    Has anyone bought an item from Phisco Grande?

    They're a US-based online retailer offering the lowest price for an iPhone 6 64Gb (€458) according to www.which.co.uk

    (I have no connection with company)

    Surprise was recommenced by Wich, it does look like a Scam website.

    Had a quick look at the website at 1st look website that have Western Union are to Scam, also the prices look too good to be true.

    They say been in business for 10 years, the address is in the US but Google maps show just a house, if they been in business for soo long they must have a warehouse or proper office to have it as register address.

    Domain only register since Nov 2015.

    Looks like they access paying by credit card but the payment provider in UK for a US company.

    Scam adviser show as "Site is United Kingdom based ,but may also be from Russian Federation"

    I've done a quick search and I've found zero mention of Phisco Grande on www.which.co.uk
    Between that and what nava listed I wouldn't touch the site

    OP got a link backing up the recommendation?

    Not sure if the link will work as it might require member sign-in

    The link works, all the others appear to be UK based.

    You are very likely to be hit for tax & duty and admin fees, so take that into account, it is not the cheapest on that list if you take those charges into account.

    And the fact the site looks dodgy means I wouldn't bother with it at all.

    I think the same as you, still surprise that Wich.co.uk have it listed, maybe they didn't do the background work before adding it.
