It's been said a thousand times on yelp, epinions, resellerratings, and many other websites. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. The prices may seem great, and the fake 5 star reviews that are posted on Epinions look enticing, but you will wait, and wait, and wait and be lied to over and over again. It's just not worth it.

Day 1) Saw great price on a 60" Samsung LED TV that was in stock ($2400). Placed Order.

---
Day 2) After reading bad reviews about Abes of Maine scamming customers I immediately call to insure the product is in fact in stock and ready to ship. I spoke with Sam who explained that the product IS in stock and would ship within 24-48 hours. After declining extended warranties, upgraded mounts, HDMI cables, and "white glove shipping" he finally confirms that the order "has been placed" and it will ship out with 24-48 hours.

---
Day 4) Order status changes to "Sent To Warehouse"

---
Day 5) Send email to find out actual status of my order. No
response.

---
Day 6) Send email again to service@abesofmaine.com to find out the actual status of my order. No response. Send email to "Vice President David Mosseri" as he responds to bad reviews and am told that they "had a malfunction with their server" which is delaying peoples orders from shipping.

---
Day 7) Call and speak with someone who says that they cant find out why it has not shipped. They state they "will have to call their distributor" to find out when the TV will ship to them. THE TV WAS NEVER IN STOCK!

---
Day 8) I call to find out the status and am told by "Jacob" that they "expect a truck on Monday" and it SHOULD have the product I ordered and I SHOULD expect to receive it within 5-8 days after that. 20 days after placing my order?!? No thank you.

I decided enough is enough. I told him to cancel my order and called my credit card company to make sure that if the refund is not processed within 24 hours it will be reversed as what Abes of Maine has done is considered FRAUD.

Recap of the lies

1) I was told the item was in stock at THEIR facility (I was then told it SHOULD ship from the distributor to Abes of Maine a full 12 days after placing my order).

2) I was told the item would ship out within 24-48 hours by Sam when I called to make sure it was in fact in stock and ready to ship. (Didn't happen)

3) Abes of Maine website states that the item would ship out within 1-3 days (Never happened)

4) I was told that I would receive a status update on the 8th morning (Never happened)

5) Abes of Maine website lists that your card will not be charged until the item ships (Item never shipped, yet card was charged day after I placed order).
 
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!

Abes of Maine, cannot be trusted

AUTHOR: - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, September 22, 2017

I ordered camera from Abe's of Maine. Received email order confirmation. I also received email to call 1-800-992-2237 ext. 272 to talk to Jeff. I did. Jeff asked me what battery pack I want to buy with camera. I told him that I can use battery from my older Sony camera. I also ask him question about camera I ordered. It was just simple question "Is the camera I ordered International version or version manufactured for US market" (since this is not mentioned on company web page). He obviously did not like my question and start to argue with me. As the result he canceled my order for no reason. Very unpleasant experience.

Beware of Abes of Maine

AUTHOR: ox - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, September 21, 2017

Buyers Beware! This is a big ripoff company called Abes of Maine! They are a Bait & Switch operation!

Abes of Maine, they run a scheme called “Predatory free capitalism” it's a terrible inhumane deplorable practice, they're going to sucker you in with low prices and then they're going to rip you apart and then they going to upsell you on things that should of been involved. Abes of Maine is what’s wrong with society. If you’re wondering what is wrong with society, this is one company that is using deplorable’s business practices to do whatever they want and rip people off! There are so many complaints on this business, it is unbeliveable they are still in business.

Don't buy from Abes of Maine, these guys are a bait & switch operation, they're method of business is scheming people with extra fees, they call to verify your card but also they will add charges and bill you anyway without notification even if you decline to accept the item, they are ruthless and they have a department for chargeback, they apparently have a lot of angry customers that have declined payments where they are horrible over the phone and have the worst record on for online reviews. Yes they will think of any reason to raise the price after you made the purchase. I mean seriously read the online reviews on this company; they have customer after customer of their shrewd service on a host of complaints all over the internet on this scheme operation. Buyers beware, do NOT buy from these people. Worst experience ever is with this company, had to fight my bank to get my money back and to see how they responded to the bank, yes they lied to my bank and they wouldn't return my calls or emails to them, even their supervisor.

Yes I was a victim of this horrible business of their scheme business practice, so I am posting information allover online to inform people this is a scam business. abesofmaine.com/LG_Signature_C7_Series_OLED65C7P_-_65_OLED_Smart_TV_-_4K_UltraHD_1031760.html?l=Criteo&?utm_source=Criteo&utm_campaign=Retargeting&utm_medium=CPC

Stay away from Abes of Maine; seriously don't buy from these people.
