That will help you decide if it’s worth supporting them. As I said, lots of people had good experiences, but a fair amount didn’t. I think it’s only fair to point this out so you can judge for yourself.

Hope this helps.

I tried ordering something from them a couple of years ago because they offered a price much lower than anyone else. I placed my order online and my credit card was charged immediately; the claimed they ship in 24 to 48 hours. I then received a call from them a few days later in which they tried to sell me overpriced, unnecessary accessories. I declined (several times, they are persistent).

About a week later, I still hadn’t received my order or even any sort of shipment confirmation. I called them about this, but was continually put on hold and didn’t have the time. I emailed them asking for shipping information or any information on the status of my order. Their response was that what I order was no longer in stock and they asked my if I would like to buy a more expensive product instead. This is about 10 days after a originally placed my order and my card had been charged. I responded that I didn’t want to buy a more expensive product, if they can’t ship the originally product then cancel my order and refund my credit card. After about two weeks I got my refund. So I never received my item and they had my money for over 3 weeks.

I’m sure others have different experiences with Abe’s of Maine, but I have since learned that my experience is not uncommon (do a search). I would be especially be wary of a rebate situation. Even reputable companies look for reasons to deny a rebate.

Watch OUT… I sending the card back but lost the shipping and cc int too
