Anyone have experience with this dealer?
They were just featured on Kijiji Deals for a Mophie Juice Pack case. Does Kijiji check out there merchants before posting a deal?
There is some stuff on this site that looks pretty generic, mixed in with some Apple and Mophie product.
Any feedback & insight appreciated...

I'd say NO! bolded and everything. You know why?
When I searched It up on Google I saw that It has super bad scripting?

ALSO when you actually go Into the site and scroll all the way down It doesn't have ANY of those BBB/Secured badges and what not.
I'd avoid It If I were you!
As for Kijiji posting up ads, I think If you pay them they don't care. Basically how I look at those ads on Kijiji I find them as a quick way of scamming/tricking people In reliable service and that Kijiji Is a cheap getaway of advertisement for that!
Also no search results except for this thread comes up when searching on RFD!

Enhanced?! They'd have to go a helluva long way to where it only needs to be "enhanced."
IMO the site is very clearly a scam and you'd have to be nuts to buy anything on it.

Too many sites like these to determine which ones are legit and which ones are not

Some of you posters just write reviews without thinking or using your brain, I purchased the Mophie Juice Pack on the 22nd of July and received it in the mail this past Friday, I have been using it for 2 days now and its perfect, after reading this thread, I was worried and so I called up Mophie to verify if everything is legit and it all checked out with them as well.
My suggestion to you ignorant posters that just call new sites a scam is to STOP, here is their Daily Deal that I bought, I dont think Kijiji would pass a scam as they are answerable to their buyers:

Without using brain, Hahah you are funny. Let's just stop warning others of POTENTIAL scam just because you told us to stop, Alright man good one.
If you actually read the posts you would have seen that I suggested not to buy there not claiming It was a scam but only because It looks shady with no web history at all.
Your Kijiji link.. Why does It say that their location Is: ICell factory? Never knew that was a place.

I emailed Kijiji about the Mophie deal, because there is ample evidence of credible Mophie fakes out there. Kijiji never bothered responding - bad customer service IMO.
If icellfactoy is actually legitimate, then I wonder how they are managing to sell all three sizes of iPod touch for $149, which is lower than everyone else in the known universe...

This smells fishy to me. @mehdiamanalla - I hope you don't discover otherwise with your Mophie case over time...

My bet Is that the person doesn't know what they're talking about or Is the person who runs the site!

Well you say you called Mophie. I also called them about the same Kijiji Daily Deal (Rip Off!!) which i never revived. They told me that iCell Factory is NOT a certified retailer of their product!! What they told me was if the site did not have a seal of approve which is located on Mophie web page they are not a legitimate retailer. If you want to argue this ask them your self https://www.mophie.com/Articles.asp?ID=294 . nice try kijiji. you ripped off another person.

I'm currently on a personal vendetta against this company. I purchased the "Mophie" Juice Pack in July, received an empty envelope in August, then after calling several times, received a Juice Pack in September. By the second week in November, most of the matte finish had peeled off and the Juice Pack stopped charging at 2 lights. I called them and they said they would send a new one. When it didn't arrive, I called back and they send to send an email. I did that, and it still has arrived. I called Mophie and they informed me that I had purchased a knock-off. When I called iCell and told them about it they told me to "be careful of my accusations". I told them it wasn't an accusation, it was a fact! He put me through to the "manager" Al who told me he would send an email money transfer "when he got off of work" and gave me his personal cell number. That was Friday and I haven't received this money transfer. I texted him this morning, no response. I called this evening, no answer, no voice mail. I want my $30 back and I'm about to begin a campaign against them to make sure I get it!!
