![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I purchased a eyewitness travel guide for Paris from A1books market place seller \u0022A1techseller\u0022. I assume it\u0027s affiliated with a1books.com. They usually have books that are cheaper than on amazon but I\u0027ve never bought books from them before. The new book was in good condition and the item arrived in a week.<br><br>It\u0027s hard to reach the seller for help and ask about the ship date. a1books.com has a seperate \u0022help system\u0022 with a seperate account they setup for you after you make a purchase. You can only get your answers when you login in the help system. Which is troublesome and confusing.<br><br>You cannot track you shipment or know when it is shipped either.

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I ordered a book from a1books.com the same day I ordered others from other merchants, including Amazon. Within two weeks I had all of the merchandise from the other merchants, but had heard nothing from a1books a month later. I finally contacted the vendor who supposedly sold through a1, but he informed me that he hadn\u0027t done business with them in years because of their business practices. ... I contacted a1books via email, requesting cancellation of the order, which they did the following day (no charges). I wish I\u0027d gotten the book, but at least they were fast about providing satisfaction when I explained the problem.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/A1_Techbooks\/review\/336217#comment336217","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/A1_Techbooks.jpg","store_name":"A1Books.com \/ webnotions.com (formerly: A1Techbooks.com)","username":"tysonius","rating":"3"}, "single");){kind=link}

On September 6th I was told one book would not be shipped because they ran out. <br><br>The other book has still yet to come. <br><br>A1Books does not have a number to call about orders and non-existent customer service. I sent an email about the book I haven\u0027t received, but an automated messaged said they would respond in 3 working days. <br>I needed my school books weeks ago.

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I was TRYING to order a textbook from A1books.com, but when I was putting in my payment information, it kept saying that my address or my verification code on my card was incorrect. Finally, I just gave up and decided that I would pay for a more expensive book and never placed the order. That night, for some reason I looked at my bank account online, I noticed that I had been charged FOUR times for a $71.00 book! THATS A TOTAL OF $284!!! I NEVER EVEN COMPLETED MY ORDER!!! I have a phone number- if anyone wants it- but it\u0027s no help. The number is 973.426.9995. The only reason I have the number is because it showed up on my bank statement online. Right now, I have left two messagges and sent many emails with no responses. I checked my orders in my account to make sure I did not accidentally submit my order and did not realize it, but it says in my account that I have not ever ordered anything from them. I can hopefully receive my money back through my bank. The charges are still pending and until they go through, my bank cannot do anything about it. :-( Anyways, DO NOT ORDER FROM THESE CRIMINALS!

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"Ordered 2 books from amazon.ca of which 2 were supposed to come from A1Books. The one from amazon.ca arrived no problem to the shipping address I specified. The ones from A1books were sent by mail. Shipping address was not a mail delivery address so they were refused by Post office. No notification, On a 45.08 order, they refunded me 15.86. They have shown no interest in<br>customer service. I would advise strongly against using this company or amazon as they have washed their hands of these dealings by their associated company. I would especially advise orders from Canada to use other more reputable companies that have an established name.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/A1_Techbooks\/review\/308719#comment308719","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/A1_Techbooks.jpg","store_name":"A1Books.com \/ webnotions.com (formerly: A1Techbooks.com)","username":"KenSaunderson","rating":"1"}, "single");){kind=link}

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"This store is horrible! I purchased a book with them on Jan 4th and never received it. After inquiring within 2 weeks later, they responded quickly, but only to tell me they apologize that my book was sold out. I subsequently asked for a credit and they NEVER responded!! It\u0027s been 2 days and no response. Irate is an understatement of how I\u0027m feeling right now. I wish I had looked up their reviews beforehand...after seeing everyone else\u0027s comments, I don\u0027t think I\u0027ll ever see my money again.

"I placed the order and paid extra for expedited shipping. Then I received an email stating that my order was shipped the day after I placed it. I waited and waited a week later I emailed them to find out where my purchase was. They replied that my purchase was sent on December 20. Then they gave me a tracking # when I checked there it said that the item was not shipped until the 26! It is now January and I still do not have the book and they won't help me and claim that 21 days of shipping is comparable to priority mail!"
