Well put together and a straightforward of ordering. For the chosen item, the best price as welland the book is conisdered in "good" condition. With thanks.
I remembered Alibris fromthe past successes actually, after trolling through to find this book on different sites. The shipping cost here is far higher than other sites, but since most of the others are in the USA, potential inport duties as well as the initial price of the same used music book takes the final price well beyond reason and time.

I ordered a $#*!ing textbook that I needed for my class which I found on this website for cheaper price. After buying the god dam book the person said they shipped it but here I am a month later. WHERE THE $#*! IS MY BOOK? I contact them and they blame it on global warming and bad weather. $#*! YOU SCAMMERS, GO EAT A $#*!! DONT ORDER FROM HERE EVERRRR! DEAD $#*! GIVE THEM A 0 STAR BUT ITS NOT POSSIBLE. EVEN EBAY IS NOT LIKE THIS $#*!.

Love Alibris and my ability to find almost every book I'm looking for. When my chosen book was already sold, they suggested a copy of the same volume that was a similar price and condition. Nice.
I shop through Alibris for my ability to locate books out of print and support small bookstores.

I was supposed to get $5 off on this purchase, according to the misleading promo. The site makes the purchaser sign up for it, but then that's the last you hear about it. A time-wasting come-on.

Barnes and Nobel has no guest check out option. I loathe creating a new account. I don't want to have a password. Alibis is a nice book seller. Alibis does not require passwords to read books.

When I first began searching for books, and placing some in my cart, there was a message that for a certain amount, shipping would be free. This however was not the case when I checked out.

I enjoy the broad variety and range of choices for items of interest. At times the suggestions can be tedious, they are interesting. I like the recently viewed section it saves me time when I return.

Finding the books is no problem but the ability to use coupons stink. Too many rules making it very difficult to take advantage of them. It should be 5% or 10% across the board. No stipulations

Shipping is very expensive! There should be a discount for ordering several books - or you should help by optimize if the cost by showing if more than one book could be obtained from the same source.

We love you guys! You can find all the unusual, or out-of-print, AND you guys saved me on a last-minute gift I didn't have time to scout out. Always as ordered, always profession, you just rock.
My kids' odd taste in reading forces me to start gift hunting now!

I am a college student and had ordered 2 books from this website. However, i am not pleased at all with my order. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED EITHER OF THEM. It has been over 2 weeks. One of the orders was sent back to the seller, because apparently my address is incorrect, which is BS. I always make sure my information is correct. The other book i ordered is stuck in a city near me, with the additional comments saying,"delivery confirmation". If i received the book properly and on time i wouldn't be on this website. I NEVER RECEIVED MY BOOKS. I am extremely unhappy with this website, and quite frankly am never ordering from them again. I emailed the sellers and contacted the website a day ago and have not been responded to since. I have a feeling i'm gonna end up asking for a refund. NEVER ORDER FROM ALIBRIS.COM! They are extremely unreliable and unprofessional.

I have previous books on order which have displayed order numbers for tracking (shipping) numbers for over 2 weeks even though you claim they have shipped. What gives.
You seem reputable.

The information on checkout form needswork. You don't know what shipping is until checkoutbor if it's even available. And what book is hard, soft, etc. info needs to be real time as you are shopping because some us have to set limits on our shopping.
