So far so good. I am slightly concerned that the description of my order no longer includes the specific UPC code: *******79959. I specifically want this version and hope that this is what the seller HPB Movies will provide (as was listed).
If I put a one star rating (I won't bore you with the reasons) and your response is: 'Oh you can't possibly mean that - would you like to think again?' then you are just inviting an even more negative response. Try not to be so irritating.

Because it provided 1. What I was looking for 2. At a good price 3. Top of search engine.
After hunting for the books I wanted on Amazon, I realised Amazon did not sell the books I wanted. A quick internet search of my desired books led me to Alibris books. Screw Amazon, I don't like being censored anyway.
I could only find the books I wanted on this website
Trying to update account to a new email address was tiresome. The site "clung on" to my old, obsolete, not working email address relentlessly in about six different fields in the "my account" page. I lost the will to live and gave up.
You had the book I wanted.
Check out a nightmare...tiny images, grainy pictures on verification step.
Almost gave up. Totally unnecessary...I have had an Alibris account for a long time, but might not return.
Shipping costs very reasonable.
The book I was looking for at a good price. Had some issues with checkout, but eventually succeeded.
Very good shipping prices USA to UK.
Simple, quick, no hassle. Well presented and complete order details.
The book I wanted was only available on Alibris...plus the postage costs to Uk are
Unbeatable, if slow.
I found the whole process easy - Simple and straightforward...often a rare experience online these days, where so many experiences have become needlessly complicated and frustrating...
It had the best option for the book I wanted...
Very easy to order as usual but this time a coupon was accepted at order page to discount the book but not at payment page where full price was shown!
Best value for this book
I found the book I wanted and it looks like a really good copy but best of all is the flat-rate postage: US to UK. I always turn to Alibris for American published titles.
Flat rate postage by Alibris, US to UK, wins every time for me.
The cheapest price I could find on the net, this includes postage as well.
I live in the UK and it's the flat standard postage from the US that draws me to Alibris every time.
I found the book at a good price.
I live in the UK and I always shop Alibris for American books because of the flat shipping rate. I've been with you for years.
I only use Alibris to buy books from the US because the postage is a flat rate. Other sellers in the US charge a fortune for postage to the UK, Frequently more than the cost of the book.
Bargain price but what makes me come back to Alibris all the time is the standard postage charge, whatever the size of the order.
I couldn't find it elsewhere on the net at this price.
This is the third book I've ordered today from Alibris. I always check out the title with other sellers and predictably they all want hefty postal charges to the UK. Three cheers to Alibris for a flat postal rate, no wonder I keep coming back!
Flat rate postal charge to the UK.
It was the only place I could find the product and shipped to the UK.
Always the best prices and thank goodness for the standard shipping rate US to the UK. For this order I checked out other US sellers, shipping was more than the book price.
Standard shipping rate US to UK.
I'm in the UK, just bought a book to come from the US. As usual, having checked out several other sellers in the US, Alibris is the cheapest for the book and postage because of the standard flat rate. Some other US sellers want more for the postage than the actual selling price. No wonder I keep coming back to Alibris!
Speaks for itself: Alibris brilliant flat rate postage US to UK.
Excellent service on the website. I've been a customer of Alibris for years.
I live in the UK so the flat rate postage wins me over every time, especially if I buy a book from an American seller.
Great prices and flat rate postage. Brilliant.
I live in the UK and Alibris is always my first choice if I want to buy American books. No one else offers a flat rate postage charge.
See the above message.
Excellent with Alibris. The best thing is the standard shipping cost from the US to the UK.
I found the book I wanted, a somewhat rare book from 1988 and originally published in Denmark.
Flawless. That was one word that encapsulates the entire experience. However if you want me to woffle and fill the box with palaver, by all means, palaver it shall be or is.
I was redirected from bookfinder.
Bookfinder directed me re the given book title.
Alibris had the book that I wanted at the best price.
Please make it a little easier to interchange billing and shipping addresses
I was directed to alibris from bookfinder.com re a certain book.
I was re-directed from bookfinder.com
It was selected from bookfinder.com
It was because Alibris has the specific option of selecting dvds/movies and I was shopping for something in particular.
I was directed from bookfinder.com
Alibris has separate search categories including films dvd.
Shopping basket very useful feature. Instant secure payment, very convenient.
I was looking for a particular book and alibris.com qualified.
Very good, as it was so easy to complete the online order form that had optional boxes for those who intended to purchase more than one book
Google search
Always always always find what I need, today cardboard furniture for my sculpture multiples project and alternative economics last week to help our community council think about social justice in our community in the central belt of Scotland.
Alibris is an Alladin's Cave with the world inside for those of us in the Scottish Stix!
I always choose Alibris.
Everything, you have everything that I need (bookwise of course!).
My go to book buying site.
Fine. I would like an improved search for children's books, because reading age and interest age can be quite different.
Because I dislike Amazon.
Would like easier access to advanced search. Would like to search kids books by subject. Thanks
Because you support local booksellers.
Easier access to advanced details, Can I help at all with improving information about children's books?
Because I hate Amazon.
I found in alibris exactly what I wanted. The best product with an easy buying process and reasonable price
I would prefer it if you would show how much each seller was charging rather than one shipping price for the entire order.
Good prices, usually good quality. Occasional promo codes come in hand. Lots of sellers to choose from.
Best offers. Promo code.
So far so good - although having found the book on your website last night, I had some trouble locating it again this morning.
Because it had a copy of the book I require for my masters degree, at a reasonable price compared to copies on other websites.
It was easy so far.
Would have been useful to know which volume of the 5 volumes of this work I was purchasing.
It had the book i needed.
Very good, got the book that I wanted. Not the cheapest and postage expensive for size of book, but if condition is good, as described, it's ok.
Dealt with them before.
A good site, well laid out and easy to find what I want, as well as to compare options. Items shown in price order and shipping charges quoted. The
Good previous experiences.
Pastexperience
My friend told me of a book her father had written about growing up on Teesside many years ago, and I found it very quickly and ordered it with a couple of clicks. It was almost certainly a small volume publication.
A good site which makes it easy to find books, and to keep them on a list if they are not available. Have slight difficulties with the address setup which could be simpler.
My past experience has been positive, and the other site I use could not find the book I wanted.
This site finds the books I want time after time, quickly and at a competitive price. The site is easy to use, clear and the delivery service is reasonably fast.
I have had good experiences with it previously.
Well laid out site with quick access via the search panel, and clear information. Great value too, especially as I love seeing previous readers' notes and comments.
Past experience.
Experience of its range, accessibility and clarity.
As usual an excellent shopping experience! I have been shopping with Alibris for the last 20 years and there has never been a negative experience!
Best price and condition
Have used before
Have used many times!
Quick and simple as usual. Would like to know how to search particular sellers to see if they have a copy of a book I'm wanting to buy
Regular buyer
Found a decent copy at a decent price. Job done!
Prefer to buy 2nd hand, alibris helps me do that
Repeat customer
Preferred supplier
'cos Oxfam online didn't have the book I wanted
Having bought one book, would be good to know if other books could be supplied by the same source (and shipping discounted?)
Regular customer. Convenience (live in rural devon)
Prefer to buy 2nd hand if possible, Alibris is a good marketplace, and isn't (as far as I know) owned by Amazon
Alibris provides a good service to book buyers. It is the best place to buy books published in the US.
I saw a book I wanted at a good price.
Alibris provides a good standard of service to its customers.
Staff are fast to respond to problems and last purchase - the seller moved quickly to respond to an issue.
Better prices
Quick message about your shopping experience so far - ok

Being an old customer i deeply appreciate all alibris services and offers it's a treasure trove thank you
I'm an old alibris customer since more than 20 years and always satisfied with the excellence of service
Old customer, used to shop at alibris uk
If I put a one star rating (I won't bore you with the reasons) and your response is: 'Oh you can't possibly mean that - would you like to think again?' then you are just inviting an even more negative response. Try not to be so irritating.
Because mostly it is entirely satisfactory.
Your site refuses to accept the credit card which I normally use. There is nothing wrong with this card. I have had to find my secondary credit card, kept for transactions abroad, and use that. This has been very time wasting and massively irritating. Please remove whatever obstacle you have placed on my card.
Because yours was the only site offering a book which I need. Given my present annoying experience, in future I shall resort to your competitors whenever possible.
Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.
