Has anybody ever bought anything from these guys? Prices in Euros, but they have a warehouse in West Bromich. They take Paypal so they should be OK.

Any feedback most welcome.

I'd avoid.
Seems that they are a genuine business.
However....
Their online business (based in Netherlands) only get three stars on Trustpilot. Which is bizare, given that they only have one and two star reviews (maybe they add one + two...?:-)
Their claim to a 4.4 star rating from 1000+ reviews on Google is actually for a bricks and mortar store in Poland (trading under the name Plecionia, which the Dream World Fishing website claims to have started from).
And for me, Paypal would mean zero confidence of getting money back, based on a couple of issues with online sellers sending wrong thing, then going silent (and Paypal taking zero interest or effort to refund/resolve).

The warehouse address in the uk actually seems to be for a shipping / freight company and or a parcel delivery service so I suspect orders if delivered are just sent via there. Not much actual business info on the website and potential customs and import duties if over £135 as well as potential 20% vat as i don't see it mentioned on the checkout process.

Thanks lads, think I will give it a miss. Noticed the crap Trustpilot reviews yesterday, coupled with the fact that there appears to be very few users made my mind up for me.

Agreed. Companies will often use a similar name for a reputable company in another industry, so when you type the company name into trustpilot, it'll be easy for the gullible to think they are genuine reviews. I've seen the same happen with perfume and supplement companies, even to the extent of using similar logos.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
