My credit card information took three times to enter before my order was placed. I double checked the information (one time it was my fault). So I don't know what happened.
Anti AMAZON. Bookshop recommended your site.

I had a very difficult time finding how to pay and an even more difficault time verifying that you had the correct address for me. You should allow your customers the opportunity to verify such info.
I used to use Alibris a lot, but you don't have a website that is easy to use.

Alibris is the best. I recommend it to all my friends and family, and I don't often do that with a site or product.
It's my go to bookstore.

Alibris is the best of bookstores. Extraordinary collection (I've never been unable to find what I was looking for.), and it helps to keep perfectly usable books in circulation. I even shop for gifts here. Have never been let down by a "Very good" purchase or "like new" purchase. Usually by Very Good for myself and Like New for gifts.
Have never been disappointed in any purchase through Alibris. It is an umbrella for so many vendors, and I am always able to find what I need at substantial savings with great service.

My go to bookstore. Every transaction has been excellent. I seldom recomment a site to others, but everyone who knows me knows about alibris.com,
Thank you alibris staff and affiliates.

Alibris is my go-to book store. Great prices, and all the vendors I've ordered from have provided great service.
Date of experience: July 13, 2022
Alibris provides one-stop-shopping from so many book vendors that I can always find just what I'm looking for. Every purchase I have made -- and there have been soooo many -- has been 100% terrific. I recommend Alibris to every one I know who buys books for themselves or as gifts. Those "like new" titles make great gifts at good savings. Thank you, Alibris!
Extremely satisfied with all past purchases. Alibris provides an umbrella site for so many book vendors or both used and new books, that I can always find just what I'm looking for.

Alibris is always my go to vendor for books. Large selection, good prices, fast delivery. Thanks, Alibris!
Alibris is always my first stop when shopping for books.
Date of experience: January 3, 2022
Alibris covers a wide range of vendors for both new and used books. I usually buy "very good" and have always received books that were like new. A great way to keep books in circulation, recycling in an effective manner, and to simultaneiously get great buys. Super option for gift quality books at a great price, too.
It's my go to book site.
Date of experience: December 15, 2021
As always, Alibris order is quick and pleasant, and the prices are so good, too.

Very easy to find books I was seeking, with different formats, pricing and condition clearly specified, as well as discount for combination of items.
Ease, efficiency and value, as well as broad selection.
Date of experience: April 13, 2024
I've ordered from Alibris many times. Only one time did they send a softcover when I had paid for a hardcover. They refunded me my money and let me keep the softcover.
I appreciated their help.
Good service and incredible selection.
Date of experience: February 2, 2021
Went to look for additional items to add to my cart for free shipping and lost all my previous entered information. I am also not sure I had a change to select my username unless it was my email.
Good price on a desired book
Date of experience: May 8, 2021
I was pleased to find a CD I have been looking for. The price was reasonable. I'll be really happy if I receive the book. The last seller I chose accepted my order, but did not ship the book.
I found what I was looking for.
Date of experience: June 14, 2023
I was a little confused with the "free shipping" message when I placed my first book in the cart. It was not clear the free shipping only applied if all items in the cart were from the same vendor.
Price & free shipping. And I wanted to support a site other than Amazon.

99% of the time Alibris has the book I need. Been using their site for years.

The website is easy to navigate, and it was and it was easy to place an order.
The price. The price and the availability of the book I want.
Date of experience: July 11, 2024
It was delivered quickly. Very inexpensive. It was in great condition.
I was searching for a particular book, it came up in Alibris, which I heard about in a You tube video.
Date of experience: July 11, 2024
Alibris is my go-to source for pre-owned books. The selection is excellent, the prices are very reasonable and the delivery times are acceptable.
Ease of use and consistency in delivery.
Date of experience: June 4, 2024
It is my go-to source for books that may not be available through my local independent book stores.
Date of experience: November 26, 2021
Always easy, straight forward and with admirable transparency. I've never been disappointed in the Alibris shpping experience.
Price and an almost 100% chance I’d find what I was looking for.
Date of experience: March 1, 2021
I was very pleased to find as many books as I did on the subject I was looking for. There were great prices. Just needed a short while to find out the mechanics of the site. I will be coming back.
The large selection of books at good prices.
Date of experience: June 28, 2021
The only thing I could complain about is that the site should default to the users country automatically and global items should be filtered out by default.
Recommendation on Facebook from a friend

I was very happy to see the Gibson Book A Treatise in Chancery by Gibson I hope the book print is legible. I am also very happy the price was not as high and Lexis Nexus but then we know how greedy Pirates are.
Had to get the Treatise Book by Gibson
Date of experience: June 1, 2021
I can't always get every title I want, but I am very happy to be doing business with this most reliable alternative to Amazon. I am slowly convincing my book club members to follow my example.
I go to Alibris first for every book -- only Amazon when you do not have want I want.
Date of experience: November 7, 2023
Started just a few months ago -- so far I am pleased and will come here before
Any other seller.
I want to avoid Amazon whenever possible. I belong to 2 book clubs and am spreading the word about Alibris and I can't always afford new books.
Date of experience: April 21, 2023
Thrilled to find an excellent choice of wear and vendor, along with the cart optimizer (genius!) allows me to find the exact copy I need for my needs and budget. Thank you!
For all the reasons listed above.
Date of experience: May 16, 2021
Often look to Amazon for reviews then buy from Alibris. Often much slower but it is more intersting to wonder if something might come today than to expect it like a pill.
Date of experience: April 14, 2021
I had items in the checkout from a previous search as a guest, once I changed my password and logged in they disappeared. I might have wanted these items, but have no recollection of my choices.
I no longer wish to use Amazon and I used to use Alibris years ago.

Found all the copies of the chronicle of Narnia that I wanted and was so excited to find this 50th edition that I had for myself. Now my grandchildren will have it!
Came up on eBay

Better than the rest. Lowest prices. Hassle-free online shopping experience.
Shopping for best prices
Date of experience: July 11, 2024
I really like shopping with you. The only issue I have is I have tried to be a customer not just a guest without success :( I could definitely use your help with that :) Thank you :)
You always seem to have the best buys
