Never shipped my order or contacted me. I e-mailed over the course of 3 weeks asking for an update. Nobody answers e-mails or their telephone. I finally asked them to cancel the order and am now watching my credit card to dispute any charges. AWFUL, AWFUL company. AVOID.
Retailer Response (04/13/2012): Item was out of stock. Customer was notified at californiacell.com0-f29j@GadgetScope.com. bad e-mail address was provided by customer

WARNING!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM CALIFORNIA CELL OR CALIFORNIA COMPUTER, they are one and the same and huge SCAM artists. We finally received a damaged printer "direct from warehouse" and then were issued a RMA to return. We did so. It took over 2 weeks for them to respond. They were going to send another one ASAP. Another week and nothing. Then we were told that they could not fulfill and a credit memo for full amount had been forwarded to accounting. After repeated phone calls and emails, still no refund. We are pursuing legal action as we are a non-profit organization and $668 is a HUGE amount of money for us to give away for NOTHING. DO NOT TAKE THE CHANCE.
Retailer Response (10/20/2011): Product was shipped to customer directly from manufacture customer claimed printer was damaged. Credit was applied to customer account

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! Californiacell.com is an alias for californiacomputer.com The company intentionally stuffs good reviews in order to keep up its rating. However, all you need to do is Google "California Computer" to see all of the complaints for this company. They're almost all the same. The product is never shipped. How do I know they are one and the same company. Because after I purchased from California Computer, they never sent me the product. However, I got a receipt email from California Cell. Buyer Beware! They have no intention of sending you the product. I suspect that they keep your payment in an interest bearing account until the dispute is resolved and the money is hopefully returned to the buyer. Of course, they keep the interest.
Retailer Response (10/20/2011): Customer paid by PayPal and it was fully credited.

In looking for a notebook California Cell interestingly enough has good detail descriptions on what is included with their products, good links to accessories and available bundles, clear pricing and shipping information. Looks good. Overall Rating

Best price on the net by far and a good site that's easy to use. I referred a friend to purchase the same thing but by then the price although still the lowest, went up in price just a tad, so she didnt buy. sorry ! Overall Rating

***Avoid like the plague and order at your own risk!*** This company even changed their name from California Computers because of all the bad reviews they were getting on Pricegrabber. They are scam artists advertising low cost without having items in stock. Items ordered will be on back order without any indication of this BUT THEY CHARGE YOUR CARD IMMEDIATELY. Very difficult to get a hold of someone. Then they lie about when to expect delivery or about any other communication. Cancelling orders has 4% fee. In our case, because the item was on backorder, we did not have to pay the fee when cancelling BUT THEY NEVER CREDITED THE CREDIT CARD. Had to dispute with the bank. How do they stay in business??

WARNING: CaliforniaCell.com is Not Recommended. I chose CaliforniaCell.com from among cnet's listed retailers to buy a Lenovo monitor. They offered the lowest price. But low price means nothing unless you actually get the item you order. I never did. I received two emails saying my order was received and the monitor would ship in a few days. Two weeks passed - and nothing. Then they emailed me claiming I'd either canceled the order by email (which I absolutely had not), or by phone (which was ludicrous as I discovered when I tried to find their nonexistent phone number). I emailed them to find out what was going on. Consistent with their poor business practices, they never replied and there's still a chance my credit card was charged. Clearly, going with CaliforniaCell.com to save $10 was false economy and not worth the aggravation. My recommendation: order from a well-know retailer with a 5-star rating. Overall Rating
