Was able to change card on file, thank goodness. Internet as such is increasingly less easy to use than in previous years. Hang in there.
Longtime customer. Chiefly, you had the book I need. Scholars do not read at random.

Right now, things are quite fine. I should point out that, to the best of my recollection, ANY Alibris password I do have has been saved and MUST already be a matter of record with you.
I have previously bought items from Alibris.
Date of experience: March 28, 2021
The prices are good, I can get free shipping on 75% or more of my books, and they are always in the advertised condition if used.
I wanted an alternative to Amazon (many years ago)
Date of experience: March 31, 2024
Error message saying my promo code "Blossom" had already been used--the codes were new to me. That message did not make me a happy customer.
I was in search of long out-of-print books. I'm a retired Librarian 14 years in industry & 17 years in Public Library Systems. As a child I read my Grandmother's books; she was born in 1900. I'm buying the reproductions of her choices for my cousins grandchildren as they are the 1st YA books and NOT what people expect.
There are problems: The 1st copy of Maculay's UNBULDING I bought from you is missing the first ten pages. I plan to photocopy those pages from the 2nd UNBUILDING I bought from ALIBRIS & tip them into the 1st (defective) purchase. (Basic library book repair.)

I've been very happy with almost all of my purchases. For some reason I tend to purchases in Ohio--I do have favorite stores because of inventory, prompt shipping & value. I am a retired Librarian. Books are one of my favorite gifts to select & give.
