As a returning customer, the purchase was fast and easy. I really like giving a pre-read book a new career. Feels correct.
Because you folks rock.

Love alibris. Last year I gave copies of "crap taxidermy" purchased from you, to many horrified friends. Admittedly, the shipping charges do make me gasp sometimes, but hey, what a great company. Thank you.

I find the site itself annoying... not accepting legit credit card numbers, like that.
Because no title is too wacky for me, and thankfully, for you.

The Web site threw me out twice, but remembered my order when I logged back in. Good software.
I can usually find the book that I need.

The transition to Book Fetch needs work. The system already has the title, author, etc. and could auto-fill.

Two things: First, I selected items and then was asked to log in -- when I did, the items in my cart disappeared and I had to find and select them again. A time-waster. Second, for an order over $50.00 all book orders should qualify for free shipping, not a complex logic for just a few. Both of these can be improved in the ordering software.
My go-to for finding used and out of print history books.

Had to re-order from another distributor after first order was canceled.
Robust availability from the network of suppliers.

Alibris is my go-to source for books.

Shopped online. Price.
Date of experience: June 21, 2024
Each step was quick, simple...best of all you actually had several copies in good
Condition.
I looked at Amazon, price was high - then BetterWorld Books, they didn't have it.
I generally look at these resources when in search of a book. You guys have several copies, reasonably priced.
Date of experience: June 21, 2024
Finding the books was fine/easy - good info, helpful details, nice selection
What was extremely frustrating was the checking out process. It took forever and I came very to giving up
I collect the American Presidents series. Your options are many and your prices are usually well below Amazon.

Wow! Alibris has EVERYTHING! Music and movies I spent years trying to find. Wonderful! Great prices and fast shipping.
I found an old and rare memory here. I knew you would have it!

Easy enough. There is sticker shock at checkout for the huge shipping total.
Date of experience: March 28, 2023
I kept trying to change address under billing but would not let me change it. Both the shipping and billing address should say Angela Staub, 50 Academy Street, #216, McSherrystown, PA *******

Cost of postage could be lower. But best deals still on your site. Thanks much.

Alibris is a super place for books and movies. I wish shipping was less costly but still a good deal.

Notation of "YRE" for Young Readers Edition didn't show up until order summary. ALSO I had forgotten my password and when I changed it all 7 items in my cart had vanished. VERY frustrating.
Previous experience.

Why isn't publication date given on listing? Why can't I ask Seller a question before completing order?
