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.
Always good at Alibris! Never have been disappointed.
The best...

Convenience, price, reliability

Biblio seller claimed they shipping item, then several days latter told me it was not avaiable. They have a robot telling customers deal is done, when it is not, and when seller tries to match robot's "sold and down message", their system fails. Biblio is giving a false message to buyer, which is wrong.

Easy enough. But shipping is far too expensive. See thrift books.

Was looking for a difficult to find title.

A little wordy for my taste, reference to UK shipping, complicates the process.
I have ordered before.

Very complicated menus for checking out, also, lost cart, item was not available, then searched to find original cart, item was found, lots of effort.
Previous purchase, used item.

I prefer to buy at Alibris than to support Amazon by buying from them.

Very user friendly. Order went through on first attempt. Thank you.
Wanted a bookseller that isn't Amazon

A little confusing. Are you called Alibris or Discover Books?
Date of experience: September 27, 2021
Prices decent overall, but I don't like how shipping costs go up the more items you buy.
Date of experience: March 13, 2022
My only complaint would be that I feel the shipping charges are excessive.
Even with the excessive shipping charge, your price for this book is at least 25%
Less expensive than other sites I checked.
