Very impressed w/ orderly arrangement of products for sale, e.g., music, books, movie, etc. Makes sense! Also, the choice of sellers is easy to understand & navigate--I contacted one book seller Solr by email to find out if the used book they were selling was highly dusty (allergies) & they emailed back w/ details & evident concern. Alibris is now my "go-to" source for great prices, selection & quality of sale. Thanks for doing a great job!
Very Difficult to change shipping address. Had to quit internet browser and log back in again. Shipping choices limited. I know from past purchase that independent sellers can take their sweet time shipping items and often do. Why does alibris appear to charge at 1st class parcel rates and deliver at slower and cheaper media mail rate? Delivery window excessively wide.
No comments... everything seems straight forward and works so far

Free shipping drew me in, but I still dislike paying 7% sales tax when the state rate is 6%.
Wife found books she wanted.

It would have been a five-star rating except Alibris insiste on charging 7% sales tax when sales tax in Vermont is 6%. I have told them repeatedly and they ignore me.

As usual, I am being charged more than the tax rate for the state of Vermont, 7% rather than 6%. They've been told before and do not listen.
Force of habit.
