Help Is venturedirect legit?

[Mahfuj Ali]

On this website you can purchase an "s7 edge sm-g935f" for £471, and I wanted to know if anyone bought an s7 edge from this website and is it brand new (sealed) and does it have uk specs (e.g. exynos processor).

Here's the link to the website: https://www.venturedirect.co.uk/products/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-32gb-4g-lte-black-sm-g935f-unlocked

Here are a few thoughts from a self-confessed cynic...

The specs look legit for the quoted model number, but I have to question how a site can sell it for £140 less than the largest independent retailer in the UK which buys them direct from Samsung in far larger quantities.

Another warning sign for me is the quoted delivery times; these suggest "just-in-time" ordering rather than having stock awaiting instant shipping. Standard delivery shouldn't take a week or more to anywhere in the UK.

The following found on the site might explain this:

The VentureDirect website was taken over by MilkyWay Group in March 2016. MilkyWay was founded in 2010 by a group of geeks who love gadgets, we bring you the latest digital gadgets at the best prices.

Milkyway Distribution Ltd.
9 A &B, Ka Ming Court, 688 Castle Peak Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Finally, none of the user reviews listed for the product actually mention the company. All seem to be lifted from various other sources e.g. Amazon, Walmart, B&H, various network carriers etc and talk merely about the device itself. If I were ordering an expensive item from an unknown site I'd like some evidence that they had delivered what they promised to similar buyers.
