Complaint #4
Back in November I ordered two hard drives at a good price. After about a month I contacted them and asked where my HD’s were. They stated they were on back order due to floods in Thailand, but assured me I would get them soon.
I waited another month and asked them where my order was and to refund me my money.
They replied, “This part# is back ordered but we can replace it with any 500GB 2.5 laptop HDD model for the same price. Please advise.”
I then looked on their site and there was no HD”s at all. So I emailed them again stating that there’s nothing there and I want my money back.
They replied, “Did you receive our prior email? THe LCD is readily available, (Moneybookers has been holding payments since December 1st due to late shipments for some orders and we have been shipping out of pocket for now 2 months). We can fulfill your order without issue, – you can cancel the initial transaction through your bank, and re-order it through alternative payment method like paypall and we will be MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHIP IT WITHOUT ISSUE. PLEASE CONFIRM RECEIPT OF EMAIL.” Ok, I didn’t order an LCD! I ordered a Hard Drive! WTF? Right?!?? And they want me to purchase the items again? Items that don’t even exist on their website? Do they think I’m an idiot? GEEZ! I again emailed them saying I want my money back. I also emailed moneybrokers who had taken my money via amazingcellular’s website and asked for a refund.
I got an email back from moneybrokers saying, “Thank you for contacting Skrill (Moneybookers) Customer Service. This email is a follow up on your complaint against [ Le Groupe 5B International Inc]. Firstly, we would like to apologize for the inconvenience you experienced, caused by the merchant’s failure to deliver the goods you have paid for via Moneybookers.

**I also got a reply from amazingcellulars.com saying, “ATTN: Did you Not receive our Prior Email – Moneybookers payment Provider has been withholding Payments for now more than 3 months –Did you not receive our prior email reply? We have been having problems with our payment gateway ‘moneybookers’ which has been withholding funds since December 1st despite payment going through, they are being held within moneybooker’s account and still are to this day. We advise you to file a dispute through your bank, under ‘non receipt’ for merchandise not received, under Chargeback, and the funds will be forcefully taken out of moneybookers and returned back to your Credit Card on file and we have been advising this to multiple people, regarding this situation with the payment provider moneybookers. Please call your bank and file a chargeback under ‘non receipt’ as moneybookers is under FSA (Financial Services Authority Regulators in the UNITED KINGDOM) after we filed a formal complaint against them around 1.5 months ago, regarding them withholding funds without merit and causing severe disruption to our shipments and our customers. So please call your bank first thing and file a dispute / chargeback under ‘non receipt’ against moneybookers payment provider, and the funds will be returned back to your account by your own bank. We can fulfill your order, after you issue the dispute through your bank as above, You can Order the Part# through PayPal or other north America reliable service providers, and we will gladly fulfill your order. Please reply asap.”
So in the end, my bank, Chase stated that I can’t get any of my money back b/c it’s been over 4 months. So, I’m out $145. Sucks! The story changed so many times and it was filled w/lies all along the way. Neither company would refund me stating the other had my money. Booo! Shame on them both!

Review #3 AmazingCellulars.com
Strangely AmazingCellulars.com directed me to this site to offer positive feedback – claiming they are being defamed by previous customers.
So I can’t really give positive feedback but I will try to be fair. In early November I was looking for a 2TB hard drive. The price was reasonable and AmazingCellulars claimed that the item was in stock. Made the purchase and funds were taken from my debit card immediately. I waited for nearly two weeks and finally inquired about my purchase when nothing showed up. No reply from AmazingCellulars. After another nine days I finally asked for my money back. No reply. Two days later I received a notice that the order had shipped. When I demanded my money back and threatened to contact Visa, I was told that I would be ‘reported to the collection agencies for fraudulent filing illicit chargeback’.
In their defense (and it’s not much of a defense) they did insist that they were going to be shipping my hard drive and they did offer a full refund, but after nearly a month of waiting that wasn’t much consolation. Also, I am aware that the floods in SE Asia did put a crimp into the supply of harddrives. Also, where lots of harddrive prices nearly doubled after the flooding, the harddrive I received cost me exactly what it was listed at.
Unfortunately the harddrive showed up in a box with only a couple pieces of foam around it – no manufacturer’s packaging – and the ESD bag was ripped.
So all in all, an unsatisfactory experience. Really poor communication for nearly a month. Confrontational when they did finally communicate. And a product that I am not completely sure is legitimate. If I have the need for another drive (and I will) I will likely not deal with Amazing Cellulars.
Something strange about a company that is so questionable, turning around an claiming they are being ‘defamed’.
Complaint #2
Very simple. I ordered five (5) ST3500413AS hard drives on Nov 24, 2011. Their confirmation said “You will receive an additional email once your order is shipped”. Okay… no email received because the order hasn’t apparently shipped. However, checking the same item on their site today shows: “In Stock – Ships Within 4-6 Business Days”, but the price now is $89.95 vs the $42.74 shown on my confirming order.
We’re all aware of the flooding in Thailand and the subsequent worldwide run on hard drives. Late shipment is understandable. However you ought to indicate as much in your current shipping schedule and any reputable dealer will keep in touch with their customers. Without contact, you should not be surprised when customers start claiming “fraud”, “bait-and-switch”, etc.
To Rick (presumably of Amazing Cellulars) I have called numerous times. I’ve sent emails to both Amazing Cellulars and their cc processing service, Skrill (Moneybookers) and have received no replies from either. 514-400-8327 politely takes messages and 1-818-814-8424 rings, but never gets answered. Yes Rick… this is a valid order with 100% valid complaints. I still need the drives if you can get them. Copied next is your confirming order if you doubt any of the above.

Review #1
Amazing Cellulars will lie and tell you your item is shipping that you will get notification today then you won’t.
I have been waiting a month for my items that have been ordered they have my money and my product they say the item is on back order. I checked the items status on the webpage it says in stock for a higher price.
I was told I could cancel the order and reorder it. I sense a game of once I reorder I bet it will become available at the higher price.
AmazingCellulars.com is all over the web for scamming many I researched after the fact of buying from them.

Total scam through and through. Amazing Cellulars.com just take your money and dont deliver any product.
You need to call the police, and if you used a credit card, to file a dispute with your credit card company before it’s too late.
Here’s the police department in this criminal’s neighborhood:

Amazing Cellulars is a scam.
i am a bit late here but this company ripped me off too, they never sent my order from back in dec. hope it is not too late to contact my cc company and complain
You need to contact law enforcement.
Total scammers. I dont know if they were legit at any point in time, but they certainly arent now. They will take your money without sending you product. STAY AWAY!
What a joke, I ordered some hard drives from tehse guys months ago and havent seen anything. HUGE SCAM!
This company is a huge rip off. I was taken for over $100 from them back in the summer. Bought some items and they never showed and ignored all emails to them.
These guys are the absolute worst. I can attest to Amazing Cellulars.com as being a big time scam and ripping me off of money without delivering a product. Do not buy from these scam artists.
I too have been taken for a ride by this outfit. I ordered four Western Digital 2 TB drives and were shipped properly labled drives that were counterfeit with invalid serial numbers and do not work.
Well at least you received something, lol. A bunch of expensive paperweights… Nice!
I ordered 3 hard drives that never were shipped. I requested a refund but have yet to hear back. Will be contacting my CC company to try and get my money back that way.
Same story here with an order of hard drives. I too will attempt to get my money back by contacting my credit card company (Mastercard). Wish me luck.
I ordered 2 hard drives (Order AB-4501)for a raid 0 configuration from these jokers on November 16th 2011 and have yet to receive my order. They send a confirmation e-mail and billed me on the same day. Below is the listed BS that they sent me reguarding my order:

They said you guys got the money one day after my order was placed. They also said that you guys should be able to refund my order so I can pay for it through paypal. That is what I want to do. I will not send you guys an additional payment until my refund is in my hands, as trust is starting to become an issue with your company.

That was my last message to this Shit company. If I do not get my refund back in a week, Im logging a complaint through my JAG office through Federal channels. This company needs to be dealt with.
Contact your CC company, that is what I am doing. Even tell them to visit this page to see others complaints. Hopefully you can get your money back that way.
You are lucky you even got a reply. I have heard nothing from them. Cant get through to their phone numer either.
That’s quite the runaround they gave you. I wasn’t even able to get any type of response from them.
Your only hope is to contact the police (local to the seller), and if you used a credit card, to file a dispute with your credit card company before it’s too late.

Amazing Cellulars is a scam.
Yes, fortunately credit card companies are pretty good about this sort of thing and should be able to get you your money back.
What a joke. I cant contact police in Quebec. I guess I will have to see if AMEX can help.
I too have been poorly handled by Amazingcellulars.
Ordered on 11-3-2011
Payment processed same day by moneybookers.
Numerous emails, tried calling, never got a human being.

THEY ARE NO JUSTICE. THEY ARE RICH ONE SIDE, AND THE PEOPLE OTHER SIDE.
SHARING FILES IS CRIMINAL BUT STOLE THE PEOPLE IS LEGAL.
UPDATE (January 20, 2012)
Sad news for all those who have purchased items on this site of bandits.
Now I am sure 100% that this is a scam site.
They can send some articles, probably stolen, but they will keep much of the money you sent them and they will make you believe anything and never repay you.
You have already seen on television movies, TV series, etc., with scammers.
Except that it is not a fiction but it’s real.
And do not count on politicians to make laws against these criminals because the politicians themselves are scammers. Between scammers we “support”!
And believe that we are not alone in looking for sites like criminals “AmazingCellulars.com” on the Internet. The criminals also monitor to see what was said.
And when it gets too hot for them, they close their site to open others.
Is it surprising that there so much scammers on the Internet or elsewhere when we know that politicians are among the most dishonest people on the planet?
It’s not for nothing that Politician uses the “tools”: debt, deficits, crisis, etc. (words that mean nothing) for all cuts vigilante they do and all the millions of billions hidden in tax havens.
UPDATE (January 30, 2012)
Finally I paid ($ 225.26 + $ 15) $ 240.26 AmazingCellulars.com criminals and I have only received $ 89.88 in hardware (2 x 500GB drives).
So I was robbed by AmazingCellulars of $ 150.38.
If you multiply that by at least 10,000 customers, was the sum of $ 1, 503.800 (over a million).
We understand why there are so many scammers, criminals on the Internet and elsewhere. In addition they are certain never to be captured by justice because justice does not exist.
Finally there is justice for the rich and one for the people.
If you still think the site AmazingCellulars.com is likely to be honest is that you be really stupid or extremely naive.
Wow that really adds up. one million bucks? Insane!
Yes over the course of several months I am sure these scammers would have been able to take hundreds of thousands of dollars from innocent people.
I love how they told you “We used to take paypal but no longer take it.”. Yeah, that’s because PayPal received so many complaints they shut your accounts down. What a joke of a company. Avoid at all costs!
I order a Hard Drive to scum AmazingCellulars.com.
Now I know this site is own by criminal, by bandit.
I’m sure never received my Hard Drive now.
And at beginning I ask another kind of hard drive. They say they have and later they don’t have.
They even ask me more money and, yes I’m retard, I send to them.
I use the following to send cash:
5B Group International Inc.
7200 Transcanada Hwy.
St-Laurent, QC.
H4T 1A3
Canada
——
Justice don’t exist. What exist is rich and other.
I pay for megaupload.com and I’m 100% of them all time.
But rich use FBI to close it.
I’m sure no rich will close AmazingCellulars.com.
Because this crap site is rich.
So they are in Canada eh? I guess contacting my local PD would accomplish nothing.
I placed an order with amazingcellulars.com for a $400 piece of hardware on December 27, 2011. The item was listed as in stock and I paid for 3 day shipping. I received an order confirmation email after placing my order, followed by an email from Moneybooker.com. (Skrill / Moneybookers.com was used by the merchant to process the credit card transaction.)
My order was never delivered, nor was I give any update after it should have already been delivered. I emailed the merchant on January 4, 2012 to request an order status update. There was no reply. I called the merchant, but both phone numbers went to voice mail. I left a message but did not receive any call back.
I emailed again on January 6, 2012, to request an order status update, to which I received the following form reply:
“Sorry for the late call , we are working overtime for many late shipments-
Your Part#l is readily available but we wanted to talk to you over the phone regarding this. Our current payment gateway Moneybookers is holding your payment, among few others past 2 weeks due to late shipments and expect to release the funds within a Week or So, this delay compounded with the initial already delayed shipment.

Please advise as soon as possible”
The email came from orders@amazingcellulars.com but provided no name or contact information. It made no mention of my specific order.
I immediately contacted Skrill / Monebookers.com and was informed that the payment was not being held and that it had gone through on the same day that the order was initiated.
I repeatedly tried to contact Amazing Cellulars to request a refund by email and telephone but the merchant was unresponsive. Eventually the merchant repeated the claim that the money had not gone through despite my credit card having already been charged and despite eventually over four weeks passing since the original order. The merchant also changed the story and told me that I had to request the refund from Monebookers.com. Skrill / Monebookers.com again stated that the money had been transferred on the same day I placed the order and that I therefore could not receive a refund from them.
The merchant never provided the item I ordered and paid for, nor was a refund provided by the merchant. The merchant and Moneybookers refused to either refund my money or to provide the item I ordered and had paid for a month before.
I was eventually able to remove the charge from my credit card by disputing it with my bank before the limited time to do so had expired.
I very strongly advise against doing business with either Amazing Cellulars or Skrill / Moneybookers.
In the course of my efforts to resolve the situation, I contacted the merchant’s local police department. Though they proved unresponsive, additional complaints to them may alert them to the presence within their jurisdiction of a suspect that is taking money without delivering the items people have paid for. The police contact information is:
PDQ 7
1761, rue Grenet
[près du boul. Marcel-Laurin]
Accessible de la station de métro Côte-Vertu
arrondissement de Saint-Laurent (QC) H4L 2R6
Téléphone : (514) 280-0107
Télécopieur : (514) 280-0607
Update: After a month, I inquired about the order status again and was told that “the part# was slightly back ordered”. I then went onto their website and searched for the part where it still shows up as in stock.
I contacted the police as well but did not get very far. I live in Ontario Canada, about a 5 hour drive from Quebec. If I have some free time next week I might take a drive over there and visit in person. That might actually get us somewhere.
I was only out about $150 bucks to these guys, but I hate to see companies do this to innocent people and want to take every measure possible to shut them down and bring them to justice.
Very cool. I would be happy to chip in for gas money if you do decide to take the trip! These guys need to be stopped.
Did you end up trying to visit them?
Pretty interesting that they keep using Moneybookers.com on their website for taking people’s money.
Yeah, Moneybookers is pretty lax when it comes to things like this. They accept a lot of gambling sites that have scammed many people.
Amazing Cellulars.com actually used to accept payment through PayPal but PayPal shut them down due to too many complaints.
My order was placed 12/17/11. After several emails asking whether they actually had the item in stock I got an email requesting my phone number “They wanted to talk”. I replied pointing out that they already had my phone number with my order and that there was nothing they need to “talk” with me about that they couldn’t say in an email. Here is the response:
Sorry for the late call , we are working overtime for many late shipments-
Your Part# is readily available but we wanted to talk to you over the phone regarding this.

My quick response was to cancel my order – which has not yet happened. I have since got another automated email saying my order would be shipped withing 4-6 business days.
Beware people. This one is obviously on the verge of going out of business.
Same here. He says but provides no evidence at all supporting his claim. Moneybookers isn’t any help either. They say they both paid and punished him but won’t give any more information. Let us know if you have any luck getting a refund or if your order ever shows up.
I placed an order on the 3rd and still dont even have a shipping tracking number and have be given the run around as well. I am going to dispute this with my credit card company so that i can get my money back in order the product from a different company if i don’t hear from them in 24hr
this is my info, if someone from the company who cares sees this they need to over night me the product due to the fact that you all have taken longer than you should have to deliver my product.
Order number: AB-5176
Order Date: 1/3/2012
Please keep us posted on your experience and how your credit card company says to proceed. He’s got my money and has failed to ship my order too.
I still haven’t herd from them so I am going to send this website with all these complaints to the credit card company and dispute the charges because it has taken them to long and everyone else should do the same and go on their facebook page and say not to order from them like I did. And to the company you can’t say that you didn’t have more than enough time to send the product because my order was placed on the 3rd and I needed it by the 14th and even paid for express shipping.
Hi Ben & Amanda,
Did you guys ever get anywhere? I contacted my CC company and they are “looking into it”.
Good luck guys…
- Marcus
American Express says they are going to investigate it for me. Hope to be able to get my money back.
I have now received a full refund, less a few cents which I will put down to currency rate fluctuations, and have closed the dispute with my credit card company. I therefore do not consider myself scammed, but certainly don’t intend to use this company again as the service is so unreliable.
That is great to read. Gives me hope that I will get my money back soon.
Happy to hear that someone here was able to get some money back. Gives me hope!
Man I wish I had found this website, my hell has just begun. I ordered a Laptop screen from them and I have not even been given a confirmation number or an e-mail. Paid to have the thing shipped within three days. It’s been one month!! I call and leave messages, e-mails ect ect and nothing. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. They have no problem charging you immediately upon your order but don’t expect to get your product.
TOTAL SCAMMERS!!!!
Made an order on 12/18/2011 for 2 LCD Screen replacement, after one week, I have called AmazingCellularrs numerous time on 12/26, 12/27 and 12/28, sent e-mail about my order, with NO ANSWER AT ALL. Finally call their ccProcessing gateway today; Money Bookers, to report and ask for a TOTAL REFUND.
Funny thing is the girl at Money Bookers told me they are legitimate… I wondering now if Money Bookers is not a part of that SCAM.
We have asked for a TOTAL REFUND and we are waiting for it. In case we do not receive that refund we will report it here and all websites dealing with Scammers like AmazingCellulars.
MB
Unfortunately I do not have good news to report. I did receive a partial refund for one item that was out of stock. However the other items have not been delivered and I have been unable to get any response to several emails and phone calls. I have now opened a dispute with my credit card company to recover the money. I would not suggest that anyone else deals with this company.
Good news for guys like me… Hopefully I can at least get some part of themoney back that Amazing Cellulars scammed from me.
Rip Off Artists! Placed an order on Dec 1st… Contacted them many times via e-mail as the two telephone numbers listed are never answered. Was finally given some generic excuse emails about flooding & hard drives. SO WHAT I ordered an LCD SCREEN!
Contacted Money Bookers about non deliver as well as my bank. Money Bookers finally responded and AMAZINGLY I was flooded with emails from AmazingCellulars… yesterday Dec 20th I received a tracking number that proved to be false. Today I received yet another tracking number.
I am suspicious that when I do receive my screen it will be the proper screen, or it will be used/damaged.
Hi Erica,
Did you ever get the LCD screen? My guess is no
- Marcus
I’ve been scammed too. They won’t give me my refund as promised.
“Your order is being cancelled and a full refund is being issued for this pricing error-
Expect a Cancellation email and the refund details sent to your email on file.”
They not only will not give me the refund they now won’t respond to my emails. TOTAL SCAMMERS!!!!!!!
Order date was 11/25/11 and they sent me several emails stating they will give me refund but they never do. I was stupid for ordering from them.
Amazing Cellulars are total scammers. Before I order from anyone else who I haven’t heard of before I am for sure going to check this site. Lesson learned.
In the interest of fairness, I did manage to speak to Amazing Cellulars this morning and they said that two of the three items on my order were available whilst the third was on back order. They offered to send the items they had and credit me for the missing item. I am fine with that so am hoping the delivery will now arrive in reasonable time.
At this point, the only criticisms I would have of them from my own experience are the following:
1. It would seem their online stock status is not particularly reliable because an item I ordered as in stock is in fact on back order.
2. Their availability by phone/email is not perfect. I was unable to reach them through any channel yesterday and received no response to messages. However I did get through today.
3. They are showing all prices on the site in USD which is confusing for a Canadian company. This is because apparently the majority of customers are US based. However it would be nice to see the currency stated to avoid confusion.
4. Money is taken before goods are dispatched. However this policy is clearly stated on their site so whether I like it or not is somewhat irrelevant.
If my modified order is now fulfilled in good time, then I personally would rate them no worse than many small online retailers. Lots of the complaints are recent and involve hard disks. It could be that Amazing Cellulars got badly caught out by the situation in Thailand and have responded poorly, but that does not necessarily constitute deliberate fraud or scams in my book.
I will return with an update one way or another.
Rick – You do have a quality problem with prices on your site. Right now your top seller appears to be a laptop for $8.40, there is no way that price is correct. I suspect you will be getting many orders from people trying to cash in on such a pricing error and then you will no doubt receive a lot more negative comments for not shipping out such a bargain.
-To Alex (Delivery Proof Tracking #: Tracking Number: CX460603551CA )
Track on http://www.usps.com and http://www.canadapost.ca (Yet Alex Refuses accept the delivery proof and trying to keep the merchandise after we accidentally had refunded him Prior to Shipment) And That’s Why this notorious individual is trying to keep the merchandise and he has less than this afternoon to confirm a return or re-payment.
Alex is a fraudulent Buyer who Received The Merchandise for 2 X Hard Drives – After Being Refunded By Accident. He refuses to Return the Hard Drives Despite Proof of Delivery and That’s Why We are Contacting the Canadian RCMP And His Bank Regarding Him Holding The Merchandise While Refusing To Return It / Or Re-Issue Payment.
CANADA POST TRACKING PROOF OF DELIVERY -
Tracking Number: CX460603551CA
Track on http://www.usps.com and http://www.canadapost.ca
Delivered
Your item was delivered at 2:24 pm on December 03, 2011 in CINCINNATI, OH 45219.
-Alex appears to blind to evidence, and his motive is apparent.
-To Graham
Graham sorry about the late reply – Already confirmed with him over the phone the issue of USD / CAD, and his order shipping direct from a Canadian Based Distributor by UPS or Purolator Express.
Clearly this appears to be a very questionable company, even people who they appear to have sent here to post good reviews aren’t even willing to do so.. Does Canada have anything like the BBB to verify this companies history?? Sounds like a big scam to me.. And Rick? What a clueless donkey… FBI? Like they care about what consumers think of your company.. How about running a better company so you don’t get complaints? Easy solution I think..
I believe the BBB also operates in Canada, do they not?
I am also starting to get concerned. I didn’t order any drives, but did place an order in excess of $400 a week ago. Payment was taken immediately and the items all appeared to be in stock. I have heard nothing since and today sent two emails and left two messages on their phone lines without response.
I also find it strange that I am based in Canada, dealing with a Canadian company and paying with a Canadian credit card, yet my credit card statement shows that the amount was actually charged in US$. I didn’t see anywhere on the site that it states the prices are in either USD or CAD, but had assumed it was CAD because the company is Canadian.
We contacted the FBI in denver colorado where GETPAYBACK Inc. is located. As they are profiting off defamation of character and blackmailing us to pay them, service fee to remove resolve disputes. This entire company ‘GetPayback Inc’ is hiding behind the CDA Communication Digital Decency Act, While Promoting Slander, Libal Profiting Off Defamation and Blackmailing merchants which is illegal, and we are seeking full punishment under the law against getpayback inc, and other blackmailing enterprises of this nature.
I ordered 2 WD20EARS drives from amazingcellular.com on Nov 1st for a MUCH lower price than I could find anywhere else.
I took delivery approx 30 days later. During this time, I sent a few e-mails inquiring about the status of my order. They responded fairly quickly assuring me that my order was fine.
In the end, I got the drives that I ordered, somewhat later than what I expected. But they arrived, and in good condition.
I think that those here complaining about slow HDD delivery should recognize the fact that they probably already know. The floods in Thailand have severely disrupted HDD production/delivery/supply.
The delivery from Amazing Cellulars was slow, but I did eventually get my drives for a much lower price than I could have elsewhere.
-To Cody And Dan Herriot-
Offcourse both were offered refund, they both refused the refund, they want the item at below cost knowing full well the market place has tripled in prices since the crisis in thailand for internal hard drives. They would rather see a merchant lose money, and them profit off reselling them, as Cody had ordered an abnormal 6 QTY hard drives, with most likely intent on reselling. While our priory has been to ship to QTY 1 Buyers and honoring their prices to the fullest.
So Cody – Do tell the Truth instead of acting like the victim – you want to resell and make a profit and let the seller incur the loss.
As a mislead Amazing Cellulars customer, I can assert that the situation is NOT resolved. Because Rick seems to imply that I am not being truthful: pastebin.com/XgxgBrqm
I was offered a refund, and I did refuse the refund. The hard drives are worth more than what I paid for them three weeks ago, so I will not accept a refund for the cost three weeks ago. I will only accept a refund for the current price of the hard drives from a *reputable* distributor.
I realize you are all talking about hard drives, but I ordered a replacement laptop screen from amazingcellulars.com for about $200 after having a similar order canceled by laptopsolutions through dhgate.com, presumably because they figured out they could easily charge more. While Amazingcellulars total delivery time was 40 days, (order confirmation 10/18/2011 – actual delivery 11/28/2011) they responded to all my emails within 24 hours and, more importantly, respected the agreed upon selling price even though the market price obviously went up and they quite probably lost money on my purchase. For that I respect them and will probably purchase from them in the future, as long as delivery time is not as critical as cost.
One more for the books, I ordered 3 1TB drives on 11/22/11
credit card was charged right away. on 11/28/11 I emailed about the status of my order and got a response stating that, it takes 4-6 buisness days to ship and 3 days to deliver and it would ship out with in the ETA schedule. On 12/02/11 I emailed again- no response, on 11/06/11 called and emailed again no response. Status of order still shows new.
Thanks Ken for your support-
Although we didn’t make much if any money on Ken’s order- We honored the price and got the LTD Very Difficult part# to get for him, as we put PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT.
- So Cody before you start acting like a victim ,we are putting PEOPLE OVER PROFIT, But To Cody – You ordered an abnormal 6 QTY Hard Drives for the sole purpose of reselling at a profit. While we are focusing on qTY 1 buyers who NEED THE DRIVES FOR HOME USE NOT FOR PROFIT.
So once again Cody – tell the truth before you defame.
TO – MARTIN-
This buyer orderes late november – Nov 29, and 2 days later threatens after reading a comment onnline – This buyer was already cancelled and refunded, due to his defamatory comments and knowing full well he was offered a FULL REFUND upon request – He had ordered in less than 2 days , and already was complaining knowing the Shipping time frame.
Martin was refunded and is out there to defame and nothing else-
With over 70 DELIVERED HARD DRIVE ORDERS – Sastified customers – With full tracking delivery proof – we will have them comment on their experience when they choose to and expose fraudulent competitors and fraudulent buyers like Martin who are out to defame and have already been reported to the Collection Agencies for Fraudulent Filing a dispute after 48 hours of ordering which is in pure violating of the rules of visa and mastercard.
Instead of simply requesting a cancellation- Martin also, got furious that we refunded him before he got filed a dispute – proving he is abusing his chargeback abilities, and will be reported to visa international and mastercard international for deliberaly abusing chargeback.
Anyone request A cancellation is immediately FULLY REFUNDED WITHOUT DELAY – with Refund details-
Getbackback.com has already been reported to the Montreal Courthouse for promoting without validating RESOLVED SITUATION, of Defamation of Character we are seeking legal damages from Getbackpayback.com up to 50,000$ in punitive damages from their propaganda defamatory site.
Their Head admin was notified of this, and they are being legally served.

Where are you now Rick you scamming piece of ****!
Okay… I called my banker as promised. Turns out the billing agent, Skrill (Moneybookers)isn’t reliable either. Their confirmation for the subject billing shows $254.74 which matches Amazing Cellulars’ invoice. In reality, they debited my account for $256.78 ($2.04 extra) raising my cost to $51.36 delivered. Birds of a feather fly together??
Ordered in mid-November and have still not received shipment. Rep returned call and said he would check on the order and call us back within 15 minutes. It has been 3 days. I may have to take legal action which I’d rather NOT do but having forced my hand…..
My situation is similar to the others. I ordered five (5) Seagate ST3500413AS hard drives on November 24, 2011 on order # AB-4775. My confirmation shows $42.74 each plus an outrageous postage charge of $41.04 for a net delivered cost of $50.95 each. They apparently have not shipped as I’ve not received the now infamous “additional email”. Their phone numbers are useless as one takes a message and the other rings forever. Multiple emails to them as well as their billing agent Skrill (Moneybookers) have yet to be answered.
As of a few minutes ago, they are still showing the ST3500413AS drives “…In Stock – Ships Within 4-6 Business Days” although the price has been increased to $89.95 presumably as a result of the flooding in Thailand. The direct link is:
amazingcellulars.com/search.asp?keyword=ST3500413AS&search.x=10&search.y=4
I totally understand the price increase as there has absolutely been a world wide run on drives. My complaint is their total lack of customer service and that they’re still showing them in stock. It give the illusion of a typical “bait-and-switch” scam whether factual or not.
As Cody noted yesterday, I don’t want a refund… I want my drives! However, I do intend on speaking with my banker today to give her a heads-up on the transaction.
Same problems for me.
Ordered a hard drive 12 days ago, still haven’t received shipping conformation. I emailed them and got no response.
I did order four of their 2TB Caviar Green drives for $85.05 each on November 14. The website said they were in stock and they ship within 4-6 days. On November 26, they told me I would receive a shipping notification by that day or Monday, November 28. I still have not received a shipping notification. I sent two emails on December 1 and December 4 asking about my order status, and I have not received a reply. Their customer service number just rings for minutes. I will not accept a refund for the original price because it will cost me far more to buy the same drives today.
If many people are affected, I’ll file a class action. For every person who has posted, ten more have not. Email me at amazingcellularscase@gmail.com if you have been affected. If your order was not shipped within 4-6 days, you have a right to compensation.
I have already received several emails from people in the same situation. At this rate, we should have more than enough victims to justify a class. If it has been over 6 days and your order has not shipped, or it shipped late after 6 days, email me at amazingcellularscase@gmail.com so I can add you to the list.
Martin – We have 2 PHONE numbers on the home page, what number did you call? 1-818 number??
secondly, Call our Rep with your Order# and Item ordered. And if you ordered a Hard Drive, depending on the model, REMEMBER there is a Major Issue With the Manufacturers in Thailand, causing shipments To come much slower to most major distributors, being the PRIMARY reason, for the Slow Shipping. If you want to cancel your order- simply email or Call our Rep – 1-818 number or email your Phone # and we will call you back. And Cancel your order and Issue a Full refund for the cancelled order.
To George-
What is your order#, if you even placed one? We refused to sell to you at BELOW COST PRICE INTERNAL HARD DRIVES. Did you notice there is a HD crisis down in thailand, rising all prices? Show us your order#, or you will be reported for defamation of character.
We are waiting for this individual to provide his order# if he ever even placed an order. As this individual is most likely the Buyer who DID NOT COMPLETE HIS ORDER (NEVER PAID), and complained that prices went up before he could Defraud us by buying at BELOW COST PRICE -
The prices remained THE SAME for the ENTIRE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, But this ‘false name ‘ called george is mad that he couldnt buy the Hard Drive at BELOW COST when ALL RETAILERS are selling 3 X the price since the Thailand Flood Crisis causing a Price Hike world wide.
Remove your Defamation comment, or you will be reported for false comments on a NON ORDER , and a FALSE customer that Never even Ordered or PAID us.
We are waiting for you to provide your Order# and proof that you are even a customer.
-A NON COMPLETED ORDER – IE ‘NON PAID ORDER’ Because your PAYMENT WAS DECLINED does NOT MEAN YOU ARE A CUSTOMER. And the price rise REFLECTED THE MARKET for the internal hard drive.
we urge moderators to either demand this fraudulent individual to provide any proof order and payment and ‘NOT AN INCOMPLETE’ ORDER DUE TO PAYMENT DECLINE IS NOT AN ORDER.
We are confident moderators will get the story out of this fraudulent individual who is out to complain because he did not get the chance to buy an internal hard drive at BELOW COST when all online retailers sold it for 3 X the price.
Provide Your Order Or you will be reported for Defamation of Character and Fraudulent complaint by a shill indivual.
-To George – Posting our Company Address is already on the home page, so we don’t know what you are trying to prove, except defame.
We urge the moderators to get the facts out of this Fraudulent individual.

I can confirm amazingcellulars.com is a sham and a fraud.
I ordered 2 hard disks online. I quickly got a ‘confirmation’ by email of the order and the credit card was charged. Nothing heard since. Their phone numbers are a recorded message that tells to leave a voice mail, and then says that the mailbox does not accept any more messages (I guess your voice mailbox is exhausted Rick!), the other phone number simply rings forever. None of the emails get answered, I instructed my bank to dispute and cancel the payment.
Fraud, Scam, BEWARE (I should have checked them other than trust amazon reference…)
Hi Rick! If you are really from the Amazing Cellular cite please check into
Order number: AB-4877
Order Date: 12/1/2011
As you can see I placed this order 19 days ago and other than the order conformation I have received no contact from the company. I’ve emailed the company twice with no response and attempted numerous calls but can’t get through and never get a return call. I would just like human contact in some form call or email telling me my order status.
Thanks!
After six days my items have not yet sent and continued to be in status “processing”. Despite trying to contact you by email and phone you give no answer. Your website continues to sell the item as in stock and your office is located next to Canada Post … no justification is possible, it’s a scam. A complaint was filed today at the O.P.C. and C.A.F.C. against you and they suggest to call the police (G.R.C. / S.Q.) what I probably will do.
After the investigation of your company, it seems that MightyTechTronics and AmazingCellulars sharing both the same street address and even phone numbers (7200 Trans Canada Hwy, St-Laurent, QC. H4T 1A3 1-514-400-8327).
Although I requested a refund (what I will get easily), I think a short visit to your office would be nice …
