Cellular-Blowout Website Review
Author: Mariella15 Feb
This is a sponsored review, however all opinions expressed are solely mine.
One thing more exciting than shopping for cell phones is shopping for them at discounted prices. Gone are the days when a buyer had to test his bargaining skills and haggle for a discount. Now many retailers or dealers offer mobile handsets at discounted rates and the website Cellular-Blowout is one such place!
Based in the US, Cellular-Blowout has a become one of the most popular Internet sellers of wireless products and has a portfolio compromising of more than 15,000 products. In fact the company also supplies to government agencies such as the Army, Air Force, Navy etc which validates the fact that Cellular-Blowout offers genuine deals and is not there to make a quick buck!
On visiting the website, the first thing you notice is the wide range of unlocked GSM cell phones and cell phone accessories. In fact the website is not restricted to just mobile handsets and offer a number of iPod accessories and other portable products.
Aiming to be an one stop solution to all your wireless needs, Cellular-Blowout has a great layout and navigating through the various deals was a breeze. I liked the fact that there were categories like Phones, Accessories, Phones By Price, Hot New Phones etc, which helps first time users to look through.
The website has been powered by Yahoo and has 128 Bit Encryption, so no need to worry about credit card thefts or other nightmares. Unsatisfied users can also return their product and demand a refund. Shipping rates are nominal and they also offer free shipping on a purchase order of 4 or more products!
Cellular-Blowout also offer an affiliate program where on referring the website to potential buyers one can earn some money on the side! On the whole I liked the website and found some genuine bargains. Those residing in the US and in the market for a new phone or any other portable gadget should give Cellular-Blowout a chance.

DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUYS ITS A SCAM

Best price and quality
I ordered a phone. They charged my credit card without sending anything. Issued emails indicating a short term delay, promised free charger included for inconvenience. They ask you don’t go to your cc for refund it will only delay process….my mistake to believe anything from these guys. They have my money, I have nothing. Worst internet purchase experience yet.
Scammers!!!!!!!! Same thing with me as above. Took my money through Paypal, who won’t investigate because it’s been too long. Why has it been too long? Because these Cellular blowout.crooks know if they string you along, it’s harder to get your money back. I have nothing, no response to calls or emails…but they have my money. Total thieves. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.
Same story. Filing dispute with credit card. Hoping it’s early enough to get my money back. No one responds on the phone.
Its a scam, for sure. After 3 weeks of no shipment, I am filing an investigation through my bank. I was trusting enough to use my debit card on this website. Got a representative to call me back and reassure me they have phones coming after they were delayed at the customs. When I said I need a refund, they said they will return the money. However, I still have to see about that. If I knew these people, I would drive where ever they are and smash their fingers with a hammer so they would never use the internet to scam people again!
I bought a phone from these thieves THEY CHARGED MY BANK CARD AND ALL AND I NEVER RECIEVED A PHONE. and they said there was a delay in the shipment. up untilthis day i have not recieved a phone or the accessories that they say will compensate for the delay in my order. THEY ARE A BUNCH THIEVES WHO LIVE OFF PEOPLE’S HARD EARNED MONEY.
Same exact thing happened to me. Web site said phone was in stock. I didn’t get it, they said it was out of stock and to please wait and they’d give me a new charger. I tried calling and it’s an endless loop to voicemail. Impossible to get person on the phone.
They finally sent email:
“Valued Customer,
At this time we are unable to issue a credit back to your credit card from this facility. The credit card processor responsible for charging your card has not released the funds from your order to our company, which leaves us with no funds to refund your order with. At this time, what we suggest is that you call the number on the back of the credit card you used for this purchase, explain to them that the merchandise was not received, the order has been canceled, you have received this letter, and you want to dispute the charge.
We sincerely apologize for this trouble. If you need further assistance please submit a new ticket with the subject of refund due. Thank you.
Sincerely,
The Cellular-Blowout Staff.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not reply to this email. It will go nowhere.
DO NOT buy anything in this site it is a Scam!! they took my money and sent nothing, I have been trying to contact them a month ago, do not be scammed like I was!!!!! they stole my money!!
yup same story as above: item out of stock, no contact.
I just have to wait 30 days and my credit card company will take the money back and refund me. Good thing i didnt use debit or other.
Do not purchase anything from this site… there is a 95% chance you will not get your order…They charged my card and i received no phone…Since i took too long to dispute the charge my credit card company couldn’t refund the amount. So i had to call action line where they have lawyers for free..and the best we could do is have them send us a different phone of equal value and was also promised a free car charger and usb cable, but only got the phone. This whole process took 6 months to resolve. My Advice: if you buy from them use your credit card and if the purchase doesn’t not come on the exact date that it is due (try to make the order 2-3 days and not 5 or more) then dispute the charge immediately by calling you credit card company. All you have to do is tell them you order a product it didn’t come and you would like to stop the transaction. Do not try to contact or email cellular-blowout because they will just send you emails pro longing this problem and by then it will be too late to dispute the charge and they will have your money!
Do not buy from them - they are scammers
They never sent the product I ordered after 3 months — I asked for refund which I have never received. its been over 6 months now.
I have contacted them over and over and still nothing.
I purchased a cell phone from cellular blowout on 6/14/09. They charged my card the next day. On the third day they sent me an email indicating that my order had been shipped that morning. Then, I started reading reviews about this company and I got a little bit scared about losing my money or getting a wrong/damaged product, so I wrote them an email which they politely answered, they promised that the phone they had sent me was new. I received the phone on the 5th day, it was the right phone! however it had a minor scratch on the back but at that point I didn’t even care anymore, at least I had received my product…
In other words, don’t buy from this company because they will send you a used product even if you paid the price for a new one.
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!
I bought a phone that did NOT work back in Dec. After a lot of email, Mr DAVID BLEEDEN finally sent me the code to send the item back for a refund.
I sent the phone back the next month and still no refund received. It’s a total SCAM!
David Bleeden also sent me his tel #. I am gonna pass it to all of you. it is 818-889-1789 ext. 203
He won’t answer any phone call but if you guys want to call him and leave him a message just so he knows how many people he is hurting, call.
