never heard of them though and not sure what to make of it.

found them through google shopping here

I've seen them before, but wouldn't buy anything from them.

 

[peter12]

why is that?

when i saw them on google with 0 reviews i was shocked especially with the price they claim to offer.

If you look at the Contact page you will not see any information about a physical location, which is always a bad sign.

There is a location:

HardwareKing
Platz der Einheit 1
D-60327 Frankfurt
Deutschland/Germany

But it's in Germany, i would want a UK supplier.

Also this sounds a little dodgy to me:

"Generally, our prices shall be those referred to in our product basket on our website at the time of order. Prices that deviate from this, which may be seen on pages that were downloaded from intermediate storage facilities (Browser-Cache, Proxies), may not be current and are thus invalid. In the absence of any express agreement in writing to the contrary, our prices shall be effective from the distribution centre excluding packaging, freight or possible cash on delivery charges. "

From their terms and conditions:

Well I can say that this company is not listed as a member of the Intel Channel Program. For the UK or Germany.

No contact address is a bad sign.
