Having an " account" is a nuisance.
Just want to buy the book
Other than that, so glad to avoid Amazon
Thanks
Not Amazon, no "cookies" or other invasion of privacy- other than somehow an account was created.
You had the books I was looking for.
This is my 5th time shopping with you

The price and selection
Date of experience: July 17, 2021
Even after adding in shipping the Alibris price is less than Amazon's with their "free" shipping that requires a hefty annual fee
I want an alternative to doing business with the devil aka Amazon. Had heard good word of mouth about Alibris.

Have had to repeatedly enter my order all day. The cart kept dumping my list before I could get it checked out.
Been using it for years.

Well, er, I didn't have any trouble. The prices, editions and conditions of the books were comparatively displayed enough for a choice.
Because the company is affiliated with igive.com and because I am also an alibris.com seller.

The checkout process would benefit greatly from an "add a note to seller" field. This is standard on this sort of site.

Found the textbook I needed for class at a discounted rate, even cheaper than the large online bookseller that shall remain un-named.
I have had great success with them in the past

Fast and easy. Did comparison shopping, while book was several dollars cheaper on this site, with shipping it the difference was pennies!
