Hi all,

I just came across this website and was wondering if anyone bought from them?
The timefuse seems to be cheap!
I saw they also sell flares etc. but I suspect those things to be dangerous to be shippid by airmail/courier so I'm not sure to trust them...

Not really. From their site:

All products we sell are legal in the Czech Republic, however we cannot check the legal status of a product in every single country. It is your responsibility to check the legal status of a product.

There are any number of products you could buy from abroad that are perfectly legal in their country of origin but illegal to import to the UK.

That doesn't mean they're too good to be true, that means that the UK is a frigging police state.

Not that my own country is that much better, but the UK nowadays is known as the land with a surveillance camera in every corner...

About the shop: I haven't ordered from them myself, but people who have say that it's good stuff.

Hmm I'd like to order but I have a bad feeling about it.
Think I'll skip this one for now...
If anyone does order from them let me know how it went Posted Image

Then again, I could order something that won't get me in trouble and if that goes well I might be able to trust them.

Know nothing about them, but they advertise crackers (ie fireworks), which they would need very expensive shipping to send legally - somehow I doubt if they have this...

You know people who ordered from them? So they're trustworthy?
I should ask them if they ship fuse etc. without paying too much for shipping.
Already sent a mail to them a moment ago so I'll wait for their answer.

I don't personally know the people who ordered from them, but if they had tricked people, I'm sure it would have been a well known fact by now. They have been in business for a few years by now.

I guess many people don't trust suppliers in Poland or the Czech Republic. But they are usually as trustworthy as any supplier in Western Europe.

I am sure they will ship the goods to you.

However I very much doubt that they will ship them legally, as they mention that they might get stopped by customs. This would imply that the do not have the proper transport documents with them. This is required for all category 1 items as there is no exempted / limited quantities for this class. This shipping regulation is a Worldwide requirement (UN ADR regs and more if it goes by plane / rail / boat etc).

So how do you feel about your order possibly being transported on a passenger plane because the post office don't know what is in the package?
Phew that was close.

I know someone who placed a 300 euro order with them.
It went through on the website.
It was cancelled by them the next day and refunded in full.
Reason -

Order status:

YOUR ORDER HAS BEEN CANCELED



Reason:
We canĀ“t send out products to your country at the moment.

Very little of what they sell is inert! Most seems to be live pyros, not good for transport, and not cheap for transport. Selling flares and flash grenades "for hooligans" isn't going to endear them to postal authorities. For some reason they state that they don't supply to Germany, yet it's likely that their parcels pass through Germany in transit.
