Help on shipping costs. Items shipped from one source could be grouped and should ship for less. Rather than a charge for each item. Thank you.
I can find items not available in my bookstore for a fair price.
Concerned about shipping costs.

I have used Alibris only a few times in the past decade. However, it is my first place to look for hard to find or unusual topics.
I knew I could find what I wanted.

Would not accept the credit card i wanted to use. It works everywhere else. The billing address is correct but denied for that reason.

You are charging too much for shipping. And that came at the end, when I had already invested time and energy on this purchase, a nasty surprise.!
Because it had what looked like a good cheap. Purchase price! I was wrong, Because the high cost of shipping. Brought? The purchase. Price? App.

Could not figure how to get to cart without placing another book on the list. I closed out yesterday and came back today with same problem.
Have been pleased with all books ordered in the past.

Used iPhone to fill out form as a new customer. When I hit "continue" I was looped back continually. Gave up! Tried again later and finally got thru
Googled The Unknown Soldier (2006) usedDVD and Alibris came up. I didn’t look at your other offerings because I was upset by the looping. Frank

Wish you could find a way to make easier use of coupons - % off, etc. I could purchase more items with greater frequency if that were the case.
I found the item I most desired listed with Alibris and you also provided a discount coupon - also you provide a 12-hour hold on items placed in cart.

You had the best price / condition for the item needed + discount coupon.

I could not find this book available anywhere else online. Thank you so very much for stocking this most basic of all American Writings.
It was the only place I found with this book in stock

It was a pleasure that I could pay by credit card. The ordering went smoothly. Now I have wait to receive my ordered item. Thanks

I would have ordered more if you had them; one vendor listed that they had multiple copies but there was no way to increase amount of order
Had what I needed

You provide a wonderful, comprehensive site and I am thrilled to have found the books selected to help my daughter in her medical studies.
Because I have purchased from you previously and have found Alibris to be a great site.

HAD PLANNED TO ORDER MORE BOOKS BUT THE SHIPPING AND HANDLING WAS TOO HIGH. YOU SHOULD GIVE DISCOUNTS TO CHURCH BOOK CLUBS AND HONOR TAX EXEMPT. I DID NOT SEE THIS ON YOUR SITE.
I like your website and the quantities available.

Find this website is very helpful in finding what I want and generally accurate condition information. It is my go to place for used books.

Site is easy to use and the choice of books is huge. Prices are as good or better than other similar sites. I will be back here often!

Your site is easy to navigate even when I had a problem signing in.
It helped me easily change a password and complete order.
Alibris is often a choice when using Bookfinder4U, as it was today.

Delayed by log in, the book I wanted was no longer available. Had to buy a more expensive copy, in not as good condition.

Quick and easy but there was no spot in the checkout process to enter my discount code of $5 off the total purchase amount.
Alibris was the only seller that came up in a Google search that was selling the album I wanted to purchase.

Easy search engine, clean presentation. I just wish there was a sort option so I can have the lower priced books first when browsing.
Looking for a hard to find book.

Fairly easy shopping. I wish I could have seen what the sellers stars really meant -- like wrong product sent or not in correct shape, etc.
Date of experience: May 15, 2022
Very well organized for easy use, plus the compare cart savings is great to be aware of for options, that's really thoughtful and appreciated.
Saving and supporting this alternative to the big box Amazon, to have an alternative option of choices is important to me.

It was so easy. I have used your website many times over the past few years. You are my favorite site for used books!
