Ever since a smart friend recommended Alibris I've been ordering books almost exclusively through your website. I love it.
In my opinion it's the best online website with used books

Because I don't care if the book I want to read is used or new. I'd rather not spend a ton of money on a book when I don't have to.

I've bought books from ALIBRIS for a number of years. Not a lot, but often check ALIBRIS, looking for a title.

Shipping costs are getting high. I don't need these that quick. Go to media mail option PLEASE.
Amazon sucks. I would use Alibris all the time but your shipping costs are getting explosively high. $5 per book is outrageous. And even when I try to group them within the same shipper there's no discount. This reminds me of the rich being able to get books and the poor not having access to them in jolly old Europe. Look how that turned out. I'm giving you an 8 for recommendation to a friend just for 1 book but not as a regular occurance anymore. Got to go to goodwill or google and start shopping around. Sorry. Fix the option for media mail and bring shipping down to $3 a book plus discount on multi purchase same seller. Or this will be Amazon's Prime revenge again. They blew out indie book sellers with cheap books when they started, indie's went out of business, inventories went into the dumpster or goodwill if they could take them and turn them, now I'm getting close to a price point where shipping = Uber driver. I'd rather have an option for a week out and lots less money. Start pressing your vendors.

Disappointing when one orders a book, the order goes through, and then one receives notice that a book was cancelled by a seller. Do they not track their own inventory?
Normally very reliable and good selection.

This is my 3rd order for a total of 6 books. I have received 5 to date and am very pleased with books condition and delivery. Thanks
Date of experience: March 7, 2021
I have had two consecutive orders of the same book canceled. I almost never shop on here, and that is far too high a percentage of cancellations.
I was looking for an alternative to Amazon.
