I have ordered through Alibris for several years. The ordering process is easy and I like that it offers the choice of either "used" copies or "new" copies; I also appreciate that I can choose the vendor I want.
It is dependable.

Looking for hardcover Dean Koontz books I couldn't find in Amazon or Thriftbooks.
Date of experience: April 21, 2021
I appreciate being able to sort the list by "sellers near me".
I always choose Alibris. If the book has a common title that makes it hard to vind, I sometimes look at Amazon to get the ISBN, but then I go back to Alibris. I occasionally look at addall, but the seller I end up buying from is usually Alibris anyways, so only look at addall if I Alibris doesn't have what I want.
Date of experience: August 15, 2023
I found what I wanted very quickly, and both the price and shipping charges were reasonable.
I frequently find German books at Alibris that are not even listed on Amazon. The last one I ordered I even couldn't find on addall books. The shipping charges for German eBay sellers are way too high.
Date of experience: November 21, 2022
I found what I was looking for immediately using a title search. It was easier than finding the book on the publisher's website!
Alibris is the first place I look for books. I only look at other online booksellers if I can't find what I want on Alibris.
Date of experience: June 30, 2022
I especially appreciate the fact that the location of the various book sellers is provided, which gives me an idea about how long it will take to receive the book. Information about the book's condition is also impotrant.
I worked in a bookstore for awhile when I was living in LA, and watched the demise of many good independent book sellers. For that reason, I ALWAYS buy from small independent book sellers. I encourage everyone to do the same.
Date of experience: November 21, 2021
I found what I wanted quickly, it was reasonably priced, and I so ordered it.
Alibris consistently lets me buy the books I want at a reasonable price from small, independent booksellers.

I found a book BEFORE I was logged in, and put it in my cart. Then, I wanted to check out, and logged in. However, the item in my (not logged-in) cart had not been copied / moved transferred to my logged-in cart. It would be nice if the (not logged-in) cart could be copied / moved / transferred to the logged-in cart after log in.
I am a regular customer.

I chose Alibi because od the cost.
