Shipping could be lower between $1.99- to $2.99; which would help selecting to buy now; without hesitation. Thanks-

I have been an occasionally guest for quite five years.

Although I made purchases as Guest; I had been quite a loyal Guest about 5 years, to current time. I think I might continue as Guest for as long as I would be content with the purchases. Thanks.

First purchase with Alibris. Website competently put together that gave confidence in the integrity of the shopping experience.
Not Amazon.

Alibris nearly always has what I need at reasonable prices - about half of what other "brands" are charging.
Date of experience: December 2, 2022
Easy to order - nearly always find exactly what I want/need.

You all need to update your account information page: billing address... it finally worked after all this time.

After putting selection in cart, forgot pass word. Got it reset. Cart content disappeared. Had to pick another.
Bought books here before

The selection is phenomenal (better than Amazon!) and I love the feature that helps me save on shipping.
I needed a book for my boyfriend, and added some others to the cart while I was at it!

Phenomenal resource to find books cheaply and support small booksellers!
Date of experience: May 31, 2023
SO happy to have found this site! What an amazing way to locate books I've been wanting to buy for months, but at a reasonable price.
It's so great to avoid supporting Amazon, but also get good prices. I'm so happy to be supporting independent booksellers rather than big business!

It was easy to navigate the site and pick out my choice of book titles. Check-out was straightforward.
I enjoy finding out of print books at a good price.

I was able to find some of the books I was looking for and ordered them from the same seller.
Because I was able to find some hard to find books that weren’t available elsewhere.

Textbooks become much more affordable--I've used this site for years to purchase books for school or leisure reading
Low prices on textbooks

IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU WEED EDITIONS I DIDN'T ASK FOR, AND JUST INCLUDE THE ONES I'M SEARCHING FOR. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO WEED THEM MYSELF WITH SO LITTLE INFO AVAILABLE ON THE SITE.
Date of experience: June 24, 2022
I've only placed the order—I haven't received the book yet. But so far it's been easy and convenient.
I’ve bought books from Alibris in the past.
Date of experience: August 24, 2023
Like the optimized cart, wish there was a slightly bigger shipping discount for buying from the same seller.
I wanted to Not support Amazon.
Date of experience: November 28, 2022
Fairly easy, but missing the book condition... to avoid mistake buying acceptable instead of minimum good condition books.
Price and coupon
Date of experience: May 10, 2022
I think you need to update your indicative shipping rates, as they are nowhere near the final shipping.
Looking for a reliable source of books
Date of experience: June 22, 2023
Great Selection, fair prices, and best of all, my money is supporting a smaller company instead of Amazon.
It doesn't try to force ideology down my throat through politically biased "recommendations" on the front/home page. Instead, the recommendations are based on what I have ACTUALLY shopped for or browsed in the past.
Date of experience: November 14, 2021
Once again it's been frustrating with some of the glitches that I find when using the Alibris site...*sigh*
Even though I feel frustrated I still feel a sense of loyalty when choosing a used book store.

Always a pleasure! Thanks again ~
Great stuff!

Purchased a book for a class I plan to take in the future. The quality of the book matched the description. It was a good experience.
It has a large inventory of used books, and had the edition of the book that I wanted. It is also a great produsct.

Some pages seemed to reload instead of moving smoothly to the next step, but overall a good experience.
Had the book I wanted at a great price.

They should disclose the estimate shipping time before placing order. 3-13 days is a poor turn around time.

Easy to find the items I want. Site clear and simple to navigate. Very good experiences with alibris.
