[Jazza64]

Can someone look at this website & let me know if it is reputable http://www.armaniwatchescenter.uk.com/ or better still has anybody used them or do you know where i can get feedback on them

If the only way to contact them is via e-mail I'd have doubts about that company.

Look at this question and "review"

Sounds like foreign scammers if you ask me

Read this bit from their website

"7.Are these Armani Watches authentic?
All of our merchandises are 100% guaranteed brand new. We deal directly through the manufactory worked for Armani Watch. The watches we offer are all overstock goods/order from the factory.
They are not covered by Armani warranty and not be authorized by Armani, that’s why we can offer you top quality merchandises at such great discounted prices.
Please be advised that you will not get Official Armani invoice thus NO after-sale service available in your local stores, instead the service will be provided by us."

They are telling you that the watches are made by the same people as genuine Armani watches but are not purchased and sold by Armani. So as they are not authorised they are copies being sold illegally.

a .uk.com address is always a bit worrying. It's actually just a .com address but .uk has been included within it to make it appear as if it's UK-based.

Any genuine UK-based web trader MUST (by law) provide a postal address. As Sandy points out, that website only provides an email address.

Actually, looking a bit further into the site, it actually states that it's based in China:

If you buy from that website, and your order doesn't arrive, you'll have no way of getting your money back.

If your order arrives in this country, and HMRC identify the watch as a fake, your watch will be seized by Customs officials, without compensation. (Theoretically you could also be prosecuted for attempting to import counterfeit goods).

If your order arrives in this country and HMRC treat is a genuine product, you'll have to pay the following charges (based upon a $260 purchase, equating to £167.26):
Import duty (4.5%) = £7.53
VAT (on £167.26 + £7.53) @ 20% = £34.96
Customs examination fee = £8.00
Total = £50.49
