"I purchased Wild Embers & especially loved that set on fairytales, because like almost everything else in this patriarchal world, fairytales need a major rewrite...Must Read Book. And Service of book was also on time."

"I had orderd The Witcher 3 from here...it was not delivered on the day delivery was suppose to happen...I called support..they told me the issue..and was delivered in 2 days."

"They did not give a way to track my book shipment so I emailed to ask when it would it would arrive. Their response was that it should already arrived and it must’ve gotten lost in the mail, first book that’s ever happened to for me."

"Ordered a textbook from them through Textbookrush.com. I waited two weeks and never received so I called Ergodebooks to see what the shipping number was. I was told that it took a few days to update the shipping info and to wait. I waited another 2 weeks and no book and no shipping information. I called Textbookrush and they said they would handle it but they apparently didn't. So I called Ergodebooks again and could hardly understand the person on the phone. Obviously the person was in India. They offered to replace or refund. I chose the refund but doubt it will ever happen. Thank goodness it was only $25. Do not buy from them on any site. My past experiences with Textbookrush have been great but this reseller Ergodebooks is terrible."

"

This is not a reputable bookseller, but a careless & deceitful company.

I ordered a large hardcover book from them, which 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 customer to review these scam artists.

Stay away from Ergodebooks. They are not serious at all.

"I ordered a book, was told that it shipped. Two weeks later, no book. I contacted the company, and like everyone else, received a response placing the blame on the shipping service, offering either a refund or to re-ship the book. Waiting to see if it actually ships the second time."

"Ergodebooks sold me a book and expedited service, but they never had the book, never shipped the book, and refused to give me a tracking number. Ergodebooks also changed their stated policy on delivery times during my correspondence with them. Do NOT buy from this seller. It is guaranteed you will be seriously disappointed."

"Hope you are reading this prior to purchase instead of after. Adding my voice to what others have stated; they are selling books they don't even own. Only AFTER you contact them will they tell you it was suspiciously lost in transit. Funny how they never provide shipping information to begin with; that should have been my first red flag. On further review, this company seems to be running a complete scam and somehow is still in business. Totally unethical. I was so happy I had found a friend a rather hard-to-find book for Christmas, but ... too good to be true apparently. "

"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.

"I wish I had checked this website before ordering from them. I ordered a book, they sent in a different book. When I received the wrong book I immediately contacted them and they play dumb. The scam goes like this: you click on an item that they claim to have on stock but when you check out they somehow have a different book that is similar to the one you're ordering. I did not check with paypal that they had switched the book on me. I am currently asking paypal to refund me for this outright theft."

"As many people have already said, this company will claim an item is "lost in transit" and they do not have a tracking number. From research I have learned that they sell books they do not own - they list books at high prices, then when someone orders one, they source it from a real bookseller. Terrible business model, terrible customer service, dishonest."

"Ordered a book through Valorebooks through this company. NEVER AGAIN!"

"If you're reading this review its probably too late. Here's my experience: I have contacted the seller and they claim the book has been lost but they will not provide any additional information such as the shipper or the tracking number to verify this claim. I even called the seller and personally asked for a refund and he said that the refund would process in a few hours. I check my phone a couple of minutes later and I received a text message that he is 'working on the checks' and is 'visiting family' so he won't be able to refund me until Oct 18th. The seller is a complete scam I have reported them to the abuse dept of biblio. Reverse the charges as soon as you can. His real name is RUPESHKUMAR SANGHAVI as shown by looking as the domain registration on who.is for ergodebooks.com. He is a scammer and I am reporting him on all fronts and I suggest you do the same."

"This bookseller is a scam. Upon contacting them for a tracking number a week after my order processed, they did not provide one, only told me the shipping method I chose. Upon contacting them again another week later, they told me that my order appears to have been "lost in postal transit." It's 2017; to claim a good number of your customer's orders got lost in postal transit is absurd.

When contacting them for a refund, they claim their websites are down and can only issue a refund through Paypal. I have yet to receive my refund."

"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."
