1. Store uses a fake Norton/Symantec security seal
2. Total lack of company and contact details

Other then that it's probably OK for cheap gadgets. For more expensive products like phones etc keep in mind that they will naturally require you to return the product to them in China - and shipping to China can be very costly.

I was a bit unsure about ordering off a web site that I hadn't tried before but took the jump and ordered two iPad covers. They arrived very quickly and were exactly as described. I was really happy with them. I showed everyone at work and we are now putting in a "staff" order for more of them.

I ordered a cable for an Iphone and it arrived promptly and was as described. The quality and finish was excellent. It has been a positive experience doing business with this company and I hope to do more business with them in the future.
