When you agree to sign up for the free trial, they immediately try to charge (NOT JUST PLACE A HOLD) for $14.99 on your debit/credit card, even though that legally means they cannot charge until the free trial period ends. It seems users have been complaining about this for years. How both blatantly unethical and illegal. If I had more time, I'd sue them. As it stands though, this is why I have my cards set to manually add new merchants over a certain $ transaction amount...

I travel a lot and listen to Audiobooks in my car. I love the convenience and would hate to take a trip without an Audiobook. I've read the entire Outlander series, which I never would have discovered without this program. There are some technical glitches, such as my book stopping unexpectedly and requiring me to delete and re-download in order to continue listening. However, this problem has not occurred for awhile and may have been worked out by now. Overall, I am happy with Audiobooks.

My husband and I listen to audiobooks when we travel. We take several road trips a year and listen to our favorite authors as we travel. We like being able to preview the books and listen to the readers before we purchase. It is so easy to find a book or author when looking on audiobooks. We share ear buds and listen to books while flying. we happen to both like the same books. It is fun to talk about them and ask each other questions about parts we might not understand or opinions on the content. We love audiobooks. Audio fan.

Audiobooks is without question the best available bookstore online. You can download to your iPod and listen to books while you carry out your daily routine. The selection is extensive and the staff is always very responsive, very courteous, and very professional. I simply cannot give a higher recommendation to any bookstore, online within the cities.

I thought it would be nice to have a couple of audio books to listen to! But since I signed up....I have been debited again and again! I can't cancel my account and have sent several messages but no answer. My first book was supposed to be $5 but was charged $13! That was just the beginning. Bad Bad Bad scam company. As I said, every time I try and cancel on the site it tells me I can't!? What the ****

Like others: the free trial results in an instant charge to your card. I, however, went through Paypal and will contest the fee once it's logged in Paypal activity. I was looking to buy the next installment of The Walking Dead (Search and Destroy), and as it wasn't available on Audible, found a listing on audiobooks.com via Google. Options on the store page were to listen to it in full or download it during the 'free' 30-day trial. I opted to register, and understanding many online business free trials do require payment information but won't charge until the trial is over, went ahead and completed the form. Then went back to TWD listing I had open, signed in, which then returns me to the homepage. I do a search for TWD; Search and Destroy. No results. I do a search for TWD, results! I scroll through the available books looking for 'TWD; Search and Destroy' and find it isn't listed. The heck? Okay, maybe the website isn't updated but the app may be. I search for the book using he app: it's still not listed. Great. Outdated Google reference. Why isn't this book flagged as being unavailable or options not being greyed out? The only reason I opted to register was for this one book. I'll be contesting the payment with Paypal. 3-stars; great for people to use, but methods and information are lacking.

I've been using it audiobooks for about a year now. I miss the unlimited books (2/month is just not enough) but it's still probably the best price per book at the moment. However if I find a site that's cheaper I would probably switch to them (maybe if Audiobooks had a chance to get more free credits).

Absolutely LOVE this app. Whether while I'm at work or in the car I can't imagine not listening to my Audiobooks daily. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy listening to books but honestly I wonder what took me so long to discover Audiobooks.

This is a good option to Audible. I like the phone interface better than Audible. It's easier to use, however, I don't like that my book sometimes keeps playing if I answer my phone or that books can't be on a cloud where I can use them on both iPad and iPhone the way Audible does. Audiobooks has good holiday specials and they sometimes have promotional free books.

My app on my phone never worked and no matter how many times I called in, they told me the same steps. I got charged for the membership that was suppose to be canceled after the free- trial due to the app was not working and was told it was my fault. However when I called customer service again and spoke to a gal she was the rudest person! She was snarky and flat out rude, it's not my fault that the app was not working and instead of working with me she blamed me. Really! I will go back to reading books the old fashion way at least when I purchase a book I don't have a rude customer services rep telling me it's my fault and then say " I canceled your memebership like 5 minutes ago if you would just look" nobody needs that and I will warn everyone on social media about your company.

I cancelled my subscription the day after starting due to not having the author that had been linked to them in a search. I have been charged for two months now, customer service is not doing anything correct this.

I was given audiobooks.com as a gift. I wouldn't recommend audiobooks for the following reasons. First, a computer option is not available. Second, there are a limited number of books (many of my first choices were not available). Third, the app works poorly with my books returning to the beginning chapter every time I pause or stop them mid-chapter.

I signed up with audio books to listen while working, it said it was $16.99 per month. Never said you'll be charged for each additional book, so I grabbed a bunch of books and they ended up taking $160 out of my bank account! I only read 3 books so I asked for a refund of $137, and now they are ignoring me. And before the ignored me they said all they would refund is 3 books, they billed me for way more then 3 books. They don't care! They just want people's money! Don't use this audiobooks!

Audiobooks.com uses misleading and deceptive conduct, which in Australia, at least, is illegal. It offers you a free 30 days trial, then immediately charges your credit card. Despite saying you will not be charged for 30 days. This is all in writing, so I'll be telling my credit card company to reverse the charge.

#delivery(3/5) #price(3/5) #quality(3/5) #customer service(3/5) #on-time(3/5)

Like so many others, they charged my card immediately upon my signing up, even though they say you have 30 days to decide whether you want to keep it. And IF you keep it at that point, they will charge you. NOT TRUE. They lie, lie, lie. And their customer service is horrific. They are like robots with their little scripts in their heads, and they'll just keep repeating the same thing over and over again. This company is disgusting and shameless. We should all report them to every agency that has anything to do with them. There are so many complaints about them online already that they are probably about to be hit with a class action lawsuit. And if not, they certainly should be! They have cost me money in overdraft fees because they charged me when I needed that money for another payment. They have also caused me problems with that company, because my contract says I cannot miss a payment, so they will now cancel my contract because of these lowlifes who couldn't care less! Customer service didn't even apologize for this mess. They're brainwashed and don't know how to use their brains, just their little scripts!

Not all books are audibles, and the trial offer was not really clear. I also got a notification from PayPal saying that "$14,95 USD" were charged by Audibles. ...why are you charging money during a free trial period?? Avoid.

We have discovered that this business has SSL (secure sockets layer), which means that this business handles your data, such as personal information or credit card details, with secure connection. We found that the domain for this business is older than two years which could be an indication that this is a trustworthy business with an established customer base and experience in their field.
