A1Books- Strong in some categories, weak in others. Overall OK

by ASourdough4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 11 '08
A1Books is an Online Merchandiser with an eclectic selection of goods; affiliated with an equally eclectic group of other E-Merchants, some with powerful reputations. A prudent Internet Shopper will know enough about a company that will create an ...

Hostile customer "support" and no phone number

by infinite_rabbi , Aug 31 '04
I was ordering two books on their site. However, there was an authorization error (mismatched zip code). I tried to fix it a few times - but each time, a duplicate order ended up eating a chunk of my credit card balance. I wanted to call a1books and ...

Don't choose a1 books, unless you 1) don't want to ever actually get your books and 2) enjoy being lied to.

Our company ordered 10 books from a1 for a seminar. We ordered from a1 because every other book seller was out of stock of this...

DO NOT USE A1 BOOKS

by nharbel , Jun 26 '08
A1 Books should be called Zero Books because that's what you will receive. My books were extremely late and they refused to accept responsibility for their errors. A1 refuses to accept responsibility for anything they do for that matter. I was never ...

NO costumer service

by rdrtwo , Dec 03 '03
I just to wanted to post a warning for people who might be considering ordering from a1books.com. Their prices are good but their system for resolving complaints seems to be quite broken. The only contact information they provide is a fax number and a ...

Not worth the savings

by seattlesoccer , Oct 14 '02
I ordered a book on April 27. It was supposed to be shipped within 1 business day - which would have been April 30. About May 13 when I had not yet received the book, I decided to email A1 books. No reply. I sent another email the next day and did get a...

Worst book buying experience in my 41 years of buying books!

by privatesurfer , Apr 09 '08
You promised you would refund the entire amount if I refused delivery. I did so weeks ago. I emailed you weeks ago demanding payment. You have not responded. For those who may be new to this case, and for your reference, Webnotions, A1books larak ...

In disputes, A1seems to view its 400 million customers as merely ciphers.

by cipher1 , Oct 02 '08
Nine days after I ordered a book A1 sent a Notice of Delay, which included an option to cancel that order. I responded to the Notice ON THE SAME DAY I received it by requesting a cancellation. I reordered the book from another company, at another on-line ...

The worst overall service I have ever experienced in my life

by consrev , Jun 30 '09
These people have an extremely horrible overall service. I don't even know where to start.  They have horrible service for anything you can think of.  Starting from the time you even try to put the purchase of your item in the shopping cart ...

NON-EXISTENT CUSTOMER SERVICE - NO BOOK - TAKE HEED!
