I've ordered from Piping Rock before without a problem. Today I placed an order and it came up with a credit card I used the last time. I've never encountered that before on their site! It didn't ask if I wanted to use that card or another one. I couldn't find a link to delete payment methods either. I did want to use another card, but wasn't sure I wanted to do business with them at all now. If I can't control my own account there's something wrong! I clicked to finish the order hoping it would let me use a different card, but no. I called customer service and they said they don't save card numbers and the card may be connected to my Chrome account. I use IE, not Chrome and I've never purchased anything from Google. She suggested I delete all cookies, etc. I explained this was highly irregular and to cancel the order. I expressed I will most likely not be doing business with them again. I also began to think about the fact that they allow another system to violate and manipulate theirs! I went ahead and deleted cookies, temp files, etc.

I recently had a boot problem with my computer. I guess that's what you call it. I turned it on and got a black screen, no desktop. I took it into a computer repair shop and they called the next day and told me the computer was fine, but it had around 300 adware in it probably from downloading games. They removed them with AdwCleaner and everything was fine. When I got the computer home I noticed when I tried to launch a GH game from a desktop icon I got the trial / own this game unlock popup on all of them?!. I logged in and got nothing. I went to the game website and logged in and retried, nothing. I decided to try uninstalling and downloading a game. I couldn't download from the My Games list. This is nuts! I decided to go to the game page and download the trial. That worked. When the popup came up I entered the log in info and the game unlocked. I also noticed at the top of the popup some statement about Trimedia. Trimedia is adware! I used AdwCleaner and it found 1 piece of adware, Trimedia. After, I went back to the desktop icon and again had to unlock the game again. So what this amounts to is you have to accept adware if you want to play GH games. I can still launch my BigFish, Shockwave and Amazon games. There might have been adware installed when downloading from these companies but you don't have to keep it.

I ordered from inkcartridges.com for the first time last Sunday and paid $12.99 for a remanufactured HP 60 tricolor with no shipping charges or tax. They send USPS Priority Mail and it came 3 days later. They emailed an order confirmation and a shipping confirmation with a tracking number.

7/23/14 - I thought I would give an update. The cartridge I purchased was an "LD" cartridge. I've printed with it several times and it's better than any new HP cartridge I've ever used.

1/11/15 - New update. I ordered another cartridge on 11/24 for $17.99 (no shipping charge). On 11/25 my printer died. I emailed about what to do to return it and was told to simply write "Return to sender" and a return authorization number on the package and give it back to USPS. The package arrived at USPS in 11/26. We don't get packages at our address and I was able to get to USPS on 12/4. In the information on the website for returns it stated that a refund would be given 1 to 2 weeks after the package is received at Inkcartridges minus a $4.95 charge for shipping. The package didn't get there until 12/19 possibly because of the holidays. I think USPS returned it parcel post or first class. I received a credit on my account on 1/1. Considering Inkcartridges may have closed 1 to 2 days for Christmas and New Years weeks I think the refund was done in good time. They also refunded the total amount of $17.99. I know the original transaction was free shipping, but didn't know if that included returns.

First, there's a lot of complaints about Abebooks not being the actual sellers. That's obvious because the seller and the city and state they're located in is plainly stated. Lots of websites do this, Ebay, Amazon and many more. Second, when people review Abebooks it would help to name the seller. As far as textbooks, if it's the beginning of a semester there's probably thousand of students looking for books and who knows how many are on the same page when they hit that buy button. Now for my review. I've put in several orders through Abebooks and I'm very satisfied. Books were as described and arrived within stated time. The companies I've ordered from were Better World Books, Green Earth Books, Hippo Books and Thrift Books.

11-19-14 I just wanted to add an update. I ordered 3 books from Blue Cloud Books through Abebooks on 11-14 and they came in on 11-17. Very fast but the package only had to go from Phoenix to Tucson. The email for order confirmation was sent from Thriftbooks.com so they must be affiliated with them.

4-9-17 With all the bad reviews I just wanted to say I still have not had any problems. I even ordered several books from Better World Books in Dufermline, United Kingdom and all was fine! PLEASE STATE THE NAME OF THE ACTUAL COMPANY YOU'RE BUYING BOOKS FROM!

4-27-17 I ordered a book from Better World Books/West (Las Vegas) through and they sent the wrong book. After contacting them they authorized abebooks for a refund and let me keep the book.

glenbrookfarm.com/herbs. Excellent website for bulk herbs and spices. They also have teas, herbal tinctures (extracts), essential oils, bath products and more. They answer emails quickly and shipping was fast. The herbs I ordered were top quality. I'm very satisfied! Make sure you put the /herbs in the address or you'll end up at the horse farm.

Funny how the second review is the opposite of the first. This looked pretty good at first. They download a "player" into your computer that has an icon on your desktop. You download games into the player and when you want to play you click on the icon, go to "My Games" and select the game. I downloaded "a" game and launched it to play. I found my pointer was slow and jerky which can happen sometimes and I kept getting a script error message that shut the game down. I went into "contact us" to get any advice and found there is no customer service. Why am I not surprised! There's just a Q & A thing. I put in my question and they come up with a number for how many answers for my question but they don't filter out those particular answers. I tried another question and got the same thing. Useless! I then went into "My Games" to see how things work and the system was downloading another game and had more lined up that I never selected! I couldn't stop the download and even tried to by shutting my computer off. I went into the control panel and uninstalled the player. I don't like surprises, especially when I can't get answers.

This is a great website for helping out without it costing you anything. I first found out about them through our local humane society. If you go onto their homepage you will see a variety of charities to click on. Let's start with The Hunger Site. The next page displayed you will see a line of tabs at the top of the page that you can go to each site with. There is also a box to "click for free to give". Sponsers count the clicks and donate money. The Hunger Site feeds people, The Breast Cancer Site provides free mammograms, The Animal Rescue Site helps homeless animals and also a few times a year they have a Shelter Challenge contest where you can vote for your favorite shelter and they have all kinds of cash prizes to be won, The Veterans Site helps with meals for veterans, The Autism Site provides therapy for autistic kids, The Child Health Site provides medical care for children, The Literacy Site provides books for children and The Rainforest Site helps preserve rainforest land. CLICK across the board and give. It's the first thing I do every morning when I go online. There's also a store to buy things that gives a percentage of what you spend to the charity you link to the store from. Please take a few moments, or longer, to check it out.

First, I love Netflix. I live 20 miles from town and even 1/2 a mile from our mailbox. I put one in the mail, they get it the next day and I get the new one the day after. I have a 2 dvds out at once subscription. One I use for movies and the other for TV shows. When they started the extra cost for streaming I was surprised so many people were angry. I read a angry comment on one report where a woman stated she used to subscribe to a plan with 4 dvds out at once. When they offered free streaming she cut down to one and she wonders why they had to start charging separately and threatens to cancel! Sounds to me like it was just a matter of time for the loss of profits to start. I didn't stream anyway and actually pay less for dropping it. The real crime here is the cost of high speed internet that is fast enough to stream. You have to spend $60 to $80 a month to get speeds that fast! In these hard times that could go for rent, food, utilities, gas. I can't afford it.

After a bad experience with buying Ni-MH phone batteries from Premiumstore.com I found Digikey.com. I still needed 2 batteries for a third phone and went looking for a better price for a pair, but later on in the day. This company didn't appear on the list of sites when I found Premiumstore but I guess it depends on what you put in the browser. They also advertised "Panasonic" batteries and that's what I got. They were $3.15 each + shipping! I wish I had found them first! You also got a choice of how you wanted them shipped. USPS was only $2.22 and they arrived in 2 or 3 days.

I have Panasonic phones and found this website to have good prices on what they note as "Panasonic" batteries. A 4 pack for $17.99 and free shipping. They usually run $20 for 2. The batteries I received were not Panasonic but some no name generics. After 2 weeks the batteries went dead and only then did I look up reviews on complaint websites and found there was alot of complaints about this company. I called the company and explained the batteries went dead and that they were not Panasonic. The sent me 4 replacements at no charge. What I got were "Phillips" batteries. At least a name brand but when I looked up prices for these batteries they sell for $7 - $9 for 4. I still got ripped off! People that wrote into some of the complaint website that wanted to return the batteries also mentioned that to return them you have to pay a restocking fee and pay for the return postage yourself! BAD COMPANY! But, I did find a good company called Digikey.com for batteries. Check out my review for them.

It's the worst place to look for JOBS there is. Most of the ads are spammers or agencies collecting your information. I especially avoid any ads that don't give a business address, phone number, fax number or email address. If businesses were to advertise in a newspaper at least one of these things would be listed. If it's only a Craigslist email address that's given, back off! I had to change my personal email address because I was getting 70+ spams a day. I really need a job badly but I'm tired of trying to filter out the 10% real jobs from the rest.
