Advice Needed - www.shopbyprice.co.uk

[admin_exported]

I was thinking about making a purchase from this website as they seem fairly cheap. As I am careful about parting with my hard-earned cash, has anyone used this website and can tell me if they are reliable and trustworthy?

Cheers in advance!

On the face of it, the website looks dodgy. They've hardly put their address......finally found it after deeper search. The address is genuine, & is recognised by Royal Mail. I searched the regsitration number & got this: http://www.do-business.net/Indexer/Company/Tuned-in-Ltd

Their phone number is 02380332626. Give them a ring & check it out.

I also checked whois & got this report:

Always be dubious of websites that don't have any contact details - other than a non regional phone number, you have to give them your details and they get in touch with you.

If we see the Tannoy rep anytime soon we can ask who they are - if they're a genuine Tannoy Uk dealer, he'll know. Same goes for Pioneer and Onkyo.
