I love the fact that I can buy books as a guest and don't need a password to remember or in my case forget
You had the books

We are a book reading family. We love it when we get our books for GREAT prices. We'll definitely be shopping at Alibris again!
I saw it listed as an option while shopping for college textbooks.

I typically avoid purchasing books here at Alibris anymore as well as Amazon, because you charge $4.49 for shipping, and other sellers charge $3.99
You had the book in the best condition for the price.

I have always loved Alibris and had great service. I'm really sad that you sold out to Amazon!
I've gotten great service from you for many years.

Quite good! My only suggestion would be to make it a bit easier to switch back to viewing your cart from the checkout window.
My previous order, though slow, was good. Many prices are good, except for the shipping being calculated on each and every item.

My previous order somehow wound up going to an older address. :/ I just decided to order the novel again. Elf Defense is worth it.
You have the books I love, at prices I can afford. :)

I love finding all of my old book friends through Alibris! Thank you. :)
I trusted them to connect me with a much-cherished, missing book.

The website works well but everything really is dependent on the sellers themselves, so we'll have to see how my purchases actually work out

Easy to find books and a wide selection but having used media mail a lot I think your shipping prices are a bit high

I really enjoy the deals from this site, but I wish they didn't request info for email as frequently, I don't like spam mail.
They always have the best deals and the most options available!

Found the textbook I needed quickly and at the most reasonable price. I will gladly give additional positive feedback when it arrives. Thank you!
Competitive pricing, low shipping costs, and an easy website to navigate.

Because I love this site!

I love this site. Wide selection and always shipped on time. Packages match their description. I will continue to buy from this site
I thought you would have what I was looking for and you did!

Thanks. Found the book elsewhere but it was not the 1945 1st edition and had been badly printed. Hope this one is readable. THANKS.
The book was coming from within the USA

Super easy. Was able to see how many pages book is- so I know I don't want to print it as a pdf instead
Date of experience: October 20, 2021
Seems I always find the book I'm looking for and can decide which type/condition/price is right for me. Thanks or all that and more.
My go-to used and new online book store

Disappointed that the adverts I receive have catches in order to get the free shipping, or $$-off. Still, I use you instead of Amazon.
You are not Amazon and you offered a free shipping coupon (but this was a fake because there were catches to it).

I was so excited about getting my books I forgot to put in the code word soda. Is it too late to do that?
I have ordered from you guys recently and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Confused when trying to negotiate your web site. Might have a better time of it nest time. Thought the shipping was a little exorbitant.
Bought here before.

It's a little too early to tell... I think it would be best if you sent out a survey after I receive my book.
Date of experience: February 20, 2021
You are a bit redundant on requests for information. Take lessons from eBay -- Please. I almost stopped order as you asked for unnecessary "stuff".
Less expensive.

I ordered and paid for a copy of the book that turned out (3 days later) to be unavailable; a strange and disappointing experience.
Date of experience: June 27, 2023
Very nice! I managed to pick up the super-rare Myers Openings Bulletin, Volume 1, #2 and #4, as well as the extremely rare index.
Needed to finish purchasing.
Date of experience: April 1, 2021
I found the format easy to follow and managed to order a number of copies of 3 titles in less time than I'd expected.
Because you had titles that I couldn't find in multiple copies elsewhere.

Alibris has the textbook that I am looking for almost all of the time. The prices are reasonable and they have a huge selection.
I was lookin for a specific textbook.

Ordering was easy, and prices look reasonable. Yet to receive book to see if arrives w/in promised 14 days and condition is as described.
Has the title I wanted, and had lowest price.
Date of experience: September 2, 2023
I forgot about Alibris as a go to source for my library additions. Even when paying for shipping, I saved over half from Amazon.
Gave it a try because I was reminded by an email from Alibris.
