I think you'll be disappointed in that $30 uke. For that kind of money, it's all laminated wood, the tuners will be crap and intonation will suck too. But if you just want to see if playing a little uke (with tiny fret spacing!) is for you, you'd do better to get something in the $100 range - which you can always return to GC for your money back per the 30 day 'try out' guarantee.
