A lot of the newer books are extremely expensive I wish you had a special rate for senior citizens over 65.
Because they are lower than other places

For people that are senior citizens who enjoy reading and love hard copies instead of paper back I which you would give us a higher discount
For hard copy books.

Alibris never lets me down! I always find what I want at a very reasonable price and it arrives relatively quickly.
They had what I was looking for

Mostly finding what I want, although sometimes people's unrealistic expectations of what a book is worth send me to eBay instead.

I have never been disappointed with this company. Books arrived in a timely manner and in condition described. Thank you Alibris!
I trust I will receive what I order and have never had a negative experience.

Shipping costs seem excessive, especially when buying multiple books from the same seller - they charge you multiple times for one shipment...

Checkout was easy. I prefer checking out as a guest, so it was nice to have this option on the website.
Price was right for the item I wanted to purchase

For a student of theology, this is an exceptionally good resource for hard to find and rare books on spiritual matters.

Thank you for your site being easy to navigate! I found the cookbook I wanted, and ordered it without any trouble.
Your site had the book listed for a good price, and in stock.

I do not like paperback books. Your site made it possible to find the book I wanted in hardback form
Searched "hardback book" websites

Website easy to use, descriptions accurate, usually a good array of coupons for use. Shipping reasonably quick, even from overseas sellers.
I've used Alibris before when looking for off-the-beaten-path books, with a good success rate.

Sometimes back button doesn't appear when looking at detail book titles then want to return to scrolling list on iPhone 8.
I want to buy used books

I LOVE that books are reserved in the cart for 24 hours! The free shipping option was a bit confusing though.
Generally good prices - also good coupon code which mostly covered shipping cost
Date of experience: September 4, 2021
Would really appreciate it if shipping prices were included in overall prices. It'd make the cart price a lot less scary.
It had the books I needed at a great price!

The option of guest check out should be just that, even if there is an account established for an email address.
I can usually find what I am looking for and from a large option of book sellers.

Had to make multiple attempts today because part of the website was down. I did like the cart optimization option, though

Great as always. But wish you had a "free shipping" threshold. Love your site but sometimes the Shipping eats me alive.
Easy-to-use
Date of experience: October 28, 2022
The coupon never appeared. If it's not going to be accessible please don't offer it. Otherwise the shopping was relatively easy.
You seem to be able to handle international.

Have always loved shopping at Alibris! When children were in college, Alibris was THE go-to place for textbooks! Quite reasonable pricing.
Date of experience: December 13, 2022
Repeats of offered books are confusing. Easier to use site if a book offer is listed only once on a page.
I had a book search on one book.

Books are easy to find, and product details allow me to make a selection I'm most comfortable with, not just price.
