I love Alibris's selection and prices. Moreover, I've never been disappointed with the condition of an item. I just wish things arrived more quickly.
Amazing deals! Amazing prices!

I tried to order four copies of this book because I like to give copies of it for wedding presents and I couldn't find a way to do this. I hope you will help me with this.
Because I don't do business with amazon any more.

Looking for a specific book by Rollo May.
Date of experience: February 7, 2024
The book I was looking for came up quickly, and check out was easy and straight forward.
I couldn't find the book any where else.

There are usually several of the books I am looking for, so I can choose the condition of the book I am buying. Sometimes I want quality, sometimes I just want the book to be legible.
From past experience, I’ve always gotten my books as described and in a timely manner.

Love this site, the selections, the process. I can tell over the years you've been working to make it better and better. You answer literally all my needs for books, especially the classics or foreign-language ones. I think of you as a silent, helpful friend. Thanks, friend!

1-Suggest books based on my cart.
2-Suggest books based on the single seller I have already chosen books from (in this case I chose 3 books from Thrift Books-Dallas).
History of great order experiences.

I have used Alibris for years first as a librarian and now as a grandmother. I used to have this book but lost it in a flood. I have grandkids now and I want to use it as a meditation tool.
Great past experience

I don't understand why shipping is three times my order total. Do the titles come from various locations or from one warehouse?
I am a former librarian and became acquainted with your company years ago. None of my local libraries have these titles.

I used to use Alibris in my job as a librarian. I am now retired and still occasionally come back and I have never had any problems. Can't wait to get this order!
Past experience

Finding the book was fine. I am wondering why you charge tax on the shipping and handling. Actually when I liiked up the book it said it was eligible for free shipping.
It had a very good copy of the book I was looking for at the lowest price

I found a rare book at a great price and it was so easy to make the purchase. So happy!
I quickly found the book I wanted and a great price!

Very good, except I selected my books and then needed to get my password and then couldn't find the cart with my book in it, and I had to start over gain.
I knew I would find what I needed at Alibris.

I accidently put the wrong address in the payment line and now it's permamently there. I was able to add the right address for billing but unable to remove the wrong one.
I like this site for the selectrion and prices

I've used them before, and they have the best prices.

Using my credit card was impossible! Wouldn't accept postal code in format specified and would not accept some credit card details as specified. Will not order again!
My daughter wanted the book. It was a gift

This time I didn't get a message about consolidating some orders to save on shipping. I like it when I get that message (maybe there wasn't a way for me to save money this time).
I looked around for the best site when I began this degree, and now use it every semester.
Date of experience: December 15, 2023
The selection is always the best, and I'm grateful to be able to shop second-hand through this kind of aggregator.
I wanted a book on gardening, and I prefer to get my books used through Alibris.

I just placed my order. I liked what I read about Allibris. I was very happy Allibris had the book I was looking for. I'll let you know any other details when I receive the book.
I liked what I read about the site.

Alibris nearly always has what I'm looking for, even when I'm occasionally looking for something out of print - such a wonderful site for bibliophiles!
Good holiday coupon and I knew the site would have what I was looking for

Didn't get my up to $5 off my first order when signing up for txts. I didn't expect it to come off shipping but to get the book for free would have been nice.
