Some of those Asic miners have already been shipped and are currently being shiped. There are also people building custom open source miners that use the Avalon Asics. I myself am designing a board that can be populated with these chips and put in a network rack. Sure with I could shake this newb status, 4 hours takes so long  :-\

www.asicrigs.com  <- is this who you mean?

There is a note on these guys in the mining -> mining and speculation board with reference to coincanary.org
Website has some oddities - for instance they claim to be based in the UK in Lincolnshire , however their contact details point to an address in Oregon, USA..
Also the pictures on their site look an awful lot like BFL 5GHz models only in grey rather than black (photoshop?)
Pricing looks good (its comparable with BFL before the price hike) - but I would wait until they have confirmed they are shipping at this stage before placing an order with them.
It might also be working looking at the UK Companies House to see if you can locate them as a registered business.

Always do heavy research so you do not get burned so quickly. Many have but equally there are people succeeding with massive BTC hauls daily.
