too good to be true?: race-cycles.com

This is dodgy, too-good-to-be-true?:

http://www.race-cycles.com

eg the last bike on the first page, Felt F2 2013, $1,901 (I assume USD) with free UPS shipping to the UK.

They don't seem to take credit card. The only way to pay is bank transfer:
Bank Transfer Payment
Bank Name : BANK RAKYAT INDONESIA
Account Number : 173201000980507
Account Name : SUTRISNAWATI
Swift Code /BIC : BRINIDJA
Bank Address : Jalan Jenderal Sudirman No 44-46 Jakarta Pusat, DKI Jakarta 10210

So that's the last straw right? They'd be no way of getting your money back should it not arrive or it be a fake or broken or something. Just checking.

You really need to ask the question?

Dodgy as he'll.

yup, just checking, thanks.

I'd definitely give that a wide berth

Is this another Canyon/ Rose thread!?

Just say they had have taken credit card. How risky would it have been then? In the event of the seller not delivering or delivering something shoddy would it be fairly easy to claim back via your credit card company?

Edit: same question, but PayPal. Would you be able to claim back via them?

If you do take the risk, I wouldn't, very risky IMO, remember to add on import tax and currency change charges if applicable via credit card.
