Vashon Island Books
Negative Feedback, Flaming, Fraud Seattle / Los Angeles / California

In October and I can't view the order due to technical issues on Amazon.com's end, I placed an order for a book with VashonIslandBooks.

They misshipped to the business name on the Amazon account, even though the packing slip address was a personal name and correct.

When the package was returned, VashonIslandBooks scourned me and even taunted me with scanned pictures showing "how MY address not their SHIPPING was wrong." I gave them a choice: Reship correctly, or AtoZ Guarantee - either way you lose on shipping.

They demanded a credit card or check. I filed a claim, 2 days later it was approved: "Merchant shipped wrong, never received merchandise, refuses to reship at their cost."

They promptly left me UNSOLICITED negative feedback (I didn't feedback them until they missled me):
1 out of 5: "Bad Customer: Buyer has been reported to amazon abuse and fraud department. USPS will be notified for possible fraud. Do not Waste your time and effort!!!"

When Amazon refused to assist, ignoring their complicance of both torts and a class II felony (wrongful prosecution of mail fraud) crime, I posted the response:
"VashonBooks guilty of libel & fraud. Poor feedback score is representative of an Amazon-Approved AtoZ Guarantee claim where the shipper misshipped my book & broke his terms of service by demanding further non-Amazon payment to reship. Amazon has replied to me that they replied to & dismissed his complaint with Abuse/Fraud & Postmaster responded she received no complaint. DON'T USE VASHON BOOKS"

Further, Amazon has taken no action and neither would the post office. Why would they? Amazon approved the refund themselves, and there is no mail fraud - what financial gain?

I would not recommend VashonIslandBooks on Amazon or Half for this reason of their irrational & malicious behavior.

I would call on VashonBooks to live by their own beliefs of 'honest and integrity.' I would also call for their removal from business, if they don't.

Further, the 20 transactions I did do 'good deals' with in 2 years didn't even rate me.: (Amazon's reply: "I'm sure all the other great feedback we see will bury this feedback." What - and -ever.
