Post by: Kent on 18 October 2008, 23:58: I wanted to know if they are an ok company.

They donâ€™t state that they are VAG so assume not. £39.99 each? Is that the going price?

Cheers

Sounds ok if they are replacements. Sorry I was just saying the non oem stuff is not as good thats all mate, just aadvice really. Never heard of these guys so don't really know. The site looks alright so thats a start although I can't see any security symbols on there.................

I wouldn't go and order anything too expensive from a store I didn't know until I had some dealing with them.

Post by: Diamond Hell on 19 October 2008, 09:04: Well they've got contact addresses for the web designer and the business, which is a start.

However, there's no company registration details in sight and no VAT number.

As it's a commercial website these are key pieces of information that must be included to comply with UK legislation. Full details here (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/12/21/new_web_email_regulation/).

If you buy from them use a credit card - that way you're protected. DO NOT used Paypal - you've got NO protection with Paypal IMO.

Heh, £10 says they're buying at trade rates from GSF for some bits and selling them on with a margin.
