im eyeing product on both http://www.simplyelectronics.net & http://gadgetfreakz.co.uk but can find little online indicating they're safe.
i believe a sticky list of trusted retailers would be a good idea with so many sites offering the goodies we love
Simplyelectronics is trust worthy. I bought my Xperia Mini Pro from that site. I phone came a bit late from what they said, but I did get it and the customer service was perfect.
I haven't heard about the site Gadgetfreakz. Though to check if they are trustworthy, check if you can pay through PayPal and on this site TopCashBack, type in Gadgetfreakz and check if anything comes up. Hope this helps

I am in now way associated with this site, just wanted to see if others have used it. I am skeptical of sites I do not know...
if you have used them, how was the case and which one did you get?

Looks like they have the same stuff eBay has, but are charging twice the price of eBay...
As well, you can't follow the Verisign link on the page or the PayPal link on the page. Could be that it is a new site and they messed up the coding, the McAfee virus-free/secure link works, but in general you should be able to click on the Verisign image and see their registration number with Verisign, and the PayPal logo should do roughly the same, only instead the paypal site of course.
I would not, personally order from them because of the price and the lack of Verisign links working properly, although I have bought stuff from sites with a broken Verisign link... you can double check that by going to Verisign's website as well.
First my apologizes if this is the incorrect place to post & also if this appears a foolish question,
what is the general opinion regarding MobileFun what are your experiences with them are they any good?
I've attempted to contact them before to see if there is any kind of customer service via Email but was ignored this was nearly a year ago thing may have changed since then.
And I'm only too aware that many company's falsify customer reviews on both review centre and also on Google shopping cart.
Being an owner of an Galaxy note, there are few online stores that stock any accessories MobileFun being the most prominent on Google search results in the UK.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Oops! What a cleshay noob move on my part
I just knew I'd find a way to muck it up somehow.
Hi
Let me first put my cards on the table - I am biased (because one of my mates is a buyer there).
But I do genuinely buy a fair whack from there, and I can honestly say I can't think of one major issue.
All I can say is if you buy and have any issues - just PM me and I'll badger my mate to make sure everything gets sorted.
PS don't know if it makes a difference, they won some awards recently
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/about-us/
PPS My mate told me they had a a delivery of Zenus Galaxy Note cases, which will be going ontop the website today or tomorrow.... just in case you were interested.
Thanks for taking the time to reply
I can't help but be a little suspicious when I see reasonable price on niche products aka galaxy note.
The only thing i can rely on is this: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Negri_Electronics
anybody have experience with them?
http://negrielectronics.com
I ordered a Lumia 820 and 920 from them and I really recommend you. I live in Mexico City and I haven't problem to my packages. They ship to a lot of countries via UPS and Fedex (I got my two phones by Fedex). They can help you with the customs in your country if you ask them. Five stars rated by me.

Reseller ratings, unfortunately, is not a good sample to seek accurate reviews from. 9 times out of 10 customers only use this site to leave negative comments. While only 2% of all orders actually leave reviews to begin with.
Reviews found here are more accurate: http://nel.ec/NEGoogleReviews
These reviews are taken directly from the customer, by Google Checkout, in their follow up email that is sent to all shipped orders. This will give you a better sample, and size for your request.

wow never expected a person related to Negri Electronics to reply to this thread.
Ordered 2 HTC Butterfly and they were cancelled without explanation
Last week I bought 2 HTC Butterfly, from Negri Electronics. At first, the site wouldn´t let me buy 2, so I bought just one for $ 779.50.
I came back the nex day for the other one that I needed, and saw that the price had gone up to $ 818. I really needed these phones so I bought it anyways. A few days later, I get a refund notice from the 2 sites I used to pay for my purchase, Paypal and Amazon, and no email, no explanation whatsoever from Negri. There is something very fishy about this company, I´¨ve been researching online and found several complaints about them.
The phones I purchased and were cancelled without any reason are listed as IN STOCK on their web site, if I were you I would stay away from these people, just my 2 cents.

Very sorry to hear about your issue. Did you ask anyone at NegriCare about these issues before posting on this board? Often times asking a customer care representative you are able to get an answer so your post on this board is complete. Instead it just leaves others in the dark thinking that we did something deceitful.
If you have an order number, you can contact [email protected] and you can check on the status. Here are some possibly reasons it was canceled.
1. You paid with Google or Amazon and the order was considered "fraud" and it was canceled. At this point no email is sent from our behalf.
2. You paid with PayPal for a color BLACK Butterfly, which is not released. At this point the order would be canceled after 30 days automatically. We do not have the option to extend that.
3. The order was canceled because you sent an email to request just this. In this case your order would have been canceled and no email would be sent.
These are all possibly scenarios. There isn't anything "fishy" about canceled orders. In fact, it happens alot. The screening process is quite involved and out of our control. Often times the customer would be furious with us when we didn't do anything. This is why it's best to contact the company prior to venting on message boards as it might not have been under our control.
Please contact us at your earliest convenience. It's never nice to be called "fishy" and we would like to make sure that you don't have that opinion of us any longer.

You will always find complaints if you look hard enough. We just hope that you are able to see past the petty issues that a few customers had and focus on the great experiences others have had - and posted about.
Here are a few 3rd party sites that collect reviews of Negri Electronics
http://nel.ec/Y8f2mS
http://nel.ec/ZH6Pqf
http://nel.ec/R7riBe
Please keep in mind that it's very difficult to get a customer to leave a good review even if they have had a great experience. Often times the only time a review is left is when it's negative. Of over 56,000 successful orders, only the above have left reviews. Of that population, look at how many are positive.
No
I had a misfortune to buy a defective phone from this web-store. After the return, multiple emails, delays, unreasonable and unfair offers, they have finally suggested a partial refund which I agreed to just to be ignored once again. Today, 7 months since return, our dispute is still not settled. I wouldn't call that trustworthy.
Something has happened to them. Their "contact' page is missing. and my replies to my existing email chain are unanswered for 3 weeks.
Hey people Merry christmas and happy new year in advance.
I am looking for an online shop that sells android phones like goophone i5 or HDC I9300 and other awesome copies. I am from mauritius and well stuff are rather expensive here and by expensive i mean Real Iphone 5 is lets say approx USD 1100-1300. And well i really dont want to use that much money on a phone.
I've seen some sites like fastcardtech, chinaecarts and others, too many reviews with many different opinions and bad experiences like wrong product etc and also scam. Figured i could ask help from you guys.
Any links to some shops with good service, aftersales, response, handling, shipping, honesty. Well lets say great shops all in all. Please post them with any reviews and personal experiences that might help me out.
Or if you know high quality android smartphones for under $300 that play in the category of the likes of "LG Nexus 4, Galaxy S3" Lemme know.
Thanks,
Arshad

I'd recommend Everbuying. I sometimes get stuff from there and I find it pretty trustworthy
Thanks for the link i'll check it out.
Cheers
Any1 know where i can get the Yeezone S3 Mini. I can't seem to find any shop selling it,
And what do you think of the HDC Galaxy S3 mini.
Sorry im new user cant link.
http://android-sale.com/5i-4-inch-screen-1ghz-dual-core-mt6577-cpu-8mp-camera-phone.html
ok so i have settled for this phone. But i am still unsure. After much research there are too many conflicting answers and reviews.
1 moment scam, 1 moment good, 1 moment something else. I've even looked here and its the same. I don't know if its unsatisfied customers or people who never had any experience with them.
Could some people with experience with buying from android-sale.com light my path plz.
Thanks.
Hi folks. Did anyone know GlaDeal Store? It's trustworthy?
Update (13 March 2017)
After buying a Redmi 3s international got no reply for few days, then, after my second e-mail, they reply that: The phone wasn't available (but still available inside the online shop) then offer me to send me another phone, or refund. I choose refund cause Xiaomi (unless it is marked as international or global) it's not working in most of Europe country's due to the lack of Band B20 (800 mhz). They say the give refund the day after... I wait 2 days and nothing happens, so i call PayPal and pass the pratice to they. Curiously after vistit my shop account-board I saw that the refund was started, but with 8 euro less to the total amount that i pay for the phone.
I'm still waiting for PayPal for a reply. Anyway, they grant me for a total refund of the price that I paid.
Plus:
The online shop has security issues about SSL and DNS traffic. And this is not good at all for a shop that pretend to sell stuff online.
Greetings
I found this on google. Seems like a good price for the Z5's. Was wondering if anyone has used this company before?
I don't want to be wasting my money if it turns out to be a scam website.

does look a little dodgy and the fact they say the price was £740 for the premium and £626 for normal seems a little off as ive never seen them advertised as that. They offer paypal so you'll have protection from them if go down that route.

Ive emailed them and they said all their handsets are UK stock so I might try them out and pay using paypal.

Mate, the normal Z5 should only be £550-£560. Haven't looked at the site but I'd say they're dodgy.
Before I buy from a website I've never heard (or seen) of I usually check their facebook page first, if they have one.
I checked Nigel O'Hara (with 40k likes) just now (and their Shop Now button went to the website you linked just to make sure it was the same) and all I saw in the comments on their posts was words like con, thieves, give money back and so on.
Also google for reviews, it doesn't look too good
It's a fake site used by scammers.
