    Hi all, came across this website at the bottom of the forum page: www.lightinthebox.com, just wondering if anyone has bought anything off it, their cycling gear seems fairly reasonable, (have not checked their shipping costs yet)

    They accept payment by Western Union? That's....unusual.

    In fact, have a look at their info page about Western Union:
    For Western Union payments
    • Beneficiary: CHENG CHENG
    • First Name: CHENG
    • Last Name: CHENG
    • Country: CHINA
    Considering the 'one child' policy in China, you'd think parents would put a bit more thought into naming their kids....

    Being a bit more serious, from googling around the site seems 'legit' in that they do actually send the stuff to you, however it quite often will be fake/cheap knockoff's rather than the real deal.

    I think they are legit, same sort of thing as DealExtreme, you are getting stuff of variable quality direct from China.

    I haven't used them but have used DX and they are pretty good.
