Instead of giving my personal opinion I am simply going to copy and paste the back and forth messages between myself and the company. I think it will speak for itself.

Good Morning,
I need a status update my order. Your site has not been updated since I placed the order. I reached one person via live chat on 4/9/13 who said I was #8 in your queue. All I want is information as this is the 8th business day since I sent the phone to you. Please provide me a status.
Thank you

You Said:
Return my phone today. I expect it put in the mall with the post marked date 4/15/13. This is not unreasonable as I sent it to you on 4/2/13 and you have provided not status update or feedback. Return my phone and issue a refund minus the cost of your shipping. If you do not respond to this or do not issue the refund I will contact my credit card company to report the charge as fraud.

Ms. Arteaga,
My name is Kemal I am the owner and I would like to apologize for the delay and poor communication. Your phone presented us with a unique challenge and was given special attention but I wish our team had kept you up to date.

We are a growing start-up and we will make improvements to prevent this from happening again in the future.

I appreciate your business and thank you for your patience. You phone will be shipped out this afternoon.

Ms. Arteaga,
Your phone continues to give us a glitch on the LCD. I will have our owner call you this afternoon. We are doing our best. Our tech is recommending that we replace the entire motherboard. Which we believe has more damaged sensors and chips.

16th Apr 2013@ 11:50 AM
You Said:
You cannot call me, as I do not have a phone. The phone you have is my only phone. I do not have a loaner. I have not had access to a phone since I sent this one to you. I was not consulted about the mother board when you discovered the problem and now I fear that if it was saudered, without my consent that Samsung will not allow me to send it back to them for repair. I do not authorize you to make any repair to the mother board. If the phone will not work without a new motherboard than I would not require the new lcd digitizer and glass repair.

Had I been notified of this additional problem when you encountered it I would have told you not to proceed as I have no intention of spending $500 to fix a $600 phone. Please remove any parts that belong to you and return my phone. I do not feel comfortable proceeding with your company on this repair. Send the phone back today.

Ms. Arteaga,
We were not going to charge you for any additional labor. The solder is a simple process to reinforce the damaged/bent parts.

I do apologize once again for the delay. But we will be able to fix your phone. However if you wish we will send you the phone back along with a full refund today. Please let me know.

If you would like us to complete the repair I will in addition to the extra labor and parts offer you a partial refund for the delay and inconvenience. We are trying our best to fix your phone and putting our resources and expenses into it. All we ask is more patience if at all possible. I do understand your frustration but your repair was not a turn key fix.

I went and bought a loaner last night. I appreciate the update. Keep the phone, fix it if possible.
If you cannot fix it keep your parts, return the phone and issue a refund.
If it returns unfixed I would expect a refund.

I have waited an additional 5 business days for a resolution. I have received no communication during this time. I want my phone returned tomorrow 4/25/13. If it is not functional I expect a refund. The post marked date on the package needs to be 4/25/13.
Thank you

You Said:
I expect that my phone will be mailed today as I requested as I have given you 15 business days to complete the repair and limited time is not a factor in the repair not being completed. Send back the phone, today 4/25/13. If it is not repaired remove any of your parts and issue a refund.

Ms. Arteaga,
We are still waiting for a specific part to be delivered from Samsung. We have been waiting for it all week as well...

I will be happy to ship the phone back to you and issue you a refund. If you could wait an additional week I promise we will have it fixed at no additional charge. Like I said you phone has more than just a broken LCD...

I did not receive my phone when I asked for it on 4/25. I did not authorize you to keep it and yet I have still not received the phone or any tracking information for it.

It has been a over a week, I have also obviously not received a fixed phone as you said I would if I had authorized you to keep it.

I have to handle this with my credit card company as it is now apparent that I am dealing with a fraudulent company.

Ms. Arteaga,
We will refund you your funds within 24 hours. When your phone is repaired and received you may pay us a reduced amount. I am refunding you now and your phone will be fixed but we are still awaiting the small part.

We will give you a call Wednesday morning or you may call us at *******188.

I received your voice mail and have read the above message. I understand the horror story you referred to as I have not received the refund you mention above and have spent an additional $200 to buy another phone since your company has been in possession of mine for 28 business days. I do not enjoy spending my free time talking to credit card companies or worrying about the loss of a $600 phone and the $238 I spent to repair that phone as I am sure you do not enjoy continuing to receive these messages from me. So this contact is only to re confirm that I have not received my phone, a refund, or a report of progress on said phone.
Thanks

As I never received a refund from your company I have submitted an official claim with my credit card company. I payed your company of 4/4/13 to repair my phone. That was 33 business days ago and I have not received my phone or a refund. In addition to the refund I will receive through my credit card company you need to return my phone to me.

BrokeMyCell.com Said:
Ms. Arteaga,
Your phone has been a problem and we have been trying. Our tech has done a poor job communicating the issue and for this I do apologize. We will ship your phone back to you in the condition which we received it. If we are able to repair it by the end of the day we will send it back fixed without charging you. Please understand that this was not a routine fix.

I received an email that my phone had been shipped with a tracking number but when I use that number to try to track the shipment the status is "Electronic Shipping Info Received" there is no location information. Does this mean the tracking label has been printed out but the phone has not yet actually been shipped? Please ship the phone back. I am not certain how many more times I can ask for the phone to be sent back before I will be forced to reach out to the New Jersey better business bureau or AG's office to file a formal complaint. You waited until my bank contacted you on 5/20/13 to refund the amount paid, even though you had already committed to do so on 5/7/13. I sincerely do not want to have to use the authorities in your state to get you to send back the phone as you already stated you would and are ethically required to.

-This has been copied and pasted from the company's website so I apologize for the funky formatting. I received the phone on 6/3/13 in the same condition I sent it to them.

UPDATE* 6/28/13 the company had my bank re-charge me as I had "received" my phone. I now have the pleasure of either being charged for a service they did not provide or fighting with my bank about the charge. I will be fighting with my bank and warn others as this is the first dispute to a charge I have had to make in the 11 years I have been a card holder. Others learn about this website.
