Great place to get used or out of print books, so far I have encountered good merchants who ship your orders fast(er) than those selling through the big 'Ama' site. Most sell their books for less than what it costs to ship it to you. I recently ordered 4 books from different merchants all at the same time, Abebooks did the order, allocating the parts of the order to the corresponding merchant. I did not have to place 4 separate orders.

They also sell on Amazon. Purchased a book, they sent a foreign publication... said the book I ordered was not in stock. Return the book to "address"... so now 30 days later, no refund and out another 2 shipping charges, you see the "address" they said to send the book to was bogus. So the post office made me pay return shipping to myself to get the book back. I would avoid this firm at all costs because it will cost you time, effort and money. Along with some bad vibes running through your head.

I ordered a venting pipe for my furnace, "60 IN STOCK" and was told the next day after inquiring about the status, the product is not in stock and will be shipped straight from the manufacturer. I then received an e-mail stating that the item would ship "in about a week". I called the vendor and asked to cancel the order. I was told they would have to stop the manufacturer from fabricating the item and get back to me. After not hearing from them, I called the manufacturer and was told they do not do business with these companies and have been getting a lot of call's from customer's "wondering where their item's are"! This site is just one of many under "Build.com", so beware.
