    I would be very careful. I've looked at their site, which on the face of it appears legit, but the forums you mention raise several points.

    1. the prices they quote are net of VAT, so may not be as competitive as they seem.

    2. They may be shipping from the USA, so you could have warranty problems and may not be covered by UK trading standards legislation. Also you may have to pay import duties on top of VAT

    3. The UK address they give appears to be a mailbox only and the location does not tie in with the location of the UK telephone number they give.

    Stick to a reputable company (although I would not buy via the TV as one answer seems to suggest). I addition to Amazon, one of the very best UK mail order companies (and they do have a shop in Norwich as well) is http://www.wexphotographic.com/ - they consistently win awards for service and reliabilty

    Here you will find a step by step guide which will hopefully give you a better and deeper insight into how it is possible for you to make money from Binary Options trading https://tr.im/UMoIm

    You will first need to know what exactly Binary Options trading is, whilst this may seem like common sense many people just have a vague idea of what is involved and the exact risks attached to any trade, so make sure you fully understand the difference for example between actually buying a fixed asset and trading in Binary Options as the two could not be more different.

    Next you will need to become something of an investigative journalist when you start trading in Binary Options and by this we mean you need to have a nose for a news story that is going to have a dramatic effect on whatever it is you intend to trade, and one way for you to do this is to keep fully abreast of all the daily financial news stories as this is the only way you are going to be able to make an informed decision on the movement of any Binary Options you are trading.

    No, but if it's noticably cheaper than you can get at a reputable dealer such as Amazon, Jessops, and the like, you are asking for problems. They don't have a good reputation.

    The only cheaper one I have heard of that does have a decent reputation is digitalrev that is based in Hong Kong. It claims that you won't pay any import duty on the goods and this is reported as true by reviewers. Any goods won't have a European warranty though, so if any repairs are necessary it'll need to be returned to Asia.

    You pays your money and you takes your chance, as they say.

    I've never heard of them.

    The best deals are usually on QVC, Ideal World shopping channels

    even Argos tv has good deals

    I'd check them first as they are relaible companies

    if it seems too good to be true as road traders says it probably is

    they could be operating outside of the uk, they have an address but it says you can't contact them by that address, sounds iffy

    i found this website
