Sounds like a 'cheap' offer. Normal Oak boards do come in random lengths but from 600mm to 2400mm or longer.
With this 'offer' you will have a lot of joints, experience (well, the experience of disappointed buyers of this kind of flooring who called us for 'help') has shown that you regular only get a lot of very small boards instead of a correct mix in lengths.

Rule of Thumb: 
Smaller The Lengths
Cheaper the Price
More Joins On the Floor
Say No: To Inferior Chinese Oak Imports.....!

Oh, I second thatLearnerPlumber said:Say No: To Inferior Chinese Oak Imports.....!
Although, more and more well-known European manufacturers are 'joining' up with Chinees factories and slowly better quality is coming from China.
But you're right: quality comes with a price. always!
