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.
Able to get the book I wanted. Shipping was a little high.
On email list.

So I don't use Amazon!

It's very good and easy to access same as before I got the order few years ago.
The price of the book which I chose is a little bit inexpensive than other book sellers on line, such as Amazon.
Especially the delivery charge is better than that one. It's good to save the charges. Thanks.
