I ordered a book last June, to be delivered to a Swedish address, and it still hasn't arrived.
Just try finding an address/phone number to complain to on this site!
Impossible!

I had a very unpleasant experience using AbeBooks. I found a product advertised through AbeBooks on Google and purchased it for $300. Two weeks later, I received a completely different item that was in no way related to what I had ordered and paid for.
It took numerous attempts to contact the third-party seller, Pages of Boston, to resolve the mistake on their end. After nearly two months, I finally received a return shipping label. However, I was later informed that the book did not arrive back to Pages of Boston in satisfactory condition. As a result, AbeBooks did not issue a refund of my $300, and I was not allowed to keep the incorrect book that had been sent to me.

This entire experience was a complete nightmare and a significant waste of my time, energy, and money. I will not be using Abebooks again.

We have purchased books from a ebooks sellers for decades. In general I would say we would give it 4-5. Books that didn't come but charge removed, books that shipping took longer. Otherwise great experience; I was looking at body in the library and my husband thought he would surprise me, but I had purchased the book and we discovered it before the book arrived; we immediately contacted manor Collectables, but didn't hear back and they refused to take back an $1100 book; we said we would return it overnight by fedex, but they refused. We could have paid additional handling but no; this just bad by practice. The fact that after 20 years abebooks doesn't think it needs to intervene is sad. Avoid manor collectables, not reputable

Don't even think about using this company. I purchased a book, was informed it would be with me before Christmas... it wasn't. The book never turned up and Abe Books didn't care. In the end I had to go through my credit card company in order to get a refund.

Abe Books stole my money!

I ordered a cookbook for my daughter for Christmas. Abe Books sent me a book about animals. I found out how to return the book they sent in error for the correct book, or.a refund. Well, they just canceled my refund because they said I didn't follow the rules. Amazon, their parent company, I'd notorious for screwing ppl on refunds. Will not be ordering from Abe again.

Very Poor

Be very careful of dealing with an Emile P, his command of English is extremely poor and he is extremely lazy. He refused to help me sort a problem and I lost nearly $300 because he has blocked any correspondence and access to the abebook platform.

Hideous company

Hideous company. They do not stand behind the 3rd party suppliers. I will never ever use them again

Really bad

Not good. Poor customer service and lead time. Bought expedited shipping (3-5 days), its now 8 days later and no book. No response from seller or abebooks in days. Avoid this company that cant seem to do the right thing or even respond.
