"Abe's of Maine was only price competitive with several other websites because they were offering a "restaurant gift card" they valued at $100. The card turned out to be virtually worthless, and in fact, I now will not even bother to redeem it or try to sell it on eBay (their $100 cards will usually bring between $3 and $6 on eBay, and you have to pay the eBay listing fees and Paypal payment processing fees out of that, and then risk receiving negative feedback once the buyer realizes you sold them a virtually worthless item).
I also feel scammed on their "white glove" delivery service. I ordered by phone and was told the TV would be individually strapped to it's own pallet, thus being handled more gently, etc. It was delivered loose inside a large delivery truck, only protected by the manufacturer's packaging, same as standard delivery. Also "white glove" to Abe's includes no set up (they will only bring it just inside the front door, and won't even attach the stand to the TV). I've had numerous standard "curbside" deliveries in the past, they have always been willing to bring items to my choice of the front door or garage door, so I basically flushed $80 down the toilet for "white glove" service.
Delivery was also a bit slow. I was told it would arrive in 7-10 days, but it was about 2 weeks. Also while filing a BBB complaint, I saw a notice on the BBB website that Abe's of Maine has filed for reorganization protection in Bankruptcy court."

"I'd never purchased a television online before and was bit nervous about what to expect. I heard about Abes of Maine from a friend of mine and decided to check it out. I was blown away by their vast selection and user-friendly website. I had no issues navigating the site to find exactly what I needed. I purchased a Samsung UN55ES8000 from Abes of Maine on 12/04/12. I received my order on 12/10/12. The website said 7-10 business days, and I got it in about 3!!!! Excellent job done!!! I will recommend Abes of Maine to all my friends and family. My expectations were exceeded!!! I will never again go wait in busy lines at electronics stores. Abes of Maine got the job done, right!"
