Please try to make certain all my items actually arrive this time. Since I apparently have no recourse to resolve items which do not.
I'm wondering myself.

I have never had a problem buying from Alibris. Everything is in the condition I expect, things ship when it sellers say they'll ship.
I prefer buying used books if possible. These are good quality for the price.

Super quick and easy to use, and very affordable text books. Just ordered so hopefully the book arrives on time and in good condition.

I think your shipping rates for a book and a DVD are out of line. Could you please send at media or book Rate?
An online search found the DVD that I was hoping to purchase and send to my sister-in-law who loves chickens.

There was no place to put my coupon. So I've had to check out twice now to without getting the advertised discount. Not cool.
You had the books I was looking for.

I entered a password but I can't tell whether an account was created for me; I expected confirmation. Second attempt had the same (non)-result..
Lowest price for what I wanted.

Great descriptions on used books, great prices as well. New books also priced nicely in comparison to places like B & N and Walmart.

First time ordering. Was a little surprised at the extra charges of shipping ($3.99 per book) and tax at the end, unlike Amazon Prime.
Friend referral. Child starting high school in private school this Fall. Looking for discounted books.

Very easy to look up books, see a selection of what is available and by price and shipping fees. Easy checkout. Will use again
Price of book that I was wanting. Even cheaper then Amazon.

I have always found the book(s) that I am looking for and your website is very easy to navigate from searching to checking out
It is a premier bookseller

It could not get much easier. Very straight forward process. A top flight operation for sure.
Because if you do not have it, it does not exist.

I have been so pleased with the savings and the promptness of deliveries. I am glad that a dear friend told me about Alibris!
Lower prices than I can find in other prices.

Getting the "promo" discount is confusing. I gave up on trying to get the "free" shipping or "$4" promo discount "Blossom".: where was it?
Ordered from it before. I don’t like buying from Amazon.

I cannot find these 3 books anywhere else and I work in a book store and have Amazon prime so this was really nice
The only place I could find these 3 books

Search is a strange experience because algorithms are stupid, relying on words instead of meanings. AI, in other words, is never going to happen.
Long happy history

Always my first choice.

This is a very easy site to search, and I almost always find what I want. Very pleased with the fast shipping as well.
I discovered Alibris years ago, and I have ordered many times over the years.

It's easy enough and you beat the Amazon price by a bit. I just hope it isn't a long wait. Amazon is super quick.
I am trying to not give my business to Amazon and you had the book I wanted.

It was a bit challenging figuring out at what point in the order I could upgrade the shipping. Otherwise the purchase went very smoothly!
Found the book I was looking for
Date of experience: August 29, 2022
Variety of choices and good quality. Prices seem reasonable. First time using this site but it is a simple and easy to navigate site.
I looked at other sites selling the same item. I just simply settled on Alibris by chance with no real reason. Worked it that the item I was looking for was priced the same as the other sites.

Shipping costs are out of this world! You do carry a larger variety of merchandise than other discount books online. Thank you for that.
Had all I was looking for

Fun, easy
Wish shipping were not so much

I was delighted to find the updated payment so easily accessed. Also, I've always found Alibris to be an excellent book source. Thanks, Alibris!
Because it serves me book needs well.

Alibris is reliable. Have used Alibris for years.
Date of experience: June 19, 2023
Ordering my book was easy and quick. Was easier than when I ordered in previous years.
I chose Alibris because I saw that it had books that I wanted at prices that were very affordable.
Date of experience: May 17, 2022
Alibris processed my order quickly and efficiently. I've purchased several books from Alibris. It's always been a good experience.
Familiarity.

Just received my last order (it was my first with your firm) and the used books were great. Hope this order is as good..
Because last order was very good and prices were reasonable. But shipping was a bit high. Getting close to where I would just buy the books new at local vendor.
Date of experience: January 29, 2023
Ok but I am getting 3 books from same vendor and paying 3 shipping charges. I would think that is much higher than if the 3 were sent together.
Good price.
Date of experience: January 14, 2023
Easy to search for what I needed, fast checkout process. Have bought from you for years and will continue to do so! Thanks much.
