I purchased a product off of e-bay from https://trailthis.com/. All was good and they sent me a coupon for https://bicyclechainsdirect.com/. Good prices with free shipping. It took me a couple of minutes to run down the validity of the 'store'. It looks like an online operation enabled and supported by Shopify. There also seems to be a direct association between BCD and Trail This as the contact info leads me to Trail This. 

Check this out for me and tell me if it is legit. TIA.

I forgot to say, if you want to make a purchase, I'll give you the coupon code. 15 % off any order. It's good until 9-22.

Legit? Usually these "fronts" are legit sources for Chinese mass produced stuff, so it is sort of "you get what you pay for" sort of thing. I don't think it is a scam you to get your CC info, but I would use a credit -not debit - card for that extra level of protection.  Other than that, assuming it isn't a "safety concern" (like a helmet), you'll be fine. Just don't expect true Shimano quality (maybe "Shinamo" quality ).

Oh yeah, I forgot to say, not for Tom. Sorry.

The majority of the chains I use these days (almost all of them, in fact) are KMC 8.93 that I buy in bulk packages of 5 at a time (on Amazon) for $45. I went to your site link, and their price for KMC 8.93 is 11 bucks each...that's the "sale" price.  So color me unimpressed.  It might be a good deal if you're into the more exotic, unobtanium coated 11 speed chains.
