I would avoid it personally, though I don't really know. This question was also asked here.

Sound a bit like 'chinese' english to me....

Did you find their actual address on the website? (I tried and didn't find it... yet...)

I checked the IP address of the website and it points to Fullerton U.S.A. (california?) but well the actual host doesn't really point to their location...

No I didn't mean that. I meant the actual physical address of the shop/company/warehouse or whatever.
Every site I buy from I make sure there is the full contact info. Let's just mention OcUK, on whichever page of their site you're on at the top they display their actual physical address and their phone numbers. I couldn't find that for your site.

when I googled it, I only got 93 hits which is not good and most likely ppl said it is not a good website to shop ;). The website address is freaking long and confusion.

Also seeing as how they seem to only carry very expensive items, don't even bother.

In the checkout area, the website displays no identity verification. Also seeing how they try making it look like a .com URL, it makes it even more suspicious.

Shame, these would be great deals if they were real.
