I trust alibris because they have faithful and hard working for years. I always try to go to them first, before other vendors. Thanks again for all of your hard work.

So far, so good. Your site had this book for me when others did not... as long as it shows up you've got a new customer

It's very easy to find and pay for the books I need, at such a reasonable price too! I will definitely use alibris in the future!
Alibris had the book I was looking for at the cheapest price.

I had the same books picked out on Amazon for $140! I came here and saved $50! Thank you for helping this poor starving college student!
My husband a professor, recommended it. What a great recommendation!

This is the only online book source I have ever used or will use. I have never experienced any problems with my orders over many years.

I got automatically signed up for emails. The option should be left blank for me to check rather than manipulate me into giving you my email.

The book's price jumped about $5 between selection and paying. If that was to pay a shipping fee, it would have been good to state that.
I have had good experiences with Alibris in the past. This was a distinct exception!

I am buying 4 books from one seller and are paying full shipping charges, seems to me the shipping should be consolidated and some reduction made.
Fell for free shipping, failed to read the small print.

Unfortunately the Bible was dirty on the inside and a few ripped pages. For the price I wasn't expecting that.

Found books that I couldn't find any where else. Having a choice of prices and editions are a bonus.
Selection, price.

Easy to navigate listings. Good descriptions of condition of book.
Used before

I ordered two books from two different suppliers. One arrived within the timeframe specified, the other was quite late.
Was told to wait and, if I remember correctly (do not have the time to go through emails) that it was a matter between me and the tardy bookseller (and I did not have the time to seek him/her out and write). When I order something and am given the inclusive dates during which I can expect the article (in this case, a paperback book) I expect it to arrive within the time span stated (in spite of the USPS, which may account for the extended dates for shipment)
Had what I wanted + price with coupon
Date of experience: April 22, 2024
I was told I would have a $2 off Festive code/coupon but there was no where to enter it…I went ahead because I wanted the books but won't use your site again.
Coupon code that I didn’t get in the end!

I really apprecaited the prompt to consolidate the shipping to save not only (a smidge of) money, but also (a lot of) carbon/transportation/packaging! THANK YOU!
I love Alibris. Down with Amazon! Great selection, good prices, and solid service. Thanks.
