I've been toying with the idea of possibly replacing my aging GoPro Session when funds allow & was quite interested in the Hero 11 mini. It's £249.99 from GoPro & the usual retailers; I'm assuming that GoPro dictate the price and don't allow other sellers to undercut them (although Amazon have it for £219).

However, there's an online retailer called techinthebasket.com, who I've never heard of, who are offering it for £169.99. I'm careful online and inclined to the view that "if it sounds to good to be true" etc. However  I've not come across anyone claiming it's a scam site. They also offer PayPal purchasing which would offer a degree of insurance.

I'm naturally inclined to steer clear but wondered if anyone had used this company. Assuming it's a genuine, new product, what's the catch?

I have used them a few times. Was fine, even did  a return on some air pods.

Yep they are based in HK so no VAT hence the saving.

Domain registered in 2015, so they're legit at least.  Whether they're any good or not is a different matter.

Pretty sure I bought an iPad from them, no issues, had a uk plug included separately as was a non uk iPad but was the cheapest I could find at the time.
