What do you think about this shop?

I found one site www.justcam4you.com. What do you think about? Why prices are so low? I whant to purchase Pentax K20D Black + 18-55mm Lens Kit. Sale Price is €470.00 and shipment to Stuttgart is free! Is this possible? Someone bought something there? To buy it? Or any alternatives?

Sorry, my english is very bad!

A tricky one. I should start by saying I have no experience of this retailer at all (others may have?) but I'm tempted to say it looks 'too good to be true' - the prices are very (unusually) competitive. There are logos on there from McAffee and COMODO but they don't actually hot-link to those organisations (I would have thought they should??) and a quick scout around some other comments on the web (just type the name of the shop into google) suggests that you may wish to do a bit of further research and exercise caution.

Hope that helps

Postage is never free. It's just included in the sales price.
So take off about € 30 for s/h insured and you end up with €440.
Before you jump in, ask the seller about warranty issues, grey market supply etc....
The cheapest kit I could find from a well regarded dealer in The Netherlands is found here.

So...maybe some alarm bells could go off???

Why is the phone number so strange for their W2 store? Doesn't seem to be a London number. I drive by that area plenty of times and never noticed anything. Might be worth checking. I am due to pass by there again within the next few days I should pop in and check it.

Prices seem exceptional

EDIT: You beat me to it Mike.

Well spotted. I was about to suggest that this is an American "front" site as the date format on the thawte security logo is reverse.

They have only been going for just over a year.
There Thawte cert. though has only been going since 26-09-2009, that's abit worrying though.
Just checked and they don't even have a VAT reg. no. steer clear....

Actually nothing wrong with the phone number except the way it has been laid out ... they put it as 0203-0868-297 whereas the "standard" way would be 020 3086 8297

However, I too would be suspicious about the location and would suggest caution.

Also, there is no VAT number or company number on the website

Hi just caught this thread yes it does look a bit odd thanks to Mikep,
it was advertised on a google add on the right hand side of this forum, anyway if in doubt don't

Sheldon Square where the W2 store is apparently located is an office complex with real shops. It is also across the road from Paddington station if anyone wants to visit a bricks and mortar shop.

There you go: 1 Sheldon Square is a Novotel Hotel!

But... London is 0207 or 0208

That's my point. London is 0207 and not 0203
and when ringing this number there is a msg saying please enter the extension followed by the hash key.

I am due to pass by the area but won't even bother to drop by the road and locate the premises. Total waste of time and effort as I see it,

NO, London is 020 ... within London you need dial just the last EIGHT digits.

London was originally 01 xxx xxxxx but when more numbers were needed and the 01 code was recovered 0171 and 0181 were put in place - change of area code only and then eventually migrated those area codes to 020 but numbers in the 0171 area had a leading 7 added to their local number and in 0181 a leading 8. The 7xxx xxxx and 8xxx xxxx blocks are filling up and OFCOM are now issuing numbers from the 3xxx xxxx blocks for people in London. In future there could be numbers in the 4,5 and 6 blocks too.

edit to add
The 3xxx xxxx numbers have been allocated from about mid 2005 onwards.

WRONG - London in not 0207 and 0208 but 020. The digits following the 020 can be anything from 1xxx xxxx through to 9xxx xxxx. You will only see 3, 7 and 8 numbers as those are the only ones so far allocated by OFCOM.
