I wouldn't give them my credit card. Pretty much guarantee that's a scam. No way they are legit at that price

Click on the "About Us" section. You'll soon realize it's a scam.

Default Careful with your CC info

Just remember the old saying. "If it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is". This site is just a few days old. It's not likely that you will even be able to find anyone who received an order yet.

The fact that their About Us page tries to indicate they are associated with Home Depot and that their return policy states you can pickup and return to their physical locations, while a google search shows no physical locations, should be another warning sign. In fact a check of Home Depots About Us page shows they they simply pasted and copied directly from the Home Depot site. They didn't even bother to put their name in where it said Home Depot.

This is the 2nd site this week I've seen advertised on FB that sells products at rediciously low prices. Same type of vagueness and a new site. Must be the new scam.

Ha, great prices, I wonder if anyone will price match these guys?

Also, on the bottom of the page they proudly state SSL Secure connection... yet my web browser is telling me differently.

This is without a doubt a scam.

Now I'm off to get a price match on a HDS 12
