Default Problem with Hobbyking

Got a letter back from Trading standards today.
Hobbyking is actually reg as HexTronik ltd. and is reg in Honk Kong.
The domain name Hobbyking.co.UK is owned by Anthony Hand in Sydney Australia. The U.K warehouse is in Ipswich but is actually called Lucky Stuff LTD, owned and ran by Ian Hand. They suspect father and son but are still looking into that.
Anyway because the seller is based outside the U.K you don't have the same rights as you would under the U.K or E.U laws and it may be difficult for the U.K authorities to exercise any influence over the firms conduct.
SO BEWARE
