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.
Still trying to understand what happened the first time I ordered
Recemended from a boostore I appreciate good refreaels

The shipping time has improved greatly. My last order took only one week to arrive.
Dependability counts.
Below: No need to follow up with me; if I'm not satisfied, I'll contact you.

For years, Alibris has been my first choice. Why change now?
Below re feedback: All 5 books are from the same seller. I'll let you know how long it took to receive them. For close to $20 in shipping costs, the books could be "overnighted" to me.
Date of experience: March 18, 2022
The books are always in good shape, and I've not gotten a wrong book, but the delivery time seems way toooooo long. For $3.99 each, the books should arrive sooner. It takes forever to get books from you. That's why I order 3 or 4 books at a time.
You always have what I want.

Always fast and easy, with a wonderful selection of books.

Great to find the book, albeit expensive! I'll use this service again.
I have ordered from you for years. My sister discovers you more than 25 years ago, probably.
Date of experience: April 6, 2022
Found what I was looking for. An old edition! In two volumes. The one I used to have.
My sister discovered you in the 1990s and I have had lots of success with you too.
