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.
Good prices, excellent selection. Easy to find description for different qualities.
You're not Amazon.

Good prices, good search engine, easy to navigate book selection. I will be sure to come back for all my book needs, and recommend it to friends!
It popped up on my Ecosia search, never heard of all, saw a great price so I bought. Plus I'm moving away from Amazon, for obvious reasons.

The site is as easy to navigate as Amazon - and I usually find what I want for a much better price.
Looking for a particular book.

Important information made clear and an easy process
Given most packages delivered by USPS are done so carelessly and most often are stolen, I would have liked more clear information on who and when it was being delivered. As it was I was locking at home checking the front door every hour from 9-6 for the package.

The only thing I would change is being able to add multiple coupons.
The textbooks I purchased here are at least half the price of the same ones at my University

Hope I didn't order it twice, but everything seems ok.
It was from an e-mail telling me I didn't get this book when I first ordered it.
Date of experience: January 7, 2022
I wanted to look for specific and it took me a little time to figure out how to enter the names of the books. Otherwise, everything went very well.
Last time I looked for these books I didn't find them. I was giving it another try. Also the suggestion of free shipping was an incentive. Often the shipping cost is greater than the cost of the books I order. The actual discount was less than I had hoped, but thanks for $3.

I wanted to order a two volume set. No problem! Alibris treated me right.
Addall showed me that this was the best price. Also, both volumes are described as 'like new.' That's important to me.
