NoI got a order of books a month ago and it was short a book and it has not been credited to my account.

User's recommendation: Just no.

I would like to know more about your company and if there are any hidden or monthly fee. Also do I have to be a member to purchase books from you?

Sir, I am trying to find out if my electronic mail messages sent to you, give the requisite permission for you to apply needed additional SHIPPING charges to my order, to release the hold on my book, Introduction to Fluid Dynamics, and subsequently ship the book. It is my understanding that the order is oversized (?), thereby necessitating additional shipping charges be applied. Thank you, Robert Richards

I was told Like New books are technically a type of used book (because of the modifier like) and used books sometimes get damaged, so I should have expected to receive a book with a ripped spine and can't be refunded shipping for a return. They are a scam, and there are better book-buying options out there.

I ordered 2 books from Indoo thru Abebooks on 11/12. Received order confirmation stating order shipped usps on 11/14. I emailed them 4 times requesting a tracking number listed on shipping label. They emailed back with a robo response that states the same info but no tracking #. Shipping from NJ to NY is 2-3 days. I received another book from different seller on Abebooks further away from WI in 3 days. They say I have to wait until 12/4, the full 15 days before I can request a refund. Why? Especially when seller is uncooperative in providing a tracking # that is on THE SHIPPING LABEL!! I wished I would have researched Indoo before ordering; but who routinely does that?? They had a 5 out of 5 star rating on Abebooks. Had I found out they had complaints that go back over 10 years, I would've ordered from different seller. During my research of Indoo, I contacted the Dept. of consumer affairs (732) 398-****, and suggest others do too and file a claim with them as well as their credit card/bank. Truly frustrating, having to adopt a buyer beware positon.

One and done with these unethical folks. I purchased a new book with expedited shipping online from Ergode Books (EB) of Richmond, TX through AbeBooks.com, the latter of which has normally ethical resellers. The expedited shipping should have arrived in 3-8 business days. I ordered on June 24, they took payment and allegedly shipped on June 26, but the book failed to arrive by the Wed after July 4. I complained, and they acknowledged the book was lost and they had not used tracking for it. They inquired as a result by email how I wanted to proceed. After I checked their online AbeBooks Bookseller Inventory and found that they had a 2nd new copy of the book, I told them to send that replacement copy to me overnight with tracking and we'd be "good". Then things went totally "south". EB told me they had no more new versions in inventory (from the evidence I mentioned, an outright alleged L-I-E). Then they went full bait-and-switch and offered me a worn book of indeterminate quality at a paltry discount. I sent them evidence (see attached file) that they DID have a replacement copy and again asked for them to replace my lost copy with it. I also brought AbeBooks Customer Service into the discussion - CS was not happy about my treatment and did do everything they could to get the recalcitrant EB to try to give me satisfaction. In the end, EB, a 2ND TIME, refused to acknowledge they had a replacement copy they could send me and AGAIN tried to foist a lesser quality version on me for a similar insulting discount. I took my full refund instead, and I encouraged AB CS to consider chastising EB for their abject behavior in re: to my sale. Bottom line, EB does not use tracking and is outright willing, IMHO, to engage in duplicity with customers to cover their dropped shipments. A true poster child outfit for caveat emptor.
