Some bonkers RRP pricing there though.
Ronhill vision gillet.
RRP £201.25, sale at £80.50
However the genuine RRP at legitimate stores like up and running is only £40.

There may be some legit bargains, but most are just vastly inflated RRP and non-existant discounts. Look at the sandals, loony rrp on those, when was the last time you saw regatta sandals with a £140 price tag?

If that's there business model I wouldn't trust them at all.

yeah some bargains but as @JKM says some of the rrp's are wrong. Montane verso rrp £196.00, most stores sell around £100, Sportshoes had it in sales at £75 which is cheaper.

Google streetview doesn't find any shop mind!

Good catch, just read your link. Their hasn't been any bad reports, but

This website is 59 Days old

The website expected life (365 days) is relatively short.
note_alert.png
The website appears to be less than six months old
The website has been newly registered with a short life expectancy, which follows the pattern used by many fraudulent and fake selling websites. Please be vigilant and take extra care before providing any payment information.
Which would lead one to doubt!

Looks dodgy to me. Offering sizes that are not shown on the Arcteryx home webpage eg. XXS in ladies and XS and XXXL in mens.
I've come across a couple of web pages like this in previous years.
The wee security padlock sign doesn't appear if you go to checkout so ………..let me know how you get on- I'll not be sending them any of my £'s or details.
:shifty::thumbsdown:

Edit. Crossed posts.

Also, why would a clothing company want to call themselves 'Get Thanet online'?
It sounds more like a site organised by the UKIP-er's of Thanet to drum up support to get better broadband...
Hijacked domain perhaps?

Yup, I wouldn't touch them. Have a look at the number of stock items... no chance a new website can afford to have over 1000 arc'teryx jackets in stock over the various models.

Ordered a Berghaus Eco Explorer shirt from them on jan 27th, not noticing the address. I got a receipt for payment but no confirmation from them. It has just arrived. (Feb 21st).
Wrong make, colour & size and from the quality & fit I suspect a fake anyway! Delivered from Shanghai. No email address or phone number, no delivery note or returns ticket even if I wanted to spec a return post to China. One to write off against experience.
 
I ordered a Buffalo Alpine Jacket - again not looking at the web address - just reacted to the low price. Got receipt but no confirmation. Eventually got some nondescript Northface fake. Contacted bank. Had to wait 15 days but got money back as I'd paid with debit card. If you go on site now you'll find it had been removed.
