No response

This is a real review. Ordered 4 books Part of a buy3 get one free. Received books and one of the books wasn't the ones I ordered. Which, I am understanding of, mistakes happen. But for several days now, I have not gotten a response back after I've inquired about this matter. No response, nothing. That...is unacceptable.

No Refunds

I accidently purchased the wrong book. I requested it to be cancelled on the same day I placed the order. Actually, within the same hour. I requested on the order page AND sent a separate email to support through the customer portal. The only response I received was the next day and it simply said, "Order has been processed". I immediately replied to that email requesting clarification and if a refund has been processed. I never got a reply back but I did receive a "Customer Satisfaction" email that day as if the ticket had been closed. The following day I replied to the email again requesting confirmation that the order has been cancelled and a refund issued. No reply. A couple days later, I put in another message through the customer portal about this issue. No reply. And then two days after that, I received an email saying the order has been shipped. A couple days after that, I receive another Customer Satisfaction email. And now, days later, here I am with still no reply, no refund, and supposedly a book I don't want on the way :(

No refunds

I ordered a book through Abesbooks which shipped from SecondSale. The moment I ordered, I noticed I ordered a hardback instead of soft back. I immediately contacted SecondSale to cancel that order and refund the charge. They said they would. Never happened. I contacted them again a couple weeks later and they said they would re-refund the charge. Now, over a month later, nothing. I contacted Abe's and, through their site, again requested a refund. No response at all. So, if you order something and you change your mind, do not expect any refund for you. Therefore, I can say, no customer service. Be sure of your order because there is no chance of a refund, in my experience. Be ware!

This seller constantly lies to the customers. They say that the books they sell are good, but is not true. They sell books that are uselessly.

BUYER BEWARE

On October 14, 2024 I contacted SecondSale telling them I had received 2 novels instead of two copies of a particular book I had ordered. I wrote asking how this could be fixed, I wanted the 2 I had ordered and I needed to get the wrong books back to them. On the 15th they emailed saying, "If you would like to keep the item - please reply indicating you would like a 20% credit back to your original form of payment due to not meeting expectations. OR if you would like to return the item, for a full refund, please let us know." I emailed back, "I want a refund so I can buy the 2 books I originally ordered of Carmen Renee Berry’s. I don’t read novels. So, how do I get these 2 books back to you? And, do you not have her Loving Yourself as Your Neighbor?" I emailed again on the 22nd AND the 29th. No response back. So, I'm stuck with books I don't want and have been beat out of the money I paid for books I didn't get. BUYER BEWARE OF DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AND... SPREAD THE WORD!

Wish I had a more positive review

Wish I had a more positive review, but in the recent 'buy 3 get one free' sale three of the four books I ordered were out of stock - I received notification several days AFTER I received a shipping notice. Weird timing no doubt due to the holidays.

I placed an order during their buy 3 get 1 free sale. I received 3 of the 4 books. The 3 I received were sent in a timely manner. I emailed 3 different times over a 2 to 3 week period and have yet to receive a response. I would prefer to have the book but would have taken money back but I have neither. I will not be using nor recommending them unfortunately.

Very poor customer service and not as described

Very poor customer service. I messaged three times regarding a missing book that was not included with the three other books I ordered at the same time, no response and out the book and the money. Other orders included books described as very good or good that are not even in acceptable condition. I believe they pull any book off their shelf and not the copy condition that was ordered. I will NEVER purchase another book from this company.

Stay Away!

This is the second time I have purchased a book from Second Sale in Montgomery, IL that was not as described. Both times the books were listed as "Very Good" and at best they are "Acceptable". My bad for the second time, but I won't be making the same mistake again.

Received a soft cover book that fell apart from the spine - Handmade Christmas: The Best of Martha Stewart Living - Paperback. And this book was labeled as Very Good. Very misleading and I now have a useless book in 3 sections detached from the spine. Very disappointed and will not be ordering any more books from this place.
