Excelltronics - legit? Good? Bad?

[Legion1248]

Hey guys,

Saw a great deal on their site (https://excelltronics.co.za/) with great reviews on Hellopeter (which is almost odd given how Hellopeter usually is) and on Facebook, but no reviews on google at all.

I did see another thread on this (https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/thr...tps-excelltronics-co-za-online-store.1189870/), but that was a while ago so I wanted to get the most recent perspective/knowledge from anyone who has dealt with them and how the experience was.

I want to pull the trigger, but am hesitant.
Any personal perspective on the company would be great.

Thanks!!

Thanks @Willie Trombone, did you see the previous thread on this?

Did a google search for various phones I'm evaluating to purchase and this store pops up with lower prices than the rest. Facebook and Hello Peter have good reviews. No google places reviews. No listing here. Has anyone bought from them and experience?

2 of the members mentioned positive experiences. Does that carry any weight in your view?

@Willie Trombone , no unfortunately not. I was hoping to get a clearer picture from this forum, but it's just not becoming clear yet.

The facebook reviews and hellopeter reviews seem too good to be true almost and no google reviews for a company in existence for 2+yrs is also strange.

The gmail address and cellphone contact only is also not helping with the comfortability.

The main reason I started to think it may be legit was the previous mybroadband thread with the one guy being an executuve member (Shadow_Man). It could still be false though and I don't have other supporting evidence to verify them.

Guess I'm stuck wondering for now

@Willie Trombone, I ended up buying from a private person locally, just couldn't take the risk in the end. Thanks for your help anyway!

I ordered a Samsung S23+ from them and it was delivered the next morning in JHB. They are actually legit and very interactive on either their email address or WhatsApp. I have attached the Invoice, waybill for courier and photos of the Phone once I received it. I did also check the IME number and it was valid for the specific phone I purchased. I am happy with my purchase. Hopefully this review will help those in doubt of the online store.

One post wonder- are you a shill for this company?

Unfortunately, I am not a shill. I have no association with the company except for the purchase I made yesterday. I am actually responding from the phone I purchased from the online store. As for me having a single post, it is understandable I did look for reviews prior to my purchase and saw that people were hesitant to trust the store. I pulled the triggered and was on target. Now I am just reporting feedback.

IF it helps (as mentioned in the thread) I ordered last year too and I've got thousands of posts.

They are very much legit and I would definitely re-use them when I get a new phone.

Yes, I created this account just to reply here as this is where I came when I was looking up Excell Tronics.

I think the person who mentioned her phone was shipped from Durban to Cape Town made me take the plunge.

I purchased a phone, sent the proof of payment and informed that they will ship it when payment reflects in their bank account. In the meantime, I purchased another phone and requested a refund, which reflected in my bank account so happy to report that they are indeed legit
