Purchased a Sony Ericsson TXT Pro phone from them in person in October 2012 after looking on the web. Phone had some issues. Sent it to Sony Ericsson/Sony Mobile for repair several times with no results. They requested a printed receipt with the IMEI# on it for replacement after the third time. Contacted Popular Electronics via phone, e-mail and fax to request the printed receipt with no response. Called once and was given an e-mail to request it. Searched and got several other e-mail addresses that I included and still got no response after about one and a half to two months. Resorted to other means to get issue resolve with Sony Ericsson/Sony Mobile on issue. Finally was resolved in April of 2013 with no contact at all from Popular Electronics.

Uhhh...theft anyone?!?!? Stay away from them and take my advice - buy from reputable websites or your cell provider directly. And these positive reviews are so fake ("best store in the world!!!") - WHO WRITES THAT? Obviously they are writing their own reviews. Avoid - Avoid -...
Read moreI needed a PAL DVD player. The folks at Facets Multimedia recommended Popular Electronics on Devon. I am one happy customer! I took in the particular DVD, zoned for South America, that I want to be able to play. The salesman was super-helpful and patient with my questions. He showed me 2 models and explained the features of each. Then, after I picked the one I wanted, he opened the box, plugged it in, and made sure that it worked for the DVD I brought in. I have NEVER gotten this kind of service and attention to quality anywhere, not Best Buy, not Sears, not TigerDirect, not a mom & pop store. For any electronics buys in the future, I will come here first. Oh, and the price was...
