mirrorbow is not a bona-fide operation and does not advertise its
address, directors and other information as now required
by UK law.


That is a little odd. Any idea why they aren't more forthcoming?


I received both the boards I ordered from Mirrorbow in a few days and
all my email enquiries were answered extremely quickly and
thoroughly. I guess they are not a multinational, and Ive never had
cause to ring them. However, payment is via Palpal which I believe
offer a degree of protection anyway. My invoice on delivery had their
address on it.

There are lots of companies online that dont show addresses or phone
numbers online, so I cant believe it is illegal not listing them!
Otherwise all those webspace providers would be breaking the rules!

I think its a silly to post a comment stating that they are not "bona-
fide" unless you can post evidence to suggest this.

Twice I sent my money via paypal, and twice I received my board
quickly and it worked to spec. I had questions, and they were
answered on email.

If we expect every company we deal with as amatuer electronics
enthusiasts to have a call centre and list streams of directors I
think we would find them thin on the ground in our specialist area!
