I love alibris.com but I really wish there was an option to search for more than one book on my list from a single seller.
I prefer to buy used books because it’s a more sustainable option.

Shopping is great, however, I do know that all the sellers are way over priced with the shipping because you can ship media via USPS for just a few dollars…

I really like shopping through Alibris! It's easy to follow, can't beat the prices, and have never had a problem with shipping! Thank you, Alibris
Because it's the only place I shop for books, CDs, movies, etc. It's so easy and convenient!

Fast, reliable, easy, and very affordable! It is seldom that I don't find what I'm looking for!
All the reasons above!

Check out was easy, with none of the "you might like" ads that other sites ask. Glad they have the book as it can be difficult to find. Thank you.
Had the book I wanted at the best price.

I'm so very excited to find such incredibly low prices even with the shipping charges. I ordered 12 books that averaged out to $7.06 each!
I was having difficulty finding most of the titles I needed to complete my husband's collection and just started looking for new sellers that I had not seen before. Thanks so very much for the super prices!

So happy to find an original copy of the book I was looking for instead of a print on demand version. Fast search and purchase.
I could not find what I was looking for elsewhere!

Excellent but would like to know when book might arrive and indication of putting in credit card # would be clear if you added "no spaces".

Good discounts. Its really great to see cause I'm a college student and I struggle with money. So this is super helpful to me.
Because I saw an 80% discount off used books

Good cant wait to read my books. Love how this site makes sure we check our info multiple times before completely submitting our orders.
Want to get into reading but dont want to pay too much yet.

Nice selection. Hard to navigate site. Would like to just go down the list of books and check them off, not keep typing author repeatedly.
Nice selection and better prices.

This was a fairly easy process. I just needed an easier way to order multiple copies of a particular book. Otherwise, everything works fine.
For convenience and price.

So appreciate being able to get older books at an affordable price. Just wish the shipping could be less, but the post office needs their money too.

Hopefully the shipping won't take 8 days... which is the usual experience I have with textbook resellers. I'm giving you a shot. Please impress me!
Good price. Expedited shipping, primarily.

I don't like paying more for shipping than the books, but it's necessary since I live in a rural area without any bookstores of such quantity.
It's a habit. My go to book supply store.

I wish there was an easy way to shop with consolidated shipping - seems kind of senseless to create multiple shipments. The discount could be tiny

Slower than I wanted. May not have been your fault. This is a gift from me, the card holder, to my Dad's address to his caregiver.
Lowest cost online.

I can send a book to my brother in CA - he's elderly and has no computer - it was easy to have the shipping address added.
Alibris haș been reliable over the many years that I have bought books, etc from them.

This site is easy to use, books have always been in good shape. Two things that are important to me.
I love the prices!

My daughter likes your site.
Date of experience: December 29, 2022
I don't like having to look at the daily coupon code/worrying that I'm missing one - it just makes it more stressful and annoying over a few dollars.
It was cheapest for this book.

Shop from smaller/ local companies! Great experience and as easy to find the book I wanted at a good price as mega corporation Amazon

Was very easy to find exact book and order! So quick. Did it within a minute I would say. Good price for shipping! Look forward to receiving.
It had a reasonable price for a used book.

I found a very good condition book for an amazing price! The seller is close to where I live, so it should be here quickly. Thanks!
Everyone else had only good and pair copies of the book I wanted to buy, and I never buy less than very good condition. You are a site that I have ordered from before and trust.
Date of experience: July 7, 2023
Very easy to use. Lots of books in a wide range of conditions and a range of prices. As well. Glad to see that you accept payments through PayPal.
A good site for new copies of older books.

I buy books from alibris several times a month. The dollar off coupons used to work, but haven't lately. Otherwise, I am usually pleased.
British book, don't want to spend much.
