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.
Hi, I don't understand how it is that my saved card details (which were successfully used to make a recent purchase) are today no longer valid. Which then requires me to input (and save) the identical details again in order to make another purchase today (?)
Thx,
Should not have to untick to not receive a newsletter. Mildly irritating but enough to not make Alibris first choice.
Couldn't find the book from my usual suppliers
Only place that had the book
Shouldn't have to untick to not get your newsletter. Assume nothing, let me choose. Its irritating
My usual supplier didn't have the book i wanted
Have to untick to not get a newsletter, that is madly irritating each time I make an order and puts me off.
Needed a particular book
Should not have to untick Newsletter. Mildly irritating to do it every time.
I don't like the assumption that I want your newsletter and I have to unclick it. The default should be the other way round. Its pushy. This kind of thing really puts me off using Alibris.
You are selling a second hand book I found difficult to get at my usual suppliers
Dont like the fact I have to untick the Newsletter request
Needed the book
I have used them before
Gave me euros had to change
Had to unclick Newsletter. Should be asked if I want to get it. Annoying. Alibris not my first choice bookshop
Needed the book and usual supplier didn't have it
Every time I go to checkout I am told my card details are incorrect, but they are not. I have to re-enter the same card details from scratch each time, though they are already on your system. I don't mind if the issue is to put in a security number (which is good practice), but that is not what I am told. I am also OK with you not saving my card. However, saving it but then failing to use it without explanation -- consistently -- seems a little silly.
Book hard to come by!
Your website kept bouncing me between 'place your order' (which took me to the card page) and 'save and continue' (the only option on the card page -- where my details were already in place and which sent me back to 'place your order'!). I was worried I'd made the same order 5 times. I eventually broke the cycle by entering my card details again even though they were already showing in your system.
It's not Amazon.
Great! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………….………..
Had a rare book I needed
My book was available here!
Had the book I needed!
Had book I was searching for
Shopping was fine, but I wasted time chasing a voucher offer: I will not bother with them in future
Because BookFinder.com indicated that you stocked the book that I was after
Good service. I found the book I was looking for straight away.
Always manage to find exactly what I want
Ordered many. Many book from Alibris. In my experience all the individual suppliers provide fast efficient service. Books are true to stated condition. A great site to find books not available elsewhere. Great fan.
Availability of wide array of books. Honest site.
Tutto molto chiaro e semplice. Grande disponibilità di testi
Simple process and title availability and the description of the books
Past experience
Excellent quick and easy service over the years...
Looking for the cheapest price I could for a book
Quick, Fast and easy to order
Looking for a decent price and quick service
Found exactly what I wanted and checkout was easy and fast
How come the significant increase in shipping costs only shows AFTER I punched all the CC details - and not before, after registering the shipping address already?
Seemingly the preferred offer on bookfinder.com - that was BEFORE you showed the REAL shipping costs:-(
Let's see how dependable the description of the books condition was
Linked to bookfinder.com
Easy to navigate, always remembers me, but then requests security details at the important times.
Link from bookfinder.com for a book I was needing.
Book offered on bookfinder.com and price and seller good.
Linked from bookfinder.com - book I wanted in the condition I wanted.

Pleased to find a textbook at a modest price for a computer course
Price of goods ordered
I always turn to Alibris for secondhand books...always find what I want at the price I want and a helpful seller willing to send it to me in Spain. Excellent service at every stop on the way. And very easy to pay, too. Thank you so much.
Brilliant, I now go straight to Alibris for books because the prices are always reasonable and payment is so easy. Thank you...
Because Alibris is where I always end up finding what I want at a very competitive price...
Alibris is always excellent, good for prices, good for paying, totally reliable... thank you
Because we wanted very much to see this documentary and it was not available on Amazon here in Spain or in the UK... I usually find what we want on Alibris.
Excellent source of DVDs when Amazon lets you down or won't deliver to your country... very efficient and reliable.
Amazon would not send the DVD of my choice to my address. So I turned, as always, to Alibris. Thank you.
Only 4 stars because I'm weary of continuing to have to re-enter my card details
When you have them saved and authenticated. Yawn.
I used your service for the first time in December and it was fast and efficient. I nearly gave up today. You constantly refused to accept my email or card, You kept repeating that the details did not match your records. That was this morningL I have now tried again this afternoon and entered two different cards as you suggested.
I was shocked to see the last four numbers of both of these were already displayed on a list of alternative numbers that came up. I used one of these and it worked and the order has been accepted by your system.
How can you have these existing numbers already stored when my previous order in December went through without any problem and would have only needed me to use one of three different numbers and why did you tell me that my details did not match your records.

Personal choice
Simple to use, and always found a range of editions of the book I am looking for.
Used previously and it works
Cart can automatically empty if not signed in first, leaving product unavailable for 12 hrs. Some products become unavailable after putting in cart, but stay available to re- add to cart for days (where process repeats).
Cheap international postage, good vouchers, reputable store.
Search bar doesn't always work as I'd expect, needing upc instead of title to bring everything up in some cases.
I knew international shipping was very cheap, and Alibris was reputable.
Nice and easy to find stuff, great quality selection, feedback and reviews on the independent shops. But a total nightmare checking out? Do not like using my actual real information would much prefer PayPal or Klarna or google pay, Samsung pay or amazon pay. I would feel much more secure
Price, quality of the books, selection
Description of the book condition as simply "good" lacks more precise details.(e.g. Ex Library book? Dust jacket? Etc.) Otherwise, a fairly satisfactory experience.
Used satisfactorily in the past.
Reliability and competitively priced.
This is my first time of ordering but helped to use an introductory £3 discount. It all helps!
Competitive prices compared to other sites (regarding an academic reference book).
Easy and professional shopping experience. Thank you.
Very good choice of history books.
A lot of choice in books, at reasonable price. Many thanks.
Super Super Super Super Super Super Super Super Super Super Super Super
Generally very good. A little more clarity on shipping charges to my destination (UK) would be helpful. Using the term "Estimated shipping" at the point of checkout does not inspire confidence that that is what I will actually be charged.
Otherwise, all good. Thank you.
Alibris was the only place I could find this book advertised for sale in an acceptable condition.
All good apart from the confusing way that changing billing and shipping address options are presented and the lack of logical simplicity in how this can be achieved.
The book I wanted was listed on the Bookfinder website with a link that took me to Alibris.
