This site was extremely easy to use with great information regarding the book's overall general condition and all necessary payment & shipping details. Thanks so much!
It was a location closest to where I live for shipping reasons. I thought I would check out this seller. I liked what I saw and read, so I went for it! I will definitely let you know if the book arrives in good condition, and if it was what I expected.

I love my selections, but feel that the shipping rates are high, especially since only one book seller is involved in sending books, which should be covered by "book rates."
Because you have titles that I want for my granddaughter.

Shipping charge of $4.99 per book is VERY high. And it's getting worse.

Your shipping rate is way to high. Also I ordered multiple books from the same vendor, still there is no shipping discount.

Easy to use, great prices and fast shipping. I will be using them again.

Thorough description of books allows one to find a copy that suits one's preferences. Easy communication with sellers and ordering is pretty straightforward.
Sick of Amazon and the idea that only a new book is a click away.

I wish more books were eligible for free shipping. Please continue to offer your discount coupons. That is what will make me choose Alibris over other book-selling sites.
Discount coupon for $20.00 off the purchase of books totaling $140.00 or more.

I would like to see the following information be easily displayed for each book: price, condition, publisher, seller. It's all there, but not in one place.

Had problems adding not Visa card and also $5 coupon turned out to be useless because minimum purchase $50 is obligatory. Unfortunately I don't recommend.
Because they have the lowest prices.

Alibris makes it easy to connect with used and collectible booksellers nationwide, thereby supporting independent bookstores rather than corporate megaliths.
I needed a New copy of The Three Billy Goats Gruff by Jerry Pinkney and found just what I was looking for.

Because it is a reliable source for used books and NOT OWNED BY AMAZON

I've bought well over 50 books from alibris. No sarcasm. Great materials. Super cheap prices. Only suggestion to future buyers. Buy in bulk since shipping generally kills the bank account.
Materials. Can't beat the prices.

Had hard time logging into account and then books would disappear from cart... could not add back in because they were no longer available. Bad system.
Date of experience: September 26, 2021
Shipping rates are higher than they should be. Also, Books I selected to my cart at reasonable price were later much more expensive and/or not available.

I like shopping at Alibris, but inventory needs to be updated regularly so customers don't get cancellation emails of products, and then find them available again the next day.
Great prices and free shipping.
Date of experience: September 28, 2021
I don't know what y'all have done, but it's gotten glass-smooth. It takes about 15 seconds to make a purchase. Of course, that could be seen as good or bad...;-)

Because I'm weaning myself from the knee jerk response of going to amazon.
Date of experience: April 18, 2021
Quickly found what I wanted at the best price possible. Alibris is well organized and easy to search. Detailed reviews give me confidence in my purchase.
I was looking for a specific edition of a book from a certain year and needed to find the lowest price possible. I wasn't happy with the sellers on other sites - but found what I needed here.
Date of experience: November 9, 2021
No fuss shopping - quick and straightforward, with my details correctly remembered. Unlike another bookseller which defaults me every time to the wrong delivery address.
Book at the right price

Recently discovered alibris - so far, its been great! Much better than having to deal with that 'other' major online book retailer named after a river...
