AbeBooksReviews 715

If I could give 0 stars to this site I will. They listed the used book in good conditions and it has all pages falling. It is highlighted and some lines are so scratched that you can't even read. The price is not that cheap. Amazon had the same book "Like New" for $45 and abebooks sent this book in pieces for $40.

The book that I ordered thru Abe Books was listed as a good condition book. What I received was nothing like that. The book I received had numerous torn pages, liquid stains and full of markings and highlights.

We have ordered books from AbeBooks in the past without any problems. Recently I did order a book that I was charged for but the book never arrived. After working with customer service via email, they refunded my money. I have confidence that, if there are problems with an order, AbeBooks will resolve the situation fairly.

Bought a book that supposedly should be unmarked and in mint condition from a 5 star seller, in fact the book was worn and ugly and had seller signature and address in ink on first page! Be warned, you wo´t be paid for return postage as promised!

Clearly not the site for textbooks, i'd avoid that one if i we're you, but for casual/enjoyable reading books, they are ridiculously cheap! I bought 5 books for all of $14 they were all in fine condition except one maybe- which had a falling apart cover, but its still readable and it was an old paper back anyways. Not a bad deal all in all shipping was reasonably timed.

Well, I ordered a book I need for class on 9/6. The shipping was 3 - 6 business days. 9/16 came and went (6 business days). It is now 9/22 and still no freaking book. Meanwhile I'm in class for two weeks with homework assigned and no book. This is the worst, absolute worst website to buy books from. I've never had a problem anywhere else. www.abebooks.com is terrible and I do not recommend them if you want your book.

I ordered a textbook and answer book from one of their sellers. The seller cancelled the textbook and sent me the answer book. What good is an answer book with no textbook?

Most importantly, their seller ratings are worthless. There is no way for book buyers to provide feedback, their "Bookseller Rating" is based purely on their internal data, which seems pretty meaningless.

abebooks.com where they claim "Satisfaction Guaranteed". I ordered a book, only $4.42 where I was sent the incorrect copy. After asking them to correct it the policy is to send it back with tracking number. They want me to spend $3.99 to send it back and then I will have a net refund of 43 cents! As long as you pay for their mistakes then Satisfaction is Guaranteed! I got off with a cheap lesson on how bad abebooks.com is!

I Found some favorite old or out-of-print books at this wonderful site!

I would highly recommend this site. I have bought many books from many different sellers, and have NEVER experienced a problem.

A wonderful resource for finding those special, out-of-print books you can't find anywhere else.

They don't actually ship anything. They outsource all the shipments from other book sellers. I got 2 of the 3 books we ordered. The 3rd item shipped from Textbooks.com to a wrong address. Neither Textbooks.com or Abebooks will retreive the book, refund the book or ship us the correct book. Dont buy from this seller unless you want only two thirds of your purchase and the runaround.

I've had many and very good experiences with this site. They have everything, in every price range. If you can't find it anywhere else this is the place to look. Used bargains to rare and valuable, they deliver.

Three stars instead of four because the lower end bargains occasionally overstate quality.

I've paid and haven't received my books. The books supposedly shipped more than a month ago (Dec. 29). Today is Feb. 1. Every e-mail is returned with the same pre-prepared response explaining the tracking system. There is no phone contact option. My advice to everyone is not to buy from abebooks. Joel

I've ordered dozens of used books from this site over a period of years. Their inventory is excellent, and their prices are competitive. I have never had any reason to complain. Services like abebooks give book lovers access to items they would only rarely find simply by browsing used bookstores. I kiss the ground they walk on.
