Hello..
I've found this site: http://www.ballicom.co.uk/not-shown-22/vx5-core-2-quad-q9000-20ghz-vista-ultimate-64-bit-16-hd-tft-geforce-gt130m-1gb-dedicated-4gb-2x2gb.p470393.html (http://www.ballicom.co.uk/not-shown-22/vx5-core-2-quad-q9000-20ghz-vista-ultimate-64-bit-16-hd-tft-geforce-gt130m-1gb-dedicated-4gb-2x2gb.p470393.html)
And I'm not sure if it's safe to order stuff from.
So the answer of the question I'm looking for now is the following:
"Can this site be truested or not?"
The one with the best answer will get the 217K immidetly (dont expect to win with a Yes/No answer).
And I'm shipping it to Denmark (outside the UK).
The discussion will probaly end today, all depends on the replies.
Kind Regards

Well, buying section has https system, so it is secured and no one can look after your bank info.
But you can learn more from here: http://www.unbeatable.co.uk/retailerreviews.asp?id=406119 (http://www.unbeatable.co.uk/retailerreviews.asp?id=406119)
And here: http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.ballicom.co.uk (http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.ballicom.co.uk)
Personally, i wouldn't order from there.
-
It's the only site that has that notebook, and that ships orders outside the UK..
Reviews, hmm.. 50/50... Half of their costumers say it's ultra good, and some say that their site got problems with the stock thing..
You say you wouldn't order from there.. May I ask why ?
Until now, Janar is closest to the 217K..
I guess the discussion will continue till tomorrow, as it doesnt seem like many people have seen the topic yet..
-
Ballicom is registered 12 years ago, it's trusted i guess, in many reviews it has 7/10
I see many satisfied users, but some says that the stock was out the ballicom held the money for awhile, but they did not stole.
It has a good price for products, also ballicom has a good communication And it's trusted..
It's also a international company.
For me, Ballicom seems to be good, because it's large company, so yes, i would order from here, as the last option for cheap prices.
These reviews are a bit old, i assume the company has changed.
-
Great reply, thanks Wayne :)
I will wait till Janar has made a reply, when he has, I'll announce the winner. Will give him time to make a reply till tomorrow :)
Until further, Wayne is in the lead ;)
-
Ballicom opened in 1993, I checked them in companies house, it's legit. Just remember, if you use a card to pay, you're insured anyway.
-
I would recommend paypal(if possible), I guess it's a more safer way of doing any type of transaction.
-
Mike, since you live in the UK.. Could you give me your personal opinion about them, or what you think about em' ? :)
-
From what I can gather, they area an honest company that will deliver the goods.
Read their feedback: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/seller/feedback.html/280-6086668-3632609?ie=UTF8&isAmazonFulfilled=&marketplaceID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P&isCBA=&orderID=&asin=&marketplaceSeller=0&seller=A1V6Z2X9I7KSQG&isPopup=

Ok. Thanks for all the replies!
The winner was hard to deceide, as there suddently came so many replieng, decession was hard, but I guess I got one now.
Before I announce him, I would like to answer one last question..
Which method would you choose of the following if you lived outside the UK (but still in EU) ?:

Payment can me made to our bank details as below

Google Payment
We can arrange for you to pay via Google checkout where you can use your credit cards.
If you require this service please let us know and we will send you the payment link
Credit Cards/Cheques
Please Note we do NOT accept Credit Card or Cheques payments for overseas orders.
PayPal Payment
Submit your payment to [email protected] and do not forget to put the Invoice Number as your reference. We will charge 3% on the total Value if payment is done through PayPal
Please notice; 3% if PayPal :(
And the only card I can use, is VISA Electron.
So, which one do you prefer ?
-
Personally, i would choose Google Payment, as Google is trustful company(?).
PayPal would be my 2nd selection, that 3% charge also.
-
Google payment and Paypal are good choices.
Paypal is safe due it's sucessful transactions, even if value adds 3% it's safe.
I would choose paypal, even paying the value tax, Because paypal is a good transaction company.
But, google payment is good also, as google is a very famous company.
That depends from your choice, i think both will add a tax for transaction, if you have international card, a good transaction is using the international card.
But, between these, Paypal is the best option.
-
But 3% is also a lot when we're talking 1700 GBP..
You really think Google Payment also require taxes?

Will be outside for a couple of hours..
I will request the topic locked by then, with the winner of the competetion announced.
For now, I just hope I'll get some answers about the Google Payment taxes ;)

Yes, google payment requires tax. depending on each product, so, i told you, Paypal can be the best option.
-
As the many users stated above, it is trusted so why not give it a go?
and yus, PayPal is your best bet
-
Now I'm confused.
You are solely responsible for specifying your own tax rates. If you don't specify any tax information, Google Checkout will not apply taxes to your orders. If you submit a shopping cart which includes the tag <tax-tables>, we'll ignore any tax values set in the Merchant Center. If you need tax assistance, please consult with a qualified tax professional.
I guess I can avoid paying the taxes if I'm right, as I'm still shipping in the EU..
"If you don't specify any tax information, Google Checkout will not apply taxes to your orders."
I can just keep it without specifying any tax information, and BANG! No taxes :) Or how does it work ?
-
I guess, that if you read so, then no taxes will be applied.
BTW, Wayne, you checked this part from "Selling with Google Checkout" section, he is buying with Google Checkout, right?
-
Ah yes i found it out
Yes, google is more cheaper by 0.1% Paypal is trusted, same as google, that comes to your choice.
http://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89800 (http://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89800)
Monthly sales under $3,000 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
$3,000 - $9,999.99 2.5% + $0.30
$10,000 - $99,999.99 2.2% + $0.30
$100,000 or more 1.9% + $0.30
The transaction fee for a particular order appears on the Order Details page and is deducted from your payout for that order.
Orders from buyers whose billing address is outside the country of your Google Checkout account will be assessed an additional 1% processing fee. Cross-border orders are noted within your account on the Order Details page.

i trust that site i have ordered many things off there i ordered a laptop and a few other things i can't recall i buy alot of things off the internet
so i trust it it is reliable 1 time i got a little worried when they ran out of stock on my item but it came i think 2 weeks after the delivery date
-
In total I'll have to translate MAX. 2900 Dollars.
2 small questions;
Is my calcuation right:
So if I pay with Google Checkout, I will have to pay 2.9% + $0.30.
And with PayPayl, it will be 3% tax, right ?
And am I right on this:
The taxes MUST be paid, right?
-
Paypal: 3% tax must be paid of course, i guess.
If you use Google Checkout, then no tax, as it was only for selling through Google.
EDIT: I didn't find any information about taxes on PayPal home page...
Found now.
