Never ordered anything from Atomic Avenue before but all these first hand accounts of backed out deals due to seller greed and/or incompetence are guaranteeing I won't even bother in the future.

 

 

That's kinda what I was thinking.

I've deleted them from my "favorites".

I don't even go there anymore.

My one Atomic Avenue experience was very meh. Seller had free shipping over a certain dollar amount & I added a dollar book to get me over the hump. He claimed being out of stock on 2 of the books, bringing me back under the free-shipping amount & charged me shipping as a result without giving me the option of backing out or finding something else to make up for the lost $$. I ended up paying more afterwards with shipping and 2 less books than I would have had I got all the books I ordered.

 

Weak sauce.

I've bought a few things over the years and never had issues even back months ago when the first speculation on Lucifer was posted I picked up a minty Sandman 4 for cheap and had no problems. Think he was from Canada anyways all good quality stuff from some of the sellers in my experience but sorry you guys have had some bad ones there.

WTF? My reply is only 1/2 posting & it's very much sounding like I'm about to tell you off for no reason. Please excuse this while I try to fix it.

Well... so for some reason, the message system is only posting 1/2 my reply & it essentially starts at a part where I tell off a seller & it makes me sound like I'm telling off another boardie here. Not my intention. The message system is screwing around.

 

Long story short... didn't realize it until a few weeks later when balancing my checkbook & it wasn't a significant enough difference that the argument over $4 was worth it. Instead, I just won't buy from AA again unless I REALLY need something

Has anybody ever emailed the woman from Atomic? I emailed her and told her what was happening and that AA in general was getting a bad reputation, but she never responded.

I've never tried. I've had great experiences, for the most part, with AA. It would probably be pretty hard for AA to police every seller that backs out of sales, but the feedback system could be updated to better capture a buyer's experience with a seller.
