So, after several emails back and forward, they asked me for some "proof" that i am who i say i am and i live where i say i do... so i sent them a small highly edited (cencsored all the important bits) top half of my credit card statement showing my name and my address.... then they asked me why my home address is different to the shipping address (my work address) even though on the order my billing address was stated as my home address !!!!
After all that messing around it seems they are now "processing" my order... so i'm betting it will be at least 3 weeks away.
I too would say that they are not scammers, just ridiculously incompetent and all whom are considering buying from them should not do so unless you have ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER OPTION !!!!!
