[REWARD: 217K] Is it safe to shop on this site?

[ShawnDeToi]

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
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
And here: http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.ballicom.co.uk

Personally, i wouldn't order from there.

[ShawnDeToi]

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.

[ShawnDeToi]

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.

[ShawnDeToi]

Mike, since you live in the UK.. Could you give me your personal opinion about them, or what you think about em' ?

[MikeUK]

From what I can gather, they area an honest company that will deliver the goods.

Please notice; 3% if PayPal
And the only card I can use, is VISA Electron.
So, which one do you prefer ?

[Janar]

Personally, i would choose Google Payment, as Google is trustful company(?).
PayPal would be my 2nd selection, that 3% charge also.

[Wayne]

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.

[ShawnDeToi]

But 3% is also a lot when we're talking 1700 GBP..
You really think Google Payment also require taxes?
