Default the select.co.uk

Hi everyone

was hoping for some advice on www.theselect.co.uk. I may be repeating something that may have been brought up before, if so i'm sorry.

came across them while searching from a good dropshipper and i was wondering if anyone else has had any dealings with them and what they think

Cheers

Waste of money in my opinion. There prices are very high and the products they show before you sign up are hardly available. They operate a weird stocking system where you have to order the goods before they are available. e.g. xbox 360 has to get 20 orders and payed before they get it in to there warehouse. This can take weeks!

ive read v bad reviews on theselect.co.uk so i would personally stay well away. I havent had one of their accounts myself but have heard they exaggerate their RRPs and have very little profit margin on most goods. id like to know what products they offer 80% profit margins are because it definately isnt on consoles lol . also ive heard the price differences between bronze and gold package are very small (often around 10p or so!!! )

Everyone is saying the same thing, follow the advice of the board I have heard of this site one too many times. Put quite simply it's a scam.
