I'm so glad you're still not part of Amazon, which I refuse to patronize. This was easy, inexpensive and I'm quite content.

As long as Alibris remains not owned by Amazon I will always choose it. They have accurate descriptions, dependable products, prompt delivery and the best prices I've found.

My debit card does not have a billing address. I get statements online. I would like to have books sent to my post office box -- this seems IMPOSSILE!

Missed using the coupon by 50 cents. That sucks.
Good prices on used books.

When 6 of the books are coming from the same source, why would there be a shipping cost for each book?
You had most of the titles I was looking for.
Date of experience: September 25, 2023
I saw that this book was available for a little over $6.00 plus shipping. I ended having to pay almost $15!
I went to Amazon first, end ended up at Alibris

Quick and easy. I just hope that since I am only 2 hours away from the store, they will ship quickly.
Amazon was way overpriced.

I had forgotten about this site. I used to use it all the time. Great prices and selection. Site is super easy to use, too.
Based upon last experience. Also better prices than I found other places.

Shipping destroys your prices. It's way too high. Shipping is Almost $5 per book. Might as well go back to Amazon.
The book prices… then at the end of your shopping when you check out there’s a huuuuge shipping fee.

I wanted to purchase two of the same book, very frustrating. Some people have friends that they wish gift a book.
I wanted to support an independent, dedicated, purveyor of books - the others do not need my money, yet they desire the money.

Easy website to use, and I like that Alibris can tap into the inventory of hundreds, maybe thousands of booksellers all over. Usually when I'm looking for a particular book I can find it here.
