I have bought from this site a couple of times as have my family members- no problem so far. Yes, the items do take a while to arrive but this is explained clearly in their terms and conditions if people actually bothered to read this.

I am your average garden variety online shopper who lives in a rural area. I have shopped on this site once,twice,three times a month over the last 6 months and love it. Postage can take 2-3 weeks from the time of sale end but this is stated in the sales information. Postage is very reasonable and items are extremely well packaged. Every experience has been a good one. Any communication via email has been promptly responded to.
Thankyou for a great service. I would be looking at considerably greater expense and a 130 km round trip to purchase similar items 'locally'.
Interesting article

It appears some not so positive reviews of buyinvite.com.au have been removed from messages posted on this article? I think this is unfair - potential customers have the right to read about the experiences (either good or bad - in this case more bad) others have had with this company!
