"I've experienced this company's fraudulent services twice. Stay away from them.
The owner, Talha, is shady and you will end up getting burned in the end."
"Be aware! Fraudulent on-line service. You will never get your money back"
"I purchased an unlocked GSM mobile phone to take with me overseas.
It worked with native network (T-mobile) but turned out to be locked when I tried using it with SIM cards of other GSM providers.
I sent 5 email inquiries over the course of two weeks to "Popular Electronics" with requests to resolve this issue but received no response. They do not answer phone calls either - just an answering machine asking to leave a message.
The product title on their website still says "unlocked" which is clearly a fraud.
Not responding to customers inquiries is also unacceptable.
PS: I wrote a review on the product webpage with a warning that the phone is not unlocked as claimed. Recently, I was stunned to discover that the business edited my feedback, which is now saying that the product is fine and I couldn't be happier with it! I cannot believe the dishonesty of this company.
Stay away from it! "

"Got a samsung omnia hd from this site. Good comunication, fast shipment. The only thing is that phone came in Polish and manual was in Polish. So I had to download manula and switch phone language. I would recomend this site...."
"This store is Great i placed an order and with in no time i receive a call from them to confirm the order i ordered 6 phones and the company had all of them in STOCK just like they said. I received my phones in 4 days. Thank You so much popular electronics and i got the BEST PRICES for the phones and shippinig cant belive i didnt know about your company before thank YOU!!!"
"My experience with this store is not good.
I ordered an Eten M800 for $550. The phone arrived promptly. The problem was that there was no sound coming out from the phone speaker. I didn't notice that until a couple of days after using it when my bluetooth headset ran out of battery. I was then traveling in business but called Pop-Elect immediately. They told me to send the phone back to them ASAP. Well as I traveled it had to wait till I came back home.
Once I came back home I sent the phone "over night" with all its accessories. It cost me $72. They called me back next day and told me that there was very little they could do for me as I had not send the phone back in its original box. My wife had thrown that away while I was out on a trip.
A good month has passed since I bought this defective phone. Pop-Elect has shipped it to a company called Expansys. They have informed me that I will need to wait another 6-8 weeks prior to get anything back.
So I am left with a $650 + $72 hole in my credit card without any phone.
Apart from their refusal of sending me a new working phone they have been extremely rude. The only way to get them to pick up is if I call without caller ID (they seem to screen calls). They never return calls even though they say they will. When I asked them about the Better Business Bureau and why they had lost their membership there, they hung up on me.
The Better Business Bureau has sent them several inquires on this matter and they have refused to answer. My credit card company seems to have a hard time getting hold of these guys as well. I have now contacted an attorney that is looking into this.
Never ever do business with these guys. If what you buy is not broken I am sure you will have a good experience. If it is broken, prepare for hell.
I was forced to by another phone. Who can live without a phone for several months?"
"I received my phone just 3 days after ordering it. I thought it was great how they called to confirm my purchase and address within just minutes of placing my order.
My only complaint is that they take quite a while to respond to my emails, so if you have any questions you would probably be better off calling them."
