie the site looks dodgy as hell, and you'll find loads of people complaining about it. One of the lads bought a tablet from it, and is dead happy with it. Got it very cheap, as well.

    Why don't they at least try and make it look plausible. Price their stuff about €100 cheaper than any one else. They'd probably catch more people that way.

    Apart from everything that has already been said, as suppliers and manufacturers they don't seem to have any of their own brand items, and only sell high street items like dell, samsung etc. It would be more believeable if it was a Generic, possibly rubbish Chinese laptop.

    Also, look at this link from the other thread:
    http://www.wanlro.com/news.asp?id=104 - all the addresses are the first line of a US address and the second line is an English county. Name:Rene Paley
