by scutler , Apr 17 '05
ULTRA FAST! GREAT PRICE! PERSONAL SERVICE! EXCELLENT QUALITY! What's not to like? I chose Abe's because they had one of the lowest prices and still with 5 star rating. Mine was a relatively high dollar order; I wanted to get the best price but did ...

Abe's of Maine is the least customer-friendly organization I've ever had the misfortune of trying to deal with. The prices are great, sure, but making a purchase is agonizing. Actually, making the purchase is quite easy, it's getting your merchandise ...

I have ordered from this shop multiple times with all good experiences. However, you must keep in mind that they are able to offer these prices because they deal in large volumes. This means that they must trade off a certain degree of customer service...

I'm a repeat customer. But this time, I got a copy of the order by mail with a ship date of 1/31/07 coming via UPS Ground. I'm in the next day delivery zone for UPS from Maine so expected the next business day or day after at the most. No delivery. I called on the 5th for a tracking number because no delivery. I was told it would be emailed. No email. I called again on the 7th and was told about relocating shipping and they'd have the tracking numbers after 4:00 PM. I called at 5:00, got the tracking number. I discovered my item had been shipped that day. It was deliverey on Thursday the 8th. I understand the difficulty but wish I have been informed correctly.

Item is out of stock. The process of notifying me of this has been uncoordinated and confusing, with multiple points of contact, and I still don't know when my purchase will be delivered. I have purchased from Abes of Maine before with excellent results, so I will give them another chance, but if this was my first purchase with them I would cancel and buy the TV from another retailer.

Overall Abe's of Maine provided good service up to the point of sale. The only beef I had with them is that I was told by the shipping company that they were instucted by Abe's of Maine to only get the TV as close to my door as possible, and that I would have to get it inside my home myself. When I tried to contact the representative at Abe's about my concern, he never returned my call.

On multiple occasions, their shopping cart function "mysteriously" placed items in my basket that I did not select. It took them 6-7 phone calls over 13 days to finally tell me that my order wasn't shipped because it was discontinued. I spent at least 10 minutes on hold each time I called their support number. On 3 out of the 6-7 calls I was disconnected by the customer service rep.

I was called and treated like a criminal because I did not have a home phone. My cell phone is registered with my credit card company. They said they couldn't process the order without a home phone although they still charged my credit card. When I emailed them the first time they did not respond. I emailed them again and then had to call them and was routed to 5 different people. I still have not received a credit to my credit card. The order was placed on 6/26 and it is now 7/04. I will never attempt to order anything from them again and will tell everyon of how I was treated. I have contacted my credit card copany and denied the charges

Trouble free and routine. Abe's telephoned to confirm order and left message to call back. I e-mailed back confirmation and order proceeded without delay.

The experience was pretty quick and their prices are competitive. There was one annoyance - they had "limited supplies" and would not allow me to order two over the phone. They said I had to go online and order one twice. In fact, I was able to order both in a single online order and should have been allowed to do so by phone as well. If you want to sell something, sell it!

I happened to be on assignment in Asutralia for my company and needed to leave the country for 48 hours. Thinking that Singapore had the best prices for electronics, I booked the trip. I spent four days in Singapore looking for the Canon Optura Xi and when I finally found it, it was more expensive (by far) than the price on Abe's website. I frequently check the prices of electronics and Abe's of Maine is consistantly among the cheapest. I did not know their service was also excellent until I used them recently. This is a fine establishment with excellent prices. Use them without worry.

I expected the shipment of my order from Abe's to be faster. It seems that the order placed me into a queue for a direct sales call to buy more products. This both delayed the process of getting my product while also annoying me with sales pitches that sent me to shop online in the first place. Also the brand of memory I purchased was different then advertised (SanDisk advertised, something else shipped). Positives: Cheap and arrived in good condition.
