Yeah you have to dig to find them but go and read some of the posts people have made about them...

Like I said a friend who's an internet security expert and he says they are using a proxy server for a start and that would have his alarm bells ringing.

Why use a proxy unless you are doing something naughty or hiding something...

The number of people slagging them out weighs vastly the number praising them.

I just looked at the website. Top right it says best deals from the USA to your door.Isn't hat a rather large hint that they are actually a US company? Or have they just added that?

Edit: Also under "about us" it clearly gives the Los Angeles address. I can't see that they are hiding what they are really.
Here's some reading on the matter:

We are getting a large amount of refurbished / ex-demo equipment in the next few days. There will be quite a few K20D cameras amongst this, as well as lots of lenses. As soon as I have details of availability I will post on here first.

My dad (I dont have a debit/credit card) cancelled his card before payment was taken out and instructed the bank not to pay them. They also phoned him and he let them have it!!!!

So yeah a happy ending fortunately!

Why use a US source? All that hassle and only a 1 yr International Warranty.
They are not a US source. They are actually in the US. I have a good friend who's a internet security specialist and he said they are using a proxy...

In my experience most people who use a proxy are trying to hide something!!

I would go to SRS but I am on a limited budget and can't afford it from them.

Saying that tho I very nearly lost 550 quid but it's now been sorted. Just pays to read the small print huh. This company is relying on peoples naivety to get them sales!

Do not use this website.

I am after a K20D and they are doing it for £549 inc the 18-55mm lens. I tried to order and was having fun and games. I decided to cancel the order and got a queer message (see image). Then I decided to find out a bit more about them.

NIGHTMARE... To say the least. They are in the USA and they have been known to send the wrong stuff to customers. You will also more than likely get stuffed with import duty.

If anything by the way people have been ranting about these people I would steer well clear!

These batteries are superb...

A full day shooting and they are still showing full charge! Fair enough I didn't use auto focus. I am very impressed.
