    Anybody Used BuyGreenDot?

    Hi folks,

    As per title really, have any of you used this company to order items, if so, any problems? Stock UK/European? Their based in Crawford, Kent, local to anyone? Your normal queries in regards to an unknown company!

    If someone has ordered, did you pickup, are they open on Saturdays?

    Website: http://buygreendot.com/

    Thanks!

    I've seen them appearing on a few price searches recently and thought that their prices were too good to be true....a few web searches basically confirmed that.

    My thoughts too, however, I was sceptical of Ginger6 too, picked up from them, seemed fine, that's why I asked. Thanks for your reply.

    Thanks Salazaar, it hit me yesterday, I recall there being some news on things like this I had heard somewhere, where sites like this are being setup for those exact purposes!

    Thanks to all again! Like you say, if it's too good to be true, more than likely is!

    Yeah, I must say I did notice the established in 2005 and thought they've been around a few years but don't know how to do what you've done, may I ask where/how you found this information? Thanks.

    For anything other than .co.uk just add the domain you're interested about to the end of www.whois.net/whois....

    In the above case, www.whois.net/whois/buygreendot.com

    For .co.uk domains, use www.nominet.org.uk
