Do not order books with AbeBooks!! I ordered from 4 different buyers on AbeBooks and I only got one book delivered. I placed the order at the beginning of March and I have contacted the other three buyers about not receiving the books. I got NO RESPONSE!!!!!!! I contacted them a second time with the same results. I will never order books with AbeBooks again. In the past I have had good luck with them but not anymore.

The Place to Buy Books. Have been buying through abebooks since at least 2002. In over a hundred orders I have never had a problem. A time or two, I have wished that a particular bookseller had packed the books more carefully, but that is the exception. Some of the bad reviews posted here would be avoided if buyers would learn to read the listing. There are a number of large national booksellers that list on abe. That is fine, and their prices can be very competitive. However, their descriptions are often general and not specific to the copy that you may be interested in. In those cases, expect the condition to be on the lower end, and hope to be pleasantly surprised (it happens). Also, many books are listed with a stock photo, not the actual book that is for sale. If it is labeled "stock photo", pay attention. That is not the book that you are buying. If you are in doubt, contact the seller. Their response will be a clue as to whether you want to deal with them.

Would give Abebooks 0 stars if I could Would give Abebooks no stars if this were possible. Bought a book in January and it never arrived. No one replied to my emails and there is no way to contact them. Please do not try to buy anything from them as nothing will come.

This website is a scam This website is a scam. Books order a month ago, not shipped. Customer service form seems to go nowhere. No operable customer service number. They are owned by Amazon, so I tried getting a number through them. Fail. I wouldn't buy from them or their parent company, who refuses to take responsibility.

Horrible Company AbeBooks is an amateur website with no oversight and incompetent staff. I was shipped a $200 book via the cheapest possible method, resulting in the book being thrown on the ground in front of my house and lost/stolen. AbeBooks made no effort to use signature-on-delivery. When I contacted them, the representative was indignant and uncooperative.
