Hi John, For first time customers we use a 3rd party verification system in order to prevent fraud and help protect our customers. After several attempts were made to contact the payment method holder and were not answered, the order was cancelled. The payment was refunded on 6/9. We do not "take your money and not deliver." If you would like to replace the order and contact our verification team at 847-919-3799 we would be happy to process the order after verification is completed. Thank you

Good price, but bad shipping company
Bought a washer. They used Ryder to ship it. Ryder is impossible to deal with. Delays, no updates on delivery, no tracking info. The estimated delivery date when I ordered has come and gone, and it'll likely be another week before the item is delivered. Good prices and selection, but ABT is using a poor shipping company.

Sold a used, dirty unit as new — poor handling afterward
Sold a used, dirty unit as new — poor handling afterward
I purchased what was supposed to be a brand new unit from Abt Electronics and instead received a clearly used product.
The condition was unacceptable:
Residue (“sauce”) on parts
Rust visible on components
Repacked box with missing protective plastics
This was obviously not a new item.
What made it worse was how it was handled. I was promised a response within 24 hours — nothing happened for over three days. When I followed up, I was asked to resend photos that had already been sent, and then told there was “no complaint to be made.”
Instead of resolving the issue properly, they tried to offer a $175 discount to keep a contaminated, used unit. That’s not a solution — that’s trying to make a problem go away cheaply.
Only after pushing back multiple times did they agree to process a return.
Overall, this shows serious issues with:
Quality control (used items being shipped as new)
Internal communication
Customer service professionalism
I would not trust them to deliver a properly inspected product.

Hi Tor, We have been in business for over 90 years and do not "repack" items to be sold as new. We have a 30 day return/exchange policy as well. I personally inspected your unit and do not see any signs of it being a used item. I am sorry you are unhappy with it and we will be happy to issue a full refund to you.

Bad customer service and delivery
Bought a fridge last week, got tracking email but the tracking number doesn’t work. I have been calling ABT and Hub logistic so many times, no one can tell me where my fridge is. This is the first time I purchased from ABT, because of all the good reviews, now I feel so regret, not mentioning the ABT customer service bad attitude, really ruin my day.
Response from Abt ElectronicsFeb 25, 2026
Hi Xue, the unit is due to arrive at your local transportation Hub on Thursday. They will contact you within 24 hours to schedule delivery. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our logistics manager Gary at 847-544-2782. Thank you!

My wife purchased an expensive vacuum…
My wife purchased an expensive vacuum cleaner last November, but was told it was on back order and would be delivered to her when it came in. She paid for the order, but it was never delivered. Abt says they shipped it via UPS and we would have to take it up with UPS. We have no leverage with UPS who simply claims they deliver all the packages they get and sent a picture, not of the package, but a picture of our building with a circle drawn around a locked door that only resident cars can enter.
Based on my experience, I would not pay for anything from Apt unless you can walk out with it!
Order can be verified with her Cell number 312-925-7711
Response from Abt ElectronicsMar 24, 2026
Hi Tom, the delivery investigation has been completed by UPS and they confirmed the package was delivered to the doorman at your building. When a package is accepted by building staff UPS does not cover the shipment. Building management would be responsible at this point for locating the package and confirming who signed for/received it.
We recommend contacting your doorman/front desk and property management to request their package log/sign-in record for that delivery date and to check any security camera footage covering the receiving area.
If you’d like, we can also provide the tracking information and delivery confirmation details again to help your building identify it.

I bought a Kitchenaid range from Abt
I bought a Kitchenaid range from Abt. It’s a lemon. I had their techs out about 8 times. They never did anything. Never fixed it. Just waited until the 1 year was up and they were off the hook. Abt Electronics is garbage. Now I’m trying to deal with Whirlpool Corp and they are no better. Even the repair guys say “unless it’s something easy they don’t care”. Last guy I had out didn’t even turn the oven on before he told me there is nothing wrong with it. I wouldn’t buy dog food from Abt. I certainly won’t spend almost $2000 for a range again
Response from Abt ElectronicsJan 26, 2026
Hi Sean, I pulled up your service record and we have been out to service your range 3 times. All 3 times the range tested fine and no issues were found. We suggest you call the manufacturer for service if you feel there is something wrong with the unit. If you have any other questions, feel free to call me at 847-544-2836. Thank you Dan Obradovic, General Manager

The customer service for ABT is…
The customer service for ABT is horrible. Even looking about some of these one star review replies, they do not take constructive criticism very well. I see a lot of passive aggression. I.e “ Cat did not reach out to us until almost 90 days after delivery and told 2 different stories about what was wrong with the TV” and another one asking a customer to give their contact information through a public forum. They need to work on their professionalism
Response from Abt ElectronicsNov 3, 2025
Hi Gian, ABT has been family-owned and operated for over 89 years, and our success is built on caring for our customers and standing behind our products and service. When we respond to reviews, we do our best to provide accurate information and context so other customers can see the full picture. Our goal is to be transparent and fair to everyone involved. We always include a direct phone number or email so customers do not need to post their information on a public forum. If there is anything I can do to help resolve an issue you are having, feel free to contact me at 847-544-2836. Thank you Dan O, General Manager

The agent Dylan
The agent Dylan was incredibly rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. I was denied a refund or any form of compensation despite receiving damaged headphones that clearly arrived defective, and instead of helping, they tried to blame me, the customer, for their faulty product. I will be filing a chargeback and reporting this incident. After I reached out, they continued replying in a passive-aggressive and condescending manner, trying to gaslight me and twist the situation to make it seem like I was at fault. What’s worse, they lied about the entire interaction and refused to take accountability when I was completely willing to return the product. The headphones stopped working only a couple of months after purchase with normal use, yet they accused me of damaging them myself. Their customer service is shocking—hostile, dishonest, and unprofessional from start to finish. I was treated unfairly and believe racial bias played a role, as they even responded by saying it was “sad I fabricated racism,” which is both insulting and completely inappropriate. I have filed a report with the BBB and BCC for their conduct. This company clearly does not care about its customers or basic respect. Do not shop here—they lie, deflect blame, and disrespect customers instead of resolving issues. Support Black-owned businesses and others that actually value accountability, integrity, and human decency.
Edit: Oh keep replying to me, I just know you’re mad LOL! 🤡🥺 Support black owned businesses. FREE PALESTINE. FREE PALESTINE. “Shameful” aww love the deflection and gaslighting…

Hi Ethan, We sent brand new headphones sealed in the box when you purchased them in August. You then chatted us in October (months later) that they suddenly stopped working and demanded a full refund because you are out of the country. When we asked for pictures of the product, you emailed us pictures of physically damaged and cracked headphones. We are unable to take these back due to the physical damage that occurred. Ethan, it is also sad you need to fabricate racism. We have a copy of your Live Chat with our agent and will be happy to provide it to the BBB, BCC, or whoever you would like to make your shameful false claim to.
