Is this a legitimate website to puchase products in the UK, the prices seem to reflect the same as that of bitmain though mining contracts seem too cheep!

[Hugroll]

given that 90% of cloud mining sites are scams , i wouldn't use this site unless a lot of people vouch for it. the site interface also looks kinda shady.
 

[Jeremycoin]

There is no review from the previous buyer (or they never have a buyer before)
I think you have to wait someone to buy it first

[ramsay snow]

it doesn't seem legit.
did you try to contact to this guy? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=344304 (his mail is public).

I never knew post codes to have 5 letters!

EDIT: ROYAL MAIL and other postal carriers accept GREAT BRITAIN and UNITED KINGDOM (GB or UK). Not too much of a problem.

You would be surprised.

In London you can have postcodes starting with W1, W2 for example.

If you look at the address on Google maps, the postcode exists and is near Paddington station.

Is it gear only or sell hash power as well ?

If you bothered to check the site properly, you could see they are also selling hash power.  (cloud mining contracts)

they are most certainly legit.  I knew they were when I saw they accepted paypal, I played it safe by buying a small U3 miner to begin with, I got a tracking number in about two hours and it arrived two days later.  I have since bout a few S4s and now I use their hosted miners as you only pay icelandic electricity rates which are nearly a quarter of the cost of England, the payouts are daily and you get a statement emailed at the end of each month, very quick to reply aswell and they now have their own liquid cooled miners which look very neat :-)

[crazyivan]

The website looks very unprofessional so probably a scam. Again, I always ask 3 things, name of the person behind it, photos of miners and mining address. If any of these s missing, bye, bye, I take my money elsewhere.

[rammy2k2]

registered email for domain is fake for sure, so i would advise to stay away from them.

how you are so sure the registered email is fake? I believe bitcoinminersuk is safe and legit website to go for mining hardware and cloud mining services in UK.

[jackg]

From this information, I am unsure if they are legit or not.

This certainly looks good: ref (BMUK-10)

Though I would probably start with cheap ones first like the S5 antminers.

I've been fooled by offers like these in the past, I won't repeat that mistake again. If something looks a lot better than any competitor can offer - then it is probably a fat lie.
IMO this site is far from looking legit. My advice: Wait for someone else to post their review of their services first.

[robelneo]

I checked their alexa and noticed that they have a high traffic flow from pakistan it has an indication that they are pakistan based,the site is not very popular as cloud mining site they are not even listed on top cloud mining review,better do a thorough research on this

[KenR]

Right now,I would no.Its quite risky to buy stuff from a website where there is no contact us or support or other details,especially when they're a online shop.Whois.com details look quite legitimate registered under the name of James Louice in London.You can always buy mining stuff from other reputed websites anyway.

Two vouches from two one visit newbies 

Their one Google review is by a positively fake profile using a film actress' photo
https://plus.google.com/103428943106608113013/reviews
[Bizarrely, on their FB page they post about "Self Balancing scooters", as does the "Evie Tweddle" profile.]

The link with Pakistan mentioned above is also there in their Reddit shilling by Furqan Arshad who appears, from his Twitter feed, to promote anything (being an "internet marketing expert")

https://www.reddit.com/user/furqanarshad

Also a topic on them (just link, no info) posted on Reddit by "RosieWinter"...a marketing bot.

In a puff piece in Bitcoinews, the James Louice from registrant details becomes James Lewis http://www.bitcoinews.co.uk/2015/12/491/



The usual stuff, been around for years etc etc. including his desire to open an exchange.
A bit of a contradiction, the website offers Icelandic hosting, but in the interview "can even host the kit in Denmark".



So, they've been about for over a year, have no coherent netprint and operate out of apartments in North London. Riiight.

Don't look too good until some genuine feedback appears.
Especially for their homemade miners: has anyone seen one in the wild?

Edit:
Also 35% off coupons on MMODM http://www.mmodm.com/bitcoinminersuk.com-coupon-codes/codetype=35off ...that's not a good sign.

Home made miners, did I say in the above post?

Anyone have an image of a BMUK miner in their house, or a screenshot of the information you get (such as information from a pool that can be screen shot).

Their friendly support sent me some images of their datacenter: I will send them tomorrow.
