The system made me update my CC billing address three times before it would accept it. That's annoying.
Because I like you and you usually have what I'm looking for.

It took three shots to get the thing to accept the correct billing address. I've just moved, and haven't had time yet to change that with the CC companies. Annoys heck out of me when online forms don't work properly.

I love shopping with you guys. I nearly always find what I want, even when it's some weird nerdy thing that's been out of print forever.

The Free Shipping with alibris logo is a little misleading right up until the very last checkout page.
Better than Amazon

Always good. Just wish shipping was not so expensive. Spent more on shipping than my total book order.

When choosing free shipping the statement does not update; have to 'trust' or email customer service to clarify.

Fairly smooth. Loved the way shopping is arranged, pick the title, drill in to see options. Very easy.
Looking for a good value on a couple of titles. One out of print and fairly expensive.

Ali rid borders a rare confluence of literary genres in an ever diminishing island of out-of- circulation books.
Because it is seldom equaled, never excelled.

I like simplicity of the website. Setting up a new account and checkout was straight forward and easy.
Because they had one of the used books I was looking for at a very low price compared to Amazon
