Went back to be sure this is a new book, and unfortunately, my credit card details were lost. Would be nice to have a way to double check and not lose my information.
Better price for a new book.

Easy process and I appreciated the comments on each book to hear how used the book is. I will be using this website again depending on how the books actually look when received.
It was an option on my Weber State book website.

I wanted the book to be shipped to me directly and I spent several moments trying to find the site to do this. Other than that, I had no problems placing my order.

Finally found both volumes of a book I was seeking. Searching was easy this time because I had learned to click on the "Details" link to be sure of what I was buying.
Past experience.

Found what I was looking for at a very reasonable price, but why do you require me to grant permission to publish my feedback in order for me to offer feedback at all?
Looking for better alternatives for book purchasing than Amazon. Thanks for providing one.

As usual I found what I wanted immediately by just typing in the name of the author. The prices and shipping are very reasonable. I always look here first for what I want.
I always check here first because I have always had good service and experience with Alibris.

Great selection

With a Google search I found the book quickly. The page layout made finding the best price easy. The check out was quick and easy even without a prior account.
Best available price.

I like that I was able to search by bookseller. I wanted everything to come from one bookseller. Trying to consolidate thinking it would lessen shipping impact on the planet
I have used you all many times when my local book provider did not have what I wanted in stock.

I am very disappointed: I thought shipping was free, based on the email you sent. I have made the order anyway, but next time I will have to look elsewhere
KBecause of your email
Date of experience: October 29, 2021
I have tried to contact the sellers to update my shipping address, and the form alibris provided to do so would not recognize my email address as a real one.
I like the idea of buying used books and giving them new life.

I LOVE Alibris. They are my first stop when looking for a book, of any sort. They have a number of book sellers and various prices. I highly recommend them.

Excellent. You always have the old books I loved and treasured, and at great prices. I love new fiction, but I want all the books I read as I was growing up. Thank you for making it possible.

All of the books I was looking for I found and at very inexpensive prices. It was easy to checkout and hopefully my books show up quickly and as described.
Inexpensive books

At checkout, it would be helpful if it should what books were in the order. I had to go back a few pages to get to the shopping cart to check that I had ordered the correct titles.
Best price for best condition of the used books that I needed.
Date of experience: September 23, 2023
I misread the coupon amount, so I am disappointed. I would also liked to have known if the total before the coupon was inclusive of taxes and shipping or not.
You had acceptable prices on both books I wanted. You have been my favorite for a long time. I have just gotten back to using you more often.

I have a vanilla pre paid gift visa. I was unable to use it since there is no 3 number code. I was disappointed.
I am a long time, very long time user. It is just a normal place for me to go.

I love being able to buy used books online. Your selection is wide and varied and gives me access to reading material I would not, otherwise, be able to afford

Shipping is too much, more than the books. I ordered all books from the same company, so shipping should be less. I will have to shop around in the future.
I've ordered before

I love knowing where items ship from so i can reduce shipping costs
Date of experience: December 7, 2021
It was pretty good. I wish the website would save the filter order I preferred. It defaulted low to high every time I searched for a new book, but I actually wanted it to be by book condition.
The books I wanted kept showing up there.
Date of experience: September 1, 2023
More book details should be visible from the initial screen. If the book is part of a series, it would be good to know prior to the final shipping checkout.
Date of experience: September 13, 2022
Everything was easy to find and in my range for books.will be shopping more. My daughter was right you are a great place to shop for affordable books. Thank you
My daughter told me that you were an affordable bookstore for people on fixed income like me.

Was able to find the best prices on a book series I wanted from this site. With coupons and shipping consolidation I was able to get the price even lower.
