Never heard of them, don't use them, but as its the season to dis' online
retailers, here's another one.

Which? is alerting readers not to use online retailer Getflashing.com after
concerns were raised about the site.

In November's Which? magazine report on online shopping, Which? stated that
buyers could save £49 on an Apple iPod Nano bought from the site.

However Which? has now learnt that company is under investigation by
Lewisham Trading Standards and has vacated its premises.

The company still appears to be taking orders on its site. Which? has tried
to contact it on a number of occasions but the phone remains unanswered.

Company investigation
Therefore Which? now advises against all further use of this website until
the outcome of the investigation is known.

We will update our report with more details when they become available and
further details will appear in January's Which? magazine. Please note that
this advice only applies to purchases from www.getflashing.com, other online
retailers mentioned in the report are unaffected.

If you have placed an order with this company, for further advice please
contact us by emailing editor@which.co.uk .

Jeremy.

ps.  Never had any problems with Expansys, Mobilefun, Picstop, or - as it
happens - datakits (but probably won't risk it again).

Oh dear. I've never really paid any attention to Which?

I can see why now - how can you trust a consumer magazine that's *that*
stupid.
