Customer service was quick to provide tracking information after my request, but this could have been provided automatically.
Got worried about my shipment, so I requested tracking information for the shipment.
I received the information promptly, but it could have been provided without requesting it.
Helps me find the books I want, and is not linked to Amazon.

The cover of the book I wanted was different on the main page than on the checkout page. The main page had the old cover which is the one I wanted.

Alibris has books that can not be found in other places. Their sellers take great card in their shipping of products and I have yet to receive an item that had not been described accurately. I also have found Alibris to be cheaper than some other locations. Way to go Alibris.
I knew that these would be hard to find items

Because Alibris doesn't accept Apple Pay the transaction security is not as secure as it could be.
First order, test of usability and selection.
Looking for an alternate source of books etc from Amazon
First fail also, requirement for additional services (with no opt out) allowing my feedback to be published on public websites with no guarantee of anonymity.
