Trying to use it as a reference price for a John Lewis undersale claim, but on second glance it looks quite like a scam site now.

What do you think?

PS Nikos need not take part in this exercise. Just because you'll only get a virus if it is a scam site given your track record.

Here they do, in some industrial estate in Manchester. Do some more research on that and check the company is registered and checks out okay http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif

Fristore, on the other hand, is perfectly legitimate.

So I gather.

the website has a registrant's address (no gurantee of much) but looks like it was registered on 17 Sep 2012. The address is a storage depot if you google it, but it could be an office next to it i guess

from what I can see. The website says "we've taken the best from our stores (note plural) and put it online" but has no store finder, they only accept payment by bank transfer, and the phone numbers looks like London-based virtual ones.

Scam IMO.

Bank transfer to them and let us know how it goes.

match deal for them to have to honour.

But I might as well say Narnia Electronics and White Witch Goods is selling it cheaper, as that's probably a firmer trading proposition.
