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.
Easy to find what I wanted, good description, fast check out

I wish the minimum to get free shipping was lower, so it would be more competitive with Amazon for smaller orders.

Shopping and ordering a book on Alibris is very easy. I appreciate the seamless experience.
I look at different sites and see which book costs the least (excluding Amazon because I don't like Amazon).
Date of experience: June 4, 2022
Because the book I wanted was cheaper from you than from Thriftbooks, and you are not called Amazon, even though you may be owned by Amazon (I'm not sure.)
Date of experience: May 30, 2022
Because I like to choose other companies besides Amazon and I have never had any problems with Alibris
