Quick to find the book I wanted, quick to find one in condition worth buying, quick to checkout.
Less expensive to buy a hard copy than the kindle version.
Date of experience: February 5, 2024
Found the book easily. Good list of vendors to choose from. Updated my user account from long ago, kudos for that. All good.
I just didn't want to pay the amazon price, and was hoping to find a good clean used copy of the title.

Great experience. A back ordered book at my bookstore popped right up here.

Want to support independent booksellers. Jeff Bezos has enough of the market, he will not miss my purchase.

Want to support independent book sellers. They might have an infinite selection that the monopoly seller may not have.
Date of experience: December 28, 2023
I like being able to buy from a variety of booksellers other than the near monopoly online named for a river.
Have bought from them before

I mis-keyed the Phone number and your software would not let me go back and correct it. I did not want to change the shipping address, just the phone number. Fix it so I can go back and correct errors.
I have had a good experience with Alibris in the past

Great! Glad to find the place where I can order these books.
I found a shipping label tucked in a book I am reading today from an order my husband placed in 2012. So I decided to check it out and get some books I want to read and share!

Almost always find older books. Prices are competitive but shipping should be disclosed earlier in the process.

Easy checkout system. I appreciated the recommended savings change at checkout, also.
Books were in stock and reasonably priced compared to Amazon.
Date of experience: December 20, 2023
Because you had cheaper rates for college textbooks than amazon.
Date of experience: January 17, 2024
It's too good. It's too easy to spend my money here.
I got these books for 10 cents more (including shipping) than the cost of three of the same ones on Amazon--before shipping. I typically only read books once so I don't need any fanciness of new ones.
Date of experience: February 4, 2024
