It says you can pay by Paypal which is normally reassuring but if you try to checkout that option is not available so I'd be wary.

Judging by the “about us” - avoid! Sounds like a bot written site

Also the address given is 54A Broadway, LONDON, E15 1NG give that a google and it's shared between a Chinese restaurant, women's clothing shop and the management offices for the Stratford shopping centre.
Perhaps give those three a call as the website doesn't give a phone number

Had a mate who went on one of these sites, all in English, GBP etc. The prices were really, really low. He ordered something and when he paid it flashed up Chinese characters, took his money and an automated email told him payment received. Next day another email promptly told him that his order had been packed. Following day another email told him his item was being shipped and a delivery date of 3 weeks hence as it was coming from China.
Over the 3 week period he got prompt update emails and then around the delivery date a small parcel dropped through the letterbox. I can't remember what he ordered but it was bulky. He opened the parcel and it was from said company and was a very cheap pair of knockoff Raybans- very tacky. Back to the website and he looked up the return policy and fair enough if the order wasn't correct he could send it back. The cost to ship it back was about £90, more than the original item cost. Clever. Very hard to prove exactly what happened.
He went down the route of trying a refund but you are dealing with a Chinese company who are scammers for lots of polite emails actually doing nothing until the website vanished.
They set up, offer ludicrously low prices, Get maybe a couple of hundred sales, send out a bit of tat to muddy the waters then vanish with the money.
He said he should have twigged when he saw apart from the stupid prices, the same prices appear on different items despite some items being obvious more expensive than others.
Edit: yep just looked at the site. The returns policy say - “We'll handle the shipping costs for you (unless the reason for the return is a simple change of mind, you ordered the incorrect item or you simply prefer a different item – then you pay shipping back to us)”
. So in effect they dictate what it costs to return. It will be more than you paid for the item.

That reminds me of Lock Stock.
Listen to this one then; you open a company called the Arse Tickler's F*ggot Fan Club. You take an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding d*ldos, sell it a bit with, er... I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", latest and greatest in sexual technology. Guaranteed results or money back, all that bol**cks. These deals cost twenty-five each; a snip for all the pleasure they are going to give the recipients. They send a cheque to the company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five. You put these in the bank for two weeks and let them clear. Now this is the clever bit. Then you send back the cheques for twenty-five pounds from the real company name, Arse Tickler's F*ggot Fan Club, saying sorry, we couldn't get the supply from America, they have sold out. Now you see how many of the people cash those cheques; not a single soul, because who wants his bank manager to know he tickles arses when he is not paying in cheques!

"use your noggin"
Many don't. This site will make A LOT of money from the gullible.
My mother in law for example, TWICE got scammed within a six month period. Firstly it was an xbox for crimbo and then a 5 piece furniture set for the summer.
The scammers know what people are looking for and when they will be looking for it. Pay for a google ad knowing the oldies can't be arsed to price comparison (or scroll) and they get clicks galore.
They even sent her a lovely picture of the boxes in the warehouse waiting for shipping. The photoshop was comical yet my father in law was convinced his summer furniture would eventually turn up......in october.
Use your local tackle shop and give your heads a wobble ffs.

Another greedy predator devours more foolish lambs whilst enjoying the journey to the cashless society. Since trips to actual retailers offering real service by fellow bi pedal humanoids and transactions made by tangible means of exchange became far too inconvenient for most the waters just keep getting murkier......
