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.

I have been a customer at Alibris since 2002 and have never been disappointed with their service. Whether looking for rare books, the newest scholarship or children's books, I have always quickly found what I needed at Alibris for a good price.

I could not reduce my order from 2 [incorrect] to 1 copy of Salomon's book!
Evidently a mistake. Could not correct my order to one copy of this book!

So complicated (compared to Biblio, for example). Browsing is more work than fun.
A particular book was listed here by a seller I know, I thought I'd save him the trouble of transerring to to Biblio for my convenience.
