musthavethis.co.uk
hi anyone shopped with this company??
i came accross them randomly
at a glance i thought it was a rip off but on emailing them asking if they were having a laugh with some of their prices i got told they were just setting up and so not everything was fully priced as they should be (person seemed really genuine offering a number to contact aswell) after asking about the wii in black the price was dropped significantly to cheaper than ive found it
theres a few other items i was looking at aswell
before i buy just wanted to know if anyone has used them before
and if there has been any bad experiences ?
there website is Welcome to musthavethis.co.uk
cheers for any help

I cannot find any contact info on the website and the 'About Us' and 'Our Service' pages are blank.
Per the WhoIs info, Quote:
Domain name:
musthavethis.co.uk
Registrant:
Keith Jones
Registrant type:
UK Limited Company, (Company number: NI123456)
Registrant's address:
KLJ Life Coaching Ltd
16 Huggins Close
Coventry
CV7 7RX
United Kingdom
Registrar:
Zed Zed Productions Ltd t/a The Select
Relevant dates:
Registered on: 10-Aug-2009
Renewal date: 10-Aug-2011
| The domain was registered 5 months ago. Also, I find in very doubtful that a companies registration number would actually be 'NI123456'. I checked at Companieshouse.gov.uk and found WebCHeck - Select and Access Company Information, Quote:
KLJ LIFE COACHING LIMITED
C/O WEST CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS OFFICE 2 GRESWOLDE HOUSE
197B STATION ROAD KNOWLE
SOLIHULL
WEST MIDLANDS
B93 0PU
Company No. 05140541
| Not only do the registration numbers and address' not match, but the registration number shown in the WhoIs is 8 characters. UK business registration numbers are only 7 characters long. 'NI' is valid for the first two characters, but in that case the registration should be followed by only 5 digits (not 6).
So, I'd have to say that the business registration shown in the WhoIs info is fraudulent. EDIT
Found kljcoaching.co.uk and it appears to be a motivational type deal.

When in doubt shop somewhere else
In order to have the lowest price in town, a company generally has to purcahse more of the part(s) themselves so that they can get thier prices down. That or they work off a lower sales margin...
If you search for a part at ten sites/stores and the "typical" price is $10.00 and then you find a site selling it for half of that..Odds are pretty good its a scam site...

just to let you all know i have bought a satio case off of the website as its only 3.50 or just over that so its not much to loose if it goes sideways
providing this purchase goes good will determine if i buy another product
i bought the item last night and recived the order number and conformation that it was getting sent out tommorow (monday)
so fingers crossed

I've merged two threads because of the WhoIs info which shows that both of these websites have the same UK company number (NI123456) and the same registrar (Zed Zed Products Ltd). WhoIs for uk-toys-gifts.co.uk shows, Quote:
Domain name:
uk-toys-gifts.co.uk
Registrant:
Craig Taylor
Registrant type:
UK Limited Company, (Company number: NI123456)
Registrant's address:
30 holmhurst lane
st leonards on sea
east sussex
TN37 7LW
United Kingdom
Registrar:
Zed Zed Products Ltd t/a The Select
Relevant dates:
Registered on: 01-Mar-2010
Renewal date: 01-Mar-2012
Last updated: 01-Mar-2010
| I'd also point out that the 'uk-toys-gifts.co.uk' domain was just registered 10 days ago and that the musthavethis.co.uk website has been suspended since at least 26FEB2010.
Also, as with the 'musthavethis.co.uk' website there is no contact information and the 'About Us' page is blank. See Post #2. EDIT:
It appears that the individual that started the other thread (now merged with this one) decided to spam the forums with links to that website. That user has been banned and their posts removed. I would like, however to thank that user for bringing the second website to everyone's attention.
