Interesting, I will make contact and see what they have....

Been around for a while, a Rizheng distributor. One thing about several of the resellers in the UK is that they happily offer the majority of a "manufacturers" portfolio without any quality assurance. Make your own mind up if theres any here, Dan sells stuff which has been through his and others hands to test the quality. (I dont mean to imply that Rizheng is the source, or only source that Dan uses).
I know who I would rather place my orders with, we know where he lives!!!

They say to allow 20 days for delivery. They seem to have a wide range and are fairly cheap and any problems they are UK based and are bound by UK trade laws.

Yes Brian I at first thought I had bought from them before then realised it was a similar named outlet to Penkits UK

I may be wrong but a have seen a number of small sites that list a lot of stock. I maybe wrong but I find in reality the 20 days delivery allows for Jack & Jenny to send it out.
I do use Rizheng for some kits but I am slowly moving over to my factory in Taiwan who make the OMEGA for me.
I am trying to avoid listing the Rizheng catalogue as I want to focus on the better quality kits.
Competition in the UK market is no bad thing considering the strangle hold of axminster/brimarc

Hmmm, 3 days from Australia, 5 days from China 10 days from the states and 20 days from somewhere in the UK.

20 days does make you wonder if the stock is held in the UK. 
I agree with you Neil that we know what we're getting from Dan, over the past 6 months since i've been buying kits, I have used several different suppliers but now will only be using probably 3, unless I see recommendations from other forum members.
Or i'm traveling round the country and visiting areas, cant resist calling into Snainton, axminster etc and making impulse buys.

I can't see anywhere on the site who they are personally or where they are based. Why don't they put their business address on the site or do they have something to hide??? Call me cynical but I don't like to buy from people who won't even display something as basic as a business address so I won't be ordering anything from them.

It is a legal requirement if you are operating as an e-commerce business to show your trading address on any website
So Trading Standards is your friend.
Get dodgy businesses off the web or if they are legit make them apply the rules so that its a level playing field.
It's a bugbear of mine I'm afraid sorry for ranting.

They make it sound as though they are in the process of developing the site but they are online and trading from the site as they invite order to be placed so their trading address should be on the contact page at the very least.
Look in "Who is" that gives you an idea of where the web site is registered.. S-O-T apparently..
A mobile number how professional !

Better be careful Dan, you are not compliant
