I dont recommend any one to sell from Abe books, they are delaying order and after that they said your book is not available.I send them to refund the amount but they didnt send unfortunately.Avoid them ,dont order from them.

Extremely happy!
I ordered 3 books. They arrived and the price was amazing. The books are in fantastic condition.... I saved a considerable amount of money. I would definitely recommend this site....

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.

Sent a different book than the one I…
Sent a different book than the one I ordered. Same author, but not the book title they advertised for sale. I ordered the I Hate to Cook Book and they sent the I Hate to Cook Almanack-very different books. I asked to return for refund-they accepted it but I will have to pay shipping. What a scam-it will cost almost as much as i paid for the book! I feel it is a deceptive practice on the part of the individual seller to get rid of books no one wants sitting in their inventory

It took a month to get the books!
I ordered the books on Dec 5th, with 5-14 day delivery. They finally arrived a month later on Jan 5. Their response - Dec 11, 2025, 07:43 ESTWe apologize for the delay. Your order will be shipped by this coming Saturday. When I emailed back to say I wanted to cancel it because of the delay in shipping, I got the following response:We are working on adding expedited shipping as an option, but are currently unable to do so. Our typical delivery timeline for delivery is approximately 4-14 business days via USPS Media Mail.It took another 8 days to be picked up but wasn't actually dispatched until Dec 30Picked Up By Shipping Partner, USPS Awaiting ItemWAUKEGAN, IL 60087 December 19, 2025, 11:44 amShipping Partner: OSM WORLDWIDEIt was finally delivered to my address in California on January 5.But here's the thing - they are a big enough company to use zendesk software which isn't cheap. I needed the books for students in a class I teach so they had to wait over 2 weeks for the books. And to add insult to injury, I never did receive notification of delivery.

Worst site ever
Worst site ever. Go around and around trying to find answers with the highlighted links bringing you NO closer to a resolution. Can't even get to the form to close it...If someone figures it out post it!!!

Deceitful Seller's Ratings + Supports Bookjackers
Deceitful Seller's Ratings + Supports BookjackersSeller's ratings on their website are misleading because they are based only on successfully completed transactions. The buyer's experience or any other "normal" star rating criteria are ignored. You (eventually) receive your book = 5 stars!Abe Books also supports bookjackers!For example, Greatbookprices is deceptive and "relists" another seller's book from a different platform (eg. on amazon from a different seller on Abe). As a bookjacker, they do not own or stock the book, they are the middleman profiting off a marked for a listing you did not see elsewhere. Because they are not the shipper, this explains the long shipping timeframes with no knowledge/support.

Surprised
Abe books is a great way to help the world use books efficiently and lower your cost of book buying. I had a poor experience recently, informed AbeBooks of it via "contact customer service" and got a fast reply that was both positive and evidence of upholding quality. Unexpected and much appreciated.

Terrible
Received 3 books ordered, but 4th has not arrived. The "seller" (Abe is a middle-man) will not respond. I'll order from Amazon in future.
