And they still manage to produce this crappy website, hosted on a shared platform….

The prices aren’t ‘tooooo good to be true‘ low, so no comments on that at this moment.

Why We Won’t Shop There
First, it’s China based (even though the website is hosted in the US), second, the website hold a ton of spelling errors. If they can’t create an error free piece of text, how can you be sure that they don’t screw-up the delivery address?
Taken from the Must-read [1] page:
Q: Please tell me the reason for shopping here, please?
A: 1, we are a company with long-term business experience in retail business site;
2, we will bring you high quality products and cheaper prices;
3, a variety of payment options and fast delivery nationwide;
4, human The Return matters;
5, an enhanced level of membership points scheme;
6, all products are original regular packaging;
nr.1: they exist less than two months, nr2: it seems they deliver only locally.
The Privacy & Security page is a dead-end. The pages it refers to are non existent.
Every page is timestamped with a date in September 2009. Weird, since they’re online less than two months.
The Contact link is misspelled (Conatct)
They publish shipping and tracking numbers publicly on their frontpage. In our experience, this is only done to give you a false sense of security.

9os.hk Shipment tracking
Finally, since the prices aren’t that low; don’t risk it. Shop at your local (or trusted online) reseller. Don’t risk loosing your money.
Verdict
Extremely shady
