ecrespol from NY Member Since: 07/24/2001 View Member's: Reviews	You must read the fine print. By puchasing anything from these people you are agreeing to paying multiple "membership" fees (not listed in the checkout).	Overall Rating

GeorgeSC from NC Member Since: 04/05/2003 View Member's: Reviews	Any purchase automatically subscribes you into membership of the discount club, and charges you $30/month. There was NO WARNING of this until after the purchase was made. Lesson learned for me: Always read the "terms of agreement" carefully.	Overall Rating

fc3op from TX Member Since: 12/13/2008 View Member's: Reviews	AFTER receiving the order confirm, you are notified that you are enrolled in multiple memberships with payment being auto drafted from your credit card. You have 7 days to cancel by phone only. GOOD LUCK, the phone number has been disconnected. After receiving notice that books were shipped, tracking numbers (given two different numbers) are no good with UPS or USPS. They report no items located.	Overall Rating

dc_gooner from VA Member Since: 01/14/2009 View Member's: Reviews	I ordered a book only for them to tell me about a week later that it wasn't in stock. I canceled my order. No issue with the cancellation - so far. Upon ordering the book, and with no obvious knowledge, I was signed up with another company who was going to start charging me $30/month unless I canceled within 7 days. Definitely read the terms of agreement folks. At the same time, never buy from this online book store!	Overall Rating

THEY AUTOMATICALLY SIGN YOU UP FOR A MONTHLY $30 MEMBERSHIP WITHOUT WARNING. 10 MINUTES AFTER MY PURCHASE I WAS SLAPPED WITH 5 CHARGES ON MY BANK STATEMENT, ONLY 1 OF THEM BEING MY INTENDED PURCHASE! THEY ARE STEALING FROM YOU! NEVER NEVER NEVER SCREW YOURSELF OVER BY BEING ROBBED BY THIS COMPANY!	Overall Rating

Ghettopia from MA Member Since: 02/10/2009 View Member's: Reviews	READ THE FINE PRINT. Order a book from them, and they automatically sign you up for SmartSavingsCenter, even if you click "No Thanks" when their ad appears. Having to call up a shady company to prevent them from charging you for a useless service is not worth this store's cheap prices. Avoid at any cost.	Overall Rating

HJLLM from FL Member Since: 03/12/2009 View Member's: Reviews	Smartsavingscenter.com and discountbooksale.com are the same company. A "free trial" membership for one week is offered with no charge if canceled in 7 days. However,after canceling membership your account is still charged! When you complain at customer service, they answer that you have 2(!) memberships and that both need to be canceled.Beware for both sites, this is monkey business! Numerous complaints are available on the internet.	Overall Rating

anonjim from TX Member Since: 08/25/2009 View Member's: Reviews	I purchased $20.00 worth of books and unknowingly signed up for a worthless $19.95 monthly membership fee which was billed after the fact. I would not consider doing business with this company again under any ciricumstances if I do not receive credit for the $19.95	Overall Rating

Mike-O- from unknown Member Since: 03/25/2005 View Member's: Reviews	DiscountBookSale.com is a scam website. If you order a book from them they will automatically - and without your knowledge - sign you up for a "discount" membership that charges your credit card 19.95 per month with their associated website "BestBrandValues.com". When you try to terminate the 'membership' on their website you must enter a password, although they never have provided you with a password. When you try to call the number on their webpage, you get a busy signal. I advise anyone thinking of ordering from them to google search "discountbooksale.com scam" and read the accounts of those who've been scammed by these criminals. After discovering the unauthorized charges on my credit card I cancelled the credit card number and reported them for the fraudulent transactions. Order from a reputable retailer such as amazon.com instead. Now that I see how far back the complaints against these scammers go, I'm surprised that the authorities haven't shut them down.

bg123 from WA Member Since: 10/30/2009 View Member's: Reviews	I paid an extra $5 for 2 days shipping. The order arrived after 19 days, 5 business days after they said they shipped it. They refused to refund my $5. I had no idea it would take 13 days to even ship the order but to take my $5 for 2 day shipping when the shipping took 5 business days was really wrong...you can find lots of other complaints about this operation on the internet. They seem to have a few different names associated with them. I did receive the books and they did respond to my complaint so I'm not going to give a completely unsatisfactory rating but I would advise finding some other business from which to order merchandise.

JoelParke from MA Member Since: 11/20/2009 View Member's: Reviews	This is a fraudulent merchant who automatically enrolls you in a monthly fee program of $19.95 with no record of this enrollment. Then when you discover this 6 months later they will only credit (claimed to credit - still waiting) you for 2 months maximum. So a $11.83 purchase turns into 111.83$ DON'T USE THIS DISHONEST VENDOR!

juleswithlove from NC Member Since: 12/16/2009 View Member's: Reviews	I found a book with Discount Book Sale that I needed for a study I was doing that started a couple weeks away. When I looked up the book the website said it was in stock and available. AFTER I gave them my money I started to get e-mails stating that the book was out of stock. There was no timeframe given to let me know WHEN I should expect the book or contact information so I could call to follow up. I eventually received a box months later and then it was the wrong book. It was like a cliff notes version of the actual book. It was tiny and missing tons of pages! I called to complain and could not get a refund. Now 6 months later I found that they have been charging me $19.95 a month for a "savings program." I NEVER sign up for trial programs and feel totally ripped off! Obviously there was something decieving to have me be signed up for a program that I didn't know existed! This book was supose to cost $4.77 and has cost me $150!	Overall Rating

pxlawrence68 from MI Member Since: 05/01/2010 View Member's: Reviews	This distributor charges you a membership fee and recurring monthly charges. They will offer a credit only for the prior two months if you notice these excessive charges and call them. This is a complete scam. You are automatically enrolled and charged separately from your order. Very easy to overlook. Your receipt for purchase will not include any charge or make mention of membership enrollment or fee. You only notice charges once it starts showing up on your statement. Stay away from this distributor.	Overall Rating

tgale47 from unknown Member Since: 05/28/2007 View Member's: Reviews	Add my comment to the others here that these guys should have a class action suit against them, not to mention some jail time. I bought a book from them and, with my work load and Holiday activities didn't resolve my card purchases for a few months at which time I found they were charging me $19.95 per month for a "membership" which I did not join. I called their866-707-5858 number and was told I had to have agreed to the membership to have bought anything from them. The email I kept from October 2010 regarding the actual order did not mention any membership.	Overall Rating
