"This store is the junk yard.
I bought Nokia 701 and it was only 10$ cheaper than other stores.
I got refurbished one with dust under screen and scratches at the back.
I sent them an email 2 times with no reply.
I had to open the dispute on PayPal and was told to return the phone providing the tracking number.
Here is what you lose if you are abroad:
UPS clearance fee + Tax+ shipping back.
It was 70$ for me even I won the PayPal dispute.
And that is how they do the business, not everyone will return the 260$ phone losing 70$ which is 25% of the purchase.

"Ordered a phone on March 30th, had not received it on April 4th. I called and they told me that the phone was tested before it was shipped and unfortunately it was defective so they did not send it. Sadly, they did not have another one on hand. They cheerfully refunded my payment and my money was back in my PayPal account within 15 minutes of my call! I wound up buying the phone somewhere else at a slightly higher price.
I would absolutely consider doing business with them again in the future."

"After extensive research and about to give up on an old-style "feature" unlocked phone (non web-enabled phone), I located what I wanted at Overseas for 1/3 of the price on this hard-to-find unit. I called to be sure it was new, and was told yes. I went ahead and placed the order (these guys answered the phone late on a Saturday to my surprise)and was told it would be shipped the following Monday and would include a USA power adapter. My phone arrived on time as promised, but I could not locate the power adaptor. I called and Luis asked me to double-check the package, and if I could not find it he would send me one without charge or question. To my surprise, it was included (it was the same color as the styro 'peanuts' and blended in, causing me to miss it). I called back and spoke to Luis and apologized. These guys are great and you will be glad of the shopping experience because they are trustworthy and will follow through on what you order. THANK YOU LUIS YOU GUYS ROCK!!!"

"Beware! Selection of products is good. Prices are reasonable, but by no means the best. Sales staff does not know enough about cell phones to help with the selection. They lied to myself and the friend about being able to exchange a phone if we changed the mind. They did not honor their word. I will never buy form them again nor recommend anyone to buy from them either!"

"I like this company, they shipped on a timely manner and they have a extensive line of phones, phones you can't get at the normal cellphone store ( Tmobile, A&Tt etc).
I was happy for all the purchases i made from them."

"I have had nothing but trouble from these guys. my first was when I bought an I-Mate Pda2k cell,pda,pc from them. the package arrived and all the accessories were missing; Icalled and they had to find replacements. this was a used phone.my second was successful where I bought a qtec 9100, it was a good phone but suffered a drop and did not function well. I called for a replacement and was told that it was no longer available. Louis, of Welelectronics suggested a Kjam. I ordered this phone for nearly 500 dollars and when I recieved I found the call history dated back to 2007, an old used phone. they sold this phone for a new phone. I sent it back and was now told that all four of the kjams were used. When I talked to Louis and told him that this phone had a call history he poretended to be surprised and funneled me toward a sonyericsson x2 experia. I had him ship it on 2 day at 25$ and got it a week later. this phone had a frozen screen and I had to return this phone at my own expense. the attitude was arrogant, deprecating and showed no concern for these business practices. I have found another source for unlocked, gsm, quad phones and will never order from this "company" again!"

"I ordered a 3000watts transformer from this company to use with a 220volts soybean milk making appliance my wife bought back from China. When the transformer arrived we found out that they have shipped us the wrong model. I called this company and their manager/owner Mr. Azam was very kind and helpful to offer a better replacement, LiteFuse LR-5000. Needless to say we were overjoyed and thankful for his gesture. When the shipment arrived, we were surprised that their shipping department had accidently shipped THG-5000U/D instead of LiteFuse LR-5000. We tested the transformer but it keep buzzing after a few minutes and has to be unpluged to reset all the time. We conclude that we still need the LiteFuse LR-5000 because it has a built-in regulator. Again I called Mr. Azam and he bend himself backward to comply with my request to ship me the LiteFuse LR-5000 when he receive his shipment from China. I am waiting for the LiteFuse LR-5000 to arrive, hopefully soon, and forever grateful for Mr. Azam's thoughtfullness in this regards. I am pleased with the purchase and would definitely recommend this company to anyone.
We received the LiteFuse LR-5000 a few days later and it has worked beautifully. Thanks again to Mr. Azam."

"I have done business with Overseas Electronics(www.welelectronics.com)/labbek@aol.com as far back as 2008. This company is located in Chicago, IL. Their site is clearly marked with their information. Recent purchases that I have made with them are as follows: (each phone is purchased on different dates that go back to January 2010): Samsung S5230, LG GX500, Nokia 6700, Nokia 7260, Samsung B5702, Sony Ericsson W980i, and Sony Ericsson G705. Each phone has been shipped in a timely manner and in excellent condition. I HAVE HAD ONLY POSITIVE EXPERIENCES WITH THEM! I have never had a problem with them that would warrant a negative review!! Any issues that have come up they have always been good about remedying the situation. If I decided that I did not want the phone or realized that the phone would not be compatible in the U.S.A. (because I misread their ad) they have always been good about exchanging for another item. I do not understand some of the negative reviews listed about them. For example: Reviewer GUAC who seems to ask the reader to find out if they're operating under other business names since he had a bad experience with another company in California with a similar name. Did this reviewer buy from Overseas in Chicago? I mean, ResellerRatings only requests for a purchase date & order number which is not enough info to verify the legitimacy of some of these reviews. Does RR even call Overseas to verify order numbers? I also question the negative reviews who don't even call to speak with Asam to resolve their issue with an order but decide to leave negative feedback anyway. Since I have done business with them I would recommend calling them to make sure an item is in stock. If for any reason the item is no longer in stock when originally it was then they will gladly refund any money owed to you (which has happened to me before). It's not life or death people! Personally, I would definitely recommend doing business with them."
