Mallory Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 They are so cheap and free shipping, even if you only spend $3 and even if you order from thier "marketplace". I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RecumbentHeart Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I always forget about them. I need to remember to include them in my price comparisons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Another view: my friend did some publicity for them, and they did not pay her what they agreed to in their contract. In fact, they paid her nothing at all until she took down their web page. I don't do business with them for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezus Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yes, I've purchased quite a few things for school there. Their customer service is good too. Once I had a book that didn't arrive, so they just sent me out another one. I purchased a Marketplace book one time through Better World Books and they sent me the wrong edition, so I sent it back for a refund and the seller personally sent me a letter reimbursing my postage to return it. Everything I've ordered from them has been in reasonably good condition, sometimes nearly brand new. Thriftbooks.com is another similar service. I just discovered them recently, but so far - so good.

Without really knowing the details, its hard to make a judgment on what really happened. I haven't really heard of that many complaints from this company, but every company does have hiccups every now an than. Yes, I've purchased quite a few things for school there.

I had similar issue with receiving book, but they were very helpful and apologized, sent out a new book right away. They also list their books at half.com so I do buy through them there too, if it ends up being cheaper somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I know they've got a good cause. I ordered something from them that never arrived. It was slow but I did get a refund. I ordered another time and the book was not in condition as described. So I normally avoid them on Amazon Marketplace. Just my experiences, two strikes, you're already out.
