If you value your money even if you have to pay 10-15 bucks on top buy from stores with good reviews and proven history as most of the time the return policy they provide is OK.
Picture yourself paying them for the z370, then you find yourself with bad motherboard and you can't switch or make them return your money because they are a shitty place. (not saying that this website is shitty, I haven't personally used it)

I would not buy it from that website. The website looks a little bit old and sort of sketchy if you ask me and I would rather pay 10 to 15 dollars more on a site I trust instead of some sketchy website.

 

(This is just my opinion.)

I've never actually bought anything from them as the postage has always put me off, but personally haven't heard anything bad. Not idea what returns might be like with them. Is there any reason why you are going for the Z370 Krait, and not the Z390 Gaming Edge? It is only a fiver more and is available from Amazon so you could get free postage.
