Hi

In my job as an Electrical Engineer I come across many interesting offers but also warnings.  The site you recommend seems ok and the prices typical of what you could get from a wholesaler.  The MCB price worries me a lot.  If you have a look at the Voltimum site (for electrical contractors) it has run an article on counterfeit products from in particular China.  The goods included MCBs without any working parts inside, cable of a smaller diametre to that advertised and the list goes on. 

If the price is particularly low its either hot or counterfeit and you need to be keeping well away from it.

I'm not suggesting the site you show is selling dodgy stuff - far from it - rather warning people to be careful.
