    but their website is still ON moreover, their checkout system accepts orders, so technically if I pay them over the internet I'd pay to nowhere???Fraud???:(

    Yes, true, most of products links are dead but printable catalog link works fine and one could still easily place and pay stuff, other words "pay and forget about your money":D

    they have a shop so drop in and pay cash. They were reasonable on price but had a tendency to

    a) let their website crash ( the home page is gobble for the past 3 weeks) and lots of product links are borked.
    b) shut down the website when they went on holidays
    c) spam and shill shamelessly

    address

    1 Montenotte view
    Albert Road
    Cork
    tel 021-4322622
    e-mail: corksat@corksat.com
    Technical support : 021-4908404 or support@corksat.com

    and

    some of their website works

    http://www.corksat.com/contact_us.php

    and they are better value than Maplins any day .

    If the shop is still there decide yourself. I wouldn't buy from web site till it shows evidence of getting fixed.
