I don't like that my order was cancelled after I placed it. Please consider dropping this vendor.

Easy to use site. Able to find books not found elsewhere. Easy to save shipping costs under one seller

This is more about my LAST buying experience (of "A Fine Romance"); the USPS said they delivered it, but it never showed. So lousy lat time, and waiting to see this time.
Benn coming to you for decades.

I would much rather not have to set up an account, but felt I was pressed to do it.

A huge variety of selection and easy to choose seller with specific details made my shopping very easy!
Had ordered yesterday via a google search, so wanted to check out the website and the selection

Long time customer.

Alibris has a wide range of selections and has already been really, really helpful for me in the short time I've had my account. Thank you.

The site advertises free shipping for orders over $35 which is not the case. Don't waste your time selecting book unless you plan on paying shipping.
Alibris appeared to be the low price provider for some books, but after they changed me for shipping for my order, which was over $50, even though their site states that orders over $35 would receive free shipping. Wouldn’t use them again.

I am pleased with all of my purchases so far. Books have arrived in described condition and I love that I can use PayPal for purchasing.
Looking for alternatives to Amazon and Barnes and Nobles
Date of experience: February 7, 2021
I like how many options are here and all the different places material is sourced from. I would however like to see copyright dates more easily.
I believe this supports independent booksellers and not Amazon

Alibris always has what I'm looking for at a price I'm happy to pay. The "best deal" feature is nice, and the coupons help reduce costs.
I always do.

So far I have gotten my books in a timely manner except one I ordered in Dec. They had to reship as it evidently got lost.
Cost was low

The payment experience is horrible. There is no way to remove my old credit card and every time it is getting charged without clicking on submit.

Site was easy to use
Minimal info needed to process purchase- quick and easy.
Found all 3 titles I desired at low prices. Thanks. Colorado purchaser
Titles desired, great prices, previous ordering.
Date of experience: October 20, 2023
It was quite easy to locate a book I wanted. Search results were broken down between "Used" and "New". Prices were ascending from low to high.
Google search for a site like "Fetchbook" which appears to have disappeared.

I found almost what I wanted, frustrating to click on a page for 2020 version of both of these, then all available copies are 2019 edition.
It's my first choice for online book buying.

I usually do.

My husband sold books with you before he passed away in 2014. I still have so many and wish I knew what to do with them.

I have ordered many, many books from Alibris since being at home due to the Pandemic during this past year and have had very good service.

I had been looking for some trombone music on anything but vinyl and found several CD's on your site. I am thrilled. Bought two to start.
I recommend your site to many people since I work for a large online Christian book seller who sells lots of accompaniments CD’s, gifts, etc but not used products or out of date items. Thank you! Your prices often beat eBay prices as well so why not, eh?

Never had a problem with Alibris, in fact the opposite is true. Always one of the first places I look for a good book to purchase!
Date of experience: July 30, 2021
So far so good.
In the past, I have ordered some things that never arrive so hopefully it is no longer an issue with your company
To avoid buying from Amazon

I always shop Alibis when I want rare or hard-to-find books. I've been shopping with Alibis for more than 25 years and never had a problem.

Your shipping costs for a paper back book at 4$ and something is too much. Probably won't buy with you again for that reason. Thank you.
Had a cheaper used book
