    I just tried to place an order. Minimum shipping was $25. I knew the prices were to good to be true.

    I was in this store in September. It is a legitimate store and I am wondering if they haven't finished their website or something. Not sure why they would show $1.00 for all their items as they aren't that in the store. If you read the reviews that BellaBoo posted they are correct. We did buy a few things in the shop. There prices beat what I have to pay in Canada for most things.

    I don't think I would be ordering on line though until they get the correct prices/address, etc. on the website.

    Once you sign in as a customer, the prices of many things change. I think it is poison...stay away...too much sounds too phony. Look at the map on their site which shows their location...it is NOT at the address that they give.
    Phony address, phony phone numbers, probably phony prices, "free" shipping turns to WOW EXPENSIVE. I would not buy from them no matter how badly I needed an item and they were the only ones world wide who had the item.

    I was turned off by their "about us" page. I have good intuition and personally, I would not order from them. But they may be totally legit and prove to be a good vendor.

    There are 800 numbers to contact them but the web site is poorly designed.
