A pleasant experience and an easy to use web site. A reasonable, if not the widest selection of books.
A clean interface also is a help.
Because it had the book I was looking for, and because I prefer to shop away from Amazon and its affiliated and owned sub-businesses.

Overall I appreciate your service. Is there a way to try to buy books from a single supplier to try to combine and reduce shipping charges as well as receive everything in a single shipment?
You’re not Amazon.

I am not happy you extort my review for public distribution. I do not want to give you permission to do that. You do not allow me that choice.
My rating decreased from highest to lowest as a result.

Expected to be able to use discount coupon on next purchase regardless of amount of purchase. Don't like having to wait until I have more I want to order.

When looking for a rare book, I often find that Alibris offers the same book as Amazon, but at a better price.
When looking for a rare book, I often find that Alibris offers the same book as Amazon, but at a better price. I found Alibris's Life of Alfred Wallace offered at less that 1/4 the lowest price offered by Amazon.

My email says I should have free shipping until Sunday on items marked by a truck, this item is marked by a truck. That tells me I should have free shipping and you are charging me $4 plus Shipping.
Usually good

You have a lot of what I want

You had the product, and it was the best price in the market. Also makes a difference to pay in Canadian dollars. Mainly, it was very easy to find and know it was the product I was looking for.

The description was not clear. I want the text in English, but German was also mentioned in the description. I tried twice to contact the seller with no luck. My message would not go through.
My son sent me the link. He wants this as a Christmas present.

I was unfamiliar with the site and didn't know if I could trust it, but I was very pleased with the layout. The site was easy to understand I knew immediately I was buying from private distributors.
Saw the site on Google and wanted to check the prices for a textbook.

I love Alibris. Checking out is a breeze! The book selections are excellent. There are numerous vendors to pick from with options for free shipping.
I buy all my used books from Alibris. The company has a reputation for dependability and reliability.

Cannot check out in chrome. Login doesn't work. Login only works in Safari. I can never get to the checkout in Chrome. I always have to finish checkout in another browser. Seems buggy.

I was told that if I applied for credit I'd get $10 off price. It was not applied. I paid full price despite applying and being accepted for credit. False advertising!

Website is easy and fast to navigate in order to find what I'm looking for.
Alibris is one of several sites I use to buy books. Found the book I wanted on another site, but the Alibris seller is located in the USA for not much more money.

Alibris had some of the books I am looking for.

It was very simple and straightforward. I also liked the fact that the prices were very low for books that are worth $30+. I also liked how the cheapest options were displayed first.
It just randomly popped up when I was searching up "sat prep books used".

Found the book, good price, ordered it and now I wait for it to arrive.
Great selection of books. Better than Amazon.

I forgot to sign in and added all my books to my cart. Once I realized it and did sign in it deleted my cart. Very aggravating that I have to go and find all of them again.
The price of my collage books are reasonable compared to renting them on campus.

Had trouble getting my cards address and shipping address to lineup. Kept refusing my card because of old shipping addresses automatically associating with my card.
