Hi guys,

 

quick question for my fellow UK residents. I'm looking to buy the cooltek W2 BW and the cheapest site ive found it at (at least the cheapest that isnt definitely a scam) is alternate.co.uk

 

are they a reputable distributor? a scam? reliable?

 

have you had any experiences with them either good or bad and are they worth trusting?

 

any feedback will be greatly appreciated

 

thanks

It is a shop from Germany. Bought my TV there, a xbox360 and some more stuff. Don´t know anything about their UK distribution but in Germany alternate is pretty much one of the top 5 online resellers for hardware. -> alternate.de

You tell me! Who is your daddy and what does he do?

well that at least fills me with a bit more confidence about them, there just isnt any reviews of them so its hard to trust them

They have a revenue of about 460M/€ and they have over 90% 5-Star reviews on the major german price-comparison websites. They also got elected 13 times in a row as best online hardware reseller by the readers of the german "PC Games Hardware Magazine". They are as legitimate of a shop as it gets I guess.
