They have a good record with the BBB:

And several other places too. I can't find any reason to be suspicious, this is as legitimate as it gets.

Same thing there. I'm impressed. Probably less than one in a hundred of the sites people ask about here are actually legitimate

Cellswholesale.com seems legit but sent me two bad phones in a row
Cellswholesale.com seems legit but I am having a real bad experience with them. I ordered a Blackberry Bold 9000 from Cellswholesale.com website. The first one came with a defective release button that wouldn't hold the back cover in place. It took me almost a week to contact their support. The "Open 7 days a week" Live Support number was never picked up no matter what time of the day I called. The phone message says 90% of the calls are answered in 2 minutes and I got voice mail every time. And my voice mails were NEVER returned. Emails to support@cellswholesale.com was never answered. Finally tracked down their live chat support person and got a RMA approved to exchange for a new one. But I had to pay $10 to ship the phone back to them before they would send out a replacement.

Today the replacement came but it would not boot up. It never even got to the AT&T logo because it got stuck as soon as I turned it on or plugged in the charger. The screen stayed white for 30 minutes and nothing happened! I am wondering if their phones are refurbished or if they are second tier (never passed Q.C. 100%). Ordering from Cellswholesale.com has been frustrating for me. I am not sure how long it will take for me to even return this second defective unit. Should have just bought it at an AT&T store.

Company Rating F

http://www.la.bbb.org/Business-Repor...sale-100043545

Our opinion of what this rating means:
We strongly question the company’s reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.

Further bad news, I'm afraid. The website seems to have been replaced by an ad-laden search portal. Either the business has entered new hands or it has experienced a severe decline since 2007.
