I like Alibris and supporting independent online booksellers. Boycott Amazon!
Date of experience: May 17, 2023
I come back to Alibris again and again. I find the books I'm looking for, in the condition I want, with options for regional purchasing, supporting independent booksellers and not lining Bezos' pockets with my hard-earned money.

I like Alibris! Support independent booksellers! The cost saving cart update feature was new to me this time and it saved me $5--thanks!
Because my local bookstores did not have these books in and I would never buy a book from Amazon. I want to support local bookstores and save money at the same time. I feel like Alibris provides this.

Had a specific book I was looking for but price new from publisher was too dear
Date of experience: August 21, 2023
It would be great if, when you already have something in your cart, there were a script in place that elevated that store to the top of the rankings if you're looking for another book. Trying to consolidate sellers is hard, and postage is expensive now. I'd love it if the search prioritized smaller booksellers, too, but I know that's not how online marketplaces work.
I love Albris and have loved Alibris for years.

Previous books have been arriving after a delay in some of them.

Because it popped in the googling of a book.

It is difficult to find proper info about shipping costs.
Because I used it in the past and I was satisfy. However, in the past I could ship for free to Canada. I am little disappointed that is only for US customers.
