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.

Low cost and previous shopping experience

Straightforward, easy. Would have been nice if told in advance what the shipping fee was
You carry what I wanted at the second lowest price. Didn't go with the lowest because you had 5 stars and they only had 4. I'll take a company with a perfect record over a company that has had issues, no matter how small, as I just don't need any problems, and $1 is worth it

Excellent website and you have the book I want to get for my husband's birthday gift.
I’ve used this company in the past and like it very much.
