AbeBooks Tracking Order Status

I was astounded to see some of the reviews left by others! I've ordered 50+ books over the years, some old, some rare, some paperbacks and have NEVER had a bad experience. Every one of them arrived before they were expected, in the condition it was described, and when I had a question for the seller I heard back within 24 hours. AbeBooks is the BEST!

I've just read all these one-star reviews for abebooks, and I don't get it. I've made 35 purchases since 2005 -- I just went through my purchases -- and I have not had a single problem. Not one. Nothing but great service from people who clearly love books. Really, there must be something going on that these reviewers aren't telling us about, as not many of the reviews are very specific, just a bunch of unwinding.

Good books at good prices.

Ordered a book on Abebooks from Bayside Books. Bayside sent the wrong book. I complained on Abebooks and requested return/refund. Bayside emailed me back saying they don't have the book I ordered. They sent me a label and I'm shipping the wrong book back for a refund. Very disappointed because the book I ordered appeared to be a good value in "as new" condition. I feel like they did the old bait-and-switch trick. I hope they come across with a refund but not counting on it. I won't be shopping with them again.

I've been buying books from ABEBOOKS for over 10 years and have amassed a 700+ book collection. Never, that's right, never had a problem. Books ordered always came promptly and in the condition they were advertised. Excellent.
