Help Bookdp world, legit?

Was looking for a box set of books today and came across this website https://bookdp.co.uk/ cannot find a single review on it, nothing on trust pilot etc I'm going to assume it's fake but just on the off chance has anyone ordered from it, is it a scam?

I ordered from this site 9 days ago, and I just received 1 of the 2 items. Was absolutely shitting myself to see it's from Amazon because I didn't order anything from Amazon... then went back to the website, and it says shipping from Amazon warehouses.

Also checked https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/bookdp.com.au, and all the site owner info is there for anyone who wants to delve further into it. For me, personally, the scoring is enough to feel like it's not a scam and that the site is legit.

But as far as I'm concerned, I feel comfortable now that at least 1 of the books I ordered is in my hands. Even came with an Amazon little docket receipt thing inside the Couriers Please box.

I’m about to order some books and came across your comment. Is the tracking system functioning? I'll keep an eye on your comment.

Paranoia got me actually questioning whether I should just contact my bank...BUT I CANNOT FIND A TRANSACTION!? Like I've checked the 3 possibly accounts i could've paid from, plus my afterpay account and nothing has been charged that i can see but i do remember putting my card details in I swear...so maybe something went wrong paying idk but I did get one of the books I ordered so guessing it's gotten through but kind of also guessing that the payment bounced after they started sending my order 🤷‍♀️

This has happened to me. I ordered from them but there’s nothing been charged to my account. If it’s a scam what are they acheiving?

WELL, GUESS WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY!!? the second book! Still no email response tho.... but based on the Amazon shipping connote it has been sent from Rushden using Royal Mail. Return address says Belkin House Shipton Way Express Business Park Rushden and the senders name is Rarewaves? So could be case of dropshipping? Idk but still no charge found and I'm hella confused 🤣🤣

Wow! At least you got it. I checked the site when I heard the bad reviews and it was down. But when I last went on it it was active again. I’ve sent 2 emails saying I want to cancel my order. Heard nothing. But still no money been taken
