We had a discussion about this before.. they have an Office in NC I believe and the verdict was no good.

Try searching the forum for more information

They have unreasonable prices. Their contact info lists Spain as home. It's an english language site and check what Whois returns:

Merchant's don't usually need to hide their registration details.

Bottom line is I wouldn't trust them with someone else's money.

Thanks for the replies... I wasn't going to order anything anyway... also, they only take money orders...

I guess the only thing left to do is... to try and get best buy to price match!

That's a UK mobile phone number.

An obviously fraudulent site, use only if your wallet is currently too heavy.
