I have used Alibris for years now. It is my best source for hard to find books in my particular field of study.
Originally, I chose Alibris on the advice of my major professor.

Thank you for having the books that I most want to read at great prices!
I have seen this site before & appreciated the wide selection of available books. Looking for one particular book brought me back to this site. Since the book was available at a great price, I ordered it & 5 other books plus put 4 more on a wishlist.

It went well, but it would be way better if shipping and tax were calculated accurately before selecting/entering payment information.
Generally cheaper prices and $20 coupon deal.

Prices were clear and checkout process was fast. I especially liked that the transaction was conducted in my national currency
I was redirected from gettextbooks.com

The book prices are quite reasonable but the shipping rates give us two hard choices pay up or do without.

You have BOOKS, good prices, some free shipping, used options. Your website functions nicely. What isn't good with all that?
Price for the one book I wanted with the option for free shipping at a fairly low minimum.

Other sites may have the same price points, but the shipping speed and clean UI can't be beat for me.
It's the only good site that has all the books I want in stock right now. People complain about shipping damage from Alibris which almost scared me away from buying here, but I haven't had an issue with that yet.

The optimized cart is a great feature that saves money on finding editions from the same sellers for reduced shipping.
They had books that other sites did not

I'm a librarian in and elementary school and I have successfully found many books for the library at excellent prices.
I needed to replace a completely worn out copy of a book and I knew Alibris was the place to get it at a great price.

I ordered this item yesterday and the order was cancelled - item no longer available. That deserves 0 stars for service

Price and availability
Date of experience: March 28, 2022
Simple, quick, and easy. As "stock" as this answer sounds, I am really impressed with how smooth everything went through.
Totally random. I was looking up a single title and I never knew of your site. First time trying it and so far seems good.
Date of experience: December 13, 2022
Had everything we needed. Did not like shipping on each item individually, but maybe shipping from different locations, so ok.
Had the items needed.

The website seems to work better than in the past. For example, changing billing and delivery addresses was much easier.
Book availability, trust, ease of use.
Date of experience: January 5, 2022
Quick, intuitively set up and laid out. I look forward to checking out other books you might have in stock.
Date of experience: October 13, 2021
I remain unhappy that shipping costs on my orders are consistently 1/3 of the entire order. It's my only complaint
Good past experiences

This company had the book I wanted at a great price. Shopping and placing my order was simply and quick.

Very easy to use your search and payment systems Thank you. I like your basics on the page, without distractions.
I believe you are an independent book store, and hope I am correct. I do not choose to buy from Amazon, or booksellers that feel they can't be sustainable without depending on them. We will never be sustainable if we think that way!
