Your payment system was down I tried for hours came back hours later and could finally make my purchase. Your CSI rating is poor as a result

My favorite booksellers are on Alibris. Always a fair deal to be had with a large range of product. The customer is well taken care of here..

I love Alibris booksellers...
I knew there would be a large selection of sellers for what I was shopping for.

Got a good price, although when I first looked for the book it was $3 less, but then that offer disappeared when I went to check out.
Affordable price for book and low shipping cost.

Convenience and price

Thank you for being able to fill my order in such a professional manner. This is one of the reasons I will continue to shop with you
My son in prison at WSP recommended you because you use some of your profits for humanitarian reasons, plus you sell softcover books that the prison will accept, not hardback, and also you have a great selection. Thanks.

From the cart view, it would be helpful to see what condition used books are in instead of simply seeing that a title is a used book.

I love Alibris. My only complaint is that, when reviewing my shopping cart, I can't see the condition of the specific books that are in my cart. I'd like to be able to review that info as well before I commit.

When looking at different books, it would be nice to sort by seller so I can buy multiple books from the same seller and save on shipping

Check out was easy and I was able to find the manga series I wanted at a decent price
Looking for specific manga series that I wasn't able to find in my area. Also a pervious positive experience.

Great price. Easy payment. I was in a hurry and your site has a hardcover I want to read.
Date of experience: June 20, 2024
Alibris is great! I do wish there were an easier way to limit search to a single seller to economize on shipping costs when buying multiple titles.
Alibris is my go-to source for books.

Huge selection, unbelievable prices, and easy to use website. Delivery can sometimes be slow, but otherwise excellent service.
I knew you would have what I wanted at a great price

The website looks simple at first I was worried it was a scam page but toward the end seems legit fast and easy check out thank you
Fair prices for used books

Shipping at other "used book stores" I have used, charges much less for shipping. First time I am using this site. Don't know if I'll be back.
I saw a book I liked.
Date of experience: January 27, 2023
I have looked on a number of sites for a used copy of this book. Your site had it at far and away the most reasonable price.
I've had good experiences in the past

At first attempt a few hrs ago, no luck with website, but easy as could be this time. Must have been short glitch, as all sites have.
Had international bird guide i wanted.

Easy to follow instructions for shipping & purchasing items. Being able to use PayPal was a huge plus for me! I hate using my credit cards online.

It would be nice if you didn't have to work so hard to find lowest shipping costs and/or order different books from same seller so fewer shipments.
Cheaper than amazon

Would be nice if books in series are placed in order of release
Cheaper than amazon

I would like to know shipping costs b4 checkout but like the cost saving suggestions you provide.
Able to find most books cheaper than amazon.

My second choice book was fast and easy to find. I was amazed the varied offered. I've been wanting this book for a long time, thank you!
Give a smaller company a chance. That's the impression I received from my friend years ago.

It was a bit confusing at first (being new to the site) but then it got easy and enjoyable looking for what I wanted to read. Thanks!
Curiosity and I recognized the name.

I was really pleased with the prices, but I found it odd that they all shipped separately which actually made the shipping cost more than my order.
Cheap books

You were recommended by a contact at Eighth Day books. Your price for this out-of-print book was the best of the other sites I had looked at.
Date of experience: April 22, 2021
My husband has ordered from you in the past, but this is my first time placing an order and it was extremely streamlined and easy! Great experience!
I'm not a fan of Amazon and will always try to use another source. I remembered my husband used you in the past (and always had a great experience), so thought I would give it a shot!

It's so great to find deals on used books. As with every search engine it takes time to find reputable sources but the gems are in there.
Availability of desired books.
