Is This Company Safe To Buy From

[wolf63]

Is this offer just too good to be true? https://www.eurekar.store/products/smart-side-table?fbclid=IwAR2YIZyWIN0noWlZ9DxVfNQ0AA2EO0bkIcesTm8ABfwdEQR6g1HHuMH6Mw4

I love my drinks to be very cold. My brother bought me a fridge for my bedroom that was advertised as being quiet. It was far too loud for me to use.

This 'looks' dodgy but is it?

[douglas9401]

Seems like a lorra stuff for fifteen quid.

[Captain2]

Don't know about the company, but have you checked the shipping costs?

[Buenchico]

The eurekar.store domain name was only registered two months ago. (Dodgy!)

There's no physical address for the company on the website. (Dodgy!)

The email address given is a Gmail one, rather than one linked to the company's domain name. (Dodgy!)

That email address is the same one that Google finds linked to other potentially dodgy sites (some of which seem to have disappeared from the web). (Dodgy!)

Hmmm. Do you get the impression that I'm not impressed?

;-)

What's the catch??

[Captain2]

^^^ .... also it says 'founded 2018' and yet not one review on that site.
Doesn't sound too good.

I think this is nature's way of telling you to buy another cat instead.

[Mamyalynne]

Australia?

I've got one of these right next to my desk. (i.e. it's about 30cm away from my ear right now). It's virtually silent:

mamya, the writer of the review claims to be UK-based.

[Buenchico]

Further to all of the above, if you buy an electrical item from overseas it might not be designed to work on the UK's 230 volt electrical system. There's nothing in the description to indicate what supply voltage is required to use it. (The address used to register the domain name is simply 'Guangdong, China').

[Mamyalynne]

I meant the Company,sorry.

[Cloverjo]

Buenchico, can you fit bottles of wine on the shelves in your cooler?

Apologies to the OP.

[Buenchico]

Regrettably, no, Clover

[Jackdaw33]

I always thought our system was 240v. Must have got it wrong.

[LadyCG]

Wow, that's a serious piece of kit for $16. ;-)

[Buenchico]

When you were but a nipper, JD33, the UK's supply voltage was, indeed, 240V. In reality it still is but we now call it 230V. Confused? See here:

>>> Wow, that's a serious piece of kit for $16

Yes, the real price of something like that is somewhat higher!
