I ordered a specific book in a series. They sent me the wrong book. They refused to return it. I contacted paypal to get my refund. Paypal is great. Never use your credit card with these people. The biggest scammers they are. They will manipulate their website to show that you ordered item y when you in fact ordered item x. Avoid at all cost.

I ordered a large hardcover book from Ergodebooks through abebooks. The book cost $121. I contacted them three times and asked them to mail it in a box. I was willing to pay extra just to have it mailed in a box. They, however, sent to me in a think bubble envelope. The book arrived very damaged. But Ergodebooks could not care less -- and abebooks does not allow customers to review these scam artists. Later on, I found out that Ergodebooks is not a legitimate bookseller, but a bookjacker, i.e., they do not own any of their own stock, but simply hijack other legitimate booksellers' listings from other websites and then post the listings with inflated prices. Even the Better Business Bureau has an entry devoted to them (this Texas company has a dozen names: Fast Media, AmiVentures, Extremely Reliable...) as notorious scam artists.

On 4th September, 2017, I ordered a book online from Ergode Books (only 1 copy was available from Ergode Books) though Abe Books. The book was listed as "used: very good" and priced at £28.90 with the estimated delivery given as on or before 09 October, 2017. A couple of weeks after I placed my order, I made a polite inquiry regarding the shipment to the vendor through Abebooks and was informed that according to them (Ergode Books) the item was lost in the mail and apologized for the "postal mess". Ergode Books then provided me with 2 options; to wait 3 to 5 weeks while they procure another book or to issue a refund. I kindly refused both and requested that shipping information be provided to me in the form of either a shipping invoice or a tracking number. Ergode Books did not comply. In the meantime, I raised the issue with Abe Books while keeping Ergode Books informed in parallel. I made it clear that I did not wish to be issued a refund and made it clear that I had no problem waiting for Ergode Books to provide me with proof of shipping or a replacement book. Ergode Books then arbitrarily imposed a refund upon me because they decided that it would take too long to find a replacement book as there was nothing in their "warehouse" or non-availability from any of their "suppliers" while Abe Books supported the decision and processed the refund on Ergode Books behalf. During this entire process, Ergode Books continued to list the book on Abe Books though in a degraded condition from "used: very good" to "used: good" with an increase of price from £28.90 to £117.05!!! When insisting that I would accept the present listed book in a degraded condition while the refund was enforced upon me, I became fully aware of the scam the Ergode Books is running. Further investigation convinced me to file an official complaint through the Texas BBB as Ergode Books is listed in that state but ultimately it was transferred to the BBB in Victoria, B.C. Canada. Sadly, because the refund had been issued, there was no other recourse though it was obvious that this was also favourable to Abe Books. In noting the long list of subsidiaires under Fast Media and AmiVentures, including Ergode Books all of which are located at; 25547 Canyon Crossing Dr. Richmond, TX 77406 while pairing my experience with many other complainants towards what is obviously drop-shopping, book-jacking, etc it is a social responsibility to inform others by exposing Ergode Books and it's subsidiaires for what they are; A RIP-OFF and a SCAM!!!! None of these are legitimate, including Ergode Books; nor are they in any way acting in the better interest of their customers. They cannot even be placed within a reasonable level of trust regarding making the simple provision towards providing ordered items to clients in a timely and professional manner. They cannot even be considered a provider in any reasonable definition because they do not have an inventory!!!! In making any queries related to Ergode Books and others connected to Ami Ventures, the internet is a treasure trove in presenting negative reviews and complaints towards them and I highly suggest that you heed the warnings.

Ergode is a scam - Don't buy from them or Sears Marketplace. I ordered an item, it was charged to my credit card, but I never received the item. It should have been shipped to me, instead the fony ups tracking info showed it was delivered to a city in Maryland. No street address just a city! Called Ergode 4 times, emailed 2 times, still no response. Sears Marketplace should be ashamed to have this vendor on it's site. I am not ever going to buy from Ergode or Sears Marketplace.

60 COMPLAINTS ISSUED AGAINST THIS COMPANY ON THE BBB! AVOID! I never received my book, and when contacting the company, they refused to provide tracking information after explicitly requesting it. The vague response received from "Joy K" was that my item was "lost in transit.... sorry for the postal mess". The same response was given verbatim to other customers posting negative reviews. If you request Ergodebooks to expound and specify, they will prevaricate. I filed a complaint with Abebooks, and although they agreed to issue a refund, they provided a firm defense against the notion that this company is a scam. If you purchase books from Ergodebooks, you will essentially be fighting on your own. All the 1-star online reviews are true – just research it for yourself. The couple of positive reviews are left by fraudulent profiles. THEY ARE BOOKJACKERS, meaning that their selling posts are not legitimate. Ergodebooks is a subset of FastMedia, a scamming company, as listed on the BBB. The owner is Rupesh Sanghavi and goes under various pseudonyms like "Joy K". Almost, if not all, customers will not receive their purchases, or will be involved in a ploy to receive their order incomplete or defective months later.

I ordered a rare book which they claimed was in stock, also paying shipping cost from US to U.K. After paying I got no emails, no receipt and no tracking information. Within 2 days the money was gone from my credit card. After 14 days I had still not had any communication with the company nor received my book. I contacted the seller who claimed that they had been unable to verify my identity and the order was not processed. They asked me to send a credit card statement or drivers licence in order for them to verify me (whatever that means?!). After googling them I saw many negative reviews suggesting it is a scam. I asked for immediate refund but didn't get one. Reported to my bank who can hopefully help out. This is NOT a legitimate business and will trick you out of your money. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM

Do not use these people all the are is brokers to sell you what you already can buy from AMAZON your purchase will be shipped from AMAZON after Ergode marks up the price! They talk and act like they actually have a warehouse they don't have anything awls I do is drop ship wake up people don't get screwed over like I did
