Default Ha anyone bought from this midlands based AV company ?

http://www.electronicempire.co.uk/?z...ibrapm72hh37c1

Apparently they sell graded stuff as well as brand new, i was looking at something on their site which is brand new yet its half the price of anywhere else, its a £200 item that they are selling for just £100 with free delivery as well.

I'd avoid - Not listed at Companies House.
Don't like the "Address" details either - Or the "Returns" policy.

I thought Electronic Empire was a games place (like Electronics Boutique /Game)......looks very dodgy to me.

I wonder if they are trying to entice Empire Direct customers which is a genuine online store?

The company is based in Newtown and the area is full of various companies that trade out of these old Factories and Units etc.Newtown used to be quite a rough area of Birmingham.Got a mate who lives over in Sutton and has drove through that way many times as probably others have on here including me.

Same VAT number as Total Digital.

Can't find either in the local Yellow Pages or business phone book!

Although they do (indirectly) appear as a pukka dealer for Alphason.

Thanks for the feedback, i think i'll go with the saying on this one where it sounds like its too good to be true.

I did actually ring them as thats how i found out it was brand new and not graded, the first thing that was a bit odd is some guy just answered the phone and said "sales", he never gave a company name, i had to ask if they were Electronic Empire.

I asked where did they get their stock from as it was a TV stand i was after, he said direct from Alphason.

I rang Alphason, they have never heard of them.
