I would have liked my shopping cart to not empty when I went through the sign-in and forgotten password loops.
I felt there was a high probability of finding the book I was looking for, rather than an altered reprint.
Date of experience: January 28, 2024
Getting logged in and changing my password and then not finding the items I was interested in without searching all over and still not finding the original seller, well, it was a hassle. One of the original books I never found in the condition I wanted.
I had made a list of books from my collection which I am missing, and found some more by the same author.

Other than Amazon, this book was hard to find but my local small bookstore recommended Alibris and it was pretty easy from there.
Because of a recommendation from a small bookstore here and the fact that I hate Amazon.

I usually shop for books on ebay but this is every bit as easy so I will consider shopping with Alibris now!
I got a coupon and it reminded me of your business.

The cost of the book is so complicated between tax coupon shipping and dealoz cashback. Not straightforward. Shipping on Dealoz not same as on Alibris
Lowest price on Dealoz

Poor website design, difficult to use on Android (links intermittently don't work). Loss of connection loses the link to an extant orderable book.

Found a used book in adequate condition for a very competitive price and then saved another $1 with promotion. Thank you
Googled book and author. Alibris had best price.
Date of experience: January 8, 2024
Very user-friendly site. I was able to see condition of book, the original sale price along with the price i'd pay and shipping costs. No surprises.
Found almost by accident. Alibris has never popped up before when i've looked for a book--what is your niche?

Easy and quick and I add words because you require 50 characters
Used books are cheaper and part of the reuse economy
Date of experience: June 24, 2024
I am always caught off guard by the low cost of the books and the high cost of shipping!
I support the used book economy for environmental and budgetary reasons

Site is relatively easy to use. Thanks! But 10 dollars in books has 18 dollars in shipping? Wow!
I like to support used book sellers

I am happy to support re-sale of used books! And I needed to find several books not easily obtainable locally, used.

Relatively easy to use, happy to be directed to used book sellers nationwide
Used books save me money, re-purpose books no longer wanted elsewhere (environmental)

The Alibris website surreptitiously signs one into their mailing list rather than having customers opt in. Let the buyer beware!
I have had enough of Amazon, too much actually.

The books were received in good time and were all in great condition.
I have been a patron for over ten years. I find the service to be very reliable. There was one occasion some years ago where a book came with pages missing. That was the only time. Good work!

Very user-friendly, and my purchase records are kept well and safely.

Was really quick and easy to order - my first time. Would be 5 stars if shipping estimate had not been way below actual shipping cost.
Had an unusual book I recently discovered was written by my grandfather's sister's son!
