I'm about to order some trainers from there. Has anyone eles? Is it safe, as they come from USA. There dead cheeep.
If they come from the USA, make sure you check the post and packaging prices and the small print.
In some cases you have to pay in import tax if the goods are above a certain amount so check it to make sure.

Have you ordered there? Import tax? Will they tell me what that will be when I place my order?

* Customs duty - if the amount of duty is £7 and over and
* Import VAT - if the value of the goods is £18 and over.
Customs duty is not payable on goods bought from countries within the EU. However, VAT is payable (if due) either in the EU country of purchase, or in the UK if the EU supplier is UK VAT registered
