2.Our company (Wanlro Company) is a new electronic enterprise in our local place, so with the preferential policies of zero custom and low tax rates.

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.

what do you think ^

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
Address:457 Oak Hollow Dr
City:Sperryville St:VA ZIP:22773
Conty: Devon
