I am frustrated that your coupon offers are so restrictive that I have never been able to take advantage of the supposed discounts.
I foolishly thought I might be able to use a coupon

Price and availability

Quick and easy, though I didn't find any options to change my shipping method - I would have liked to choose a priority option.
They had the book I was looking for in the condition I wanted.

Quick and easy to find what I'm looking for used, get a helpful description of condition, and place order. Can't ask for better.
Book is a bit obscure and you had it. Price was good. Easy order process. You accept PayPal.

Fine, easy to shop and BTW thanks for reminding me that I didn't finish ordering. I was interrupted and forgot all about it.
Price was lowered and the book was available

Depending on the sellers they can be a little slow on shipping, but I have never had a problem not receiving my orders.
Great reasonable prices on used books

The listing stated this book would be shipped for free. But there was a shipping fee added. Disappointed. But placing the order anyway.

Found the book I was looking for and at a great price! Very easy placing the order and securely checking out. Thank you!
I chose Alibris because it showed up on the google search engine and had what I was looking for at a great price.

It was pretty easy to search around. I really hope the books are like the description. I have not ordered from here before.
A Barnes and Noble employee referred me. I’m looking for a specific author.

Alibris is a user-friendly site. I have ordered many books, for myself and as gifts, and have always been satisfied with the results.

I prefer it to Amazon.

Shipping rates are very expensive. More than cost of my actual product. Not knowing shipping costs until order is almost done is frustrating
Best i've found for online used CD's and LPs,
Date of experience: February 2, 2022
Good -- would be better if there was a better discount in shipping from a single vendor.
Used CDs. Not many options out there
Date of experience: March 15, 2021
I wish it were easier to see if the books one is ordering are available from the same seller, to lower shipping costs.
Read about author, wanted to read his books, knew they were rather vintage so looked to Alibris first!

Good selection. We'll see how quickly it ships and what condition the book is in. No reason to think it won't go well.

A friend told me about Alibris when I was on Amazon looking for these books. I will be a customer in the future!
Date of experience: August 10, 2022
The titles I was looking for were available. The payment process was smooth. Over all, a very easy website to navigate. Thank you!
When searching for titles as used books, Alibris appeared. I have used this site previously and trust it.
Date of experience: July 16, 2022
Site is easy to use and has multiple options to search and save. It would be 5-star if shipping costs were more prominent.

My Past history buyng
Date of experience: July 4, 2023
Some books at Alibris do not have a summary stating what they are about. I had to go to amazon to find what this book was about.
Because I like to support alternatives to amazon so that market competition will remain.

Thank you for your service! Ordering is easy, and I love being able to get good books, in good condition, in this way!
Because I've done it in the past, and been satisfied.
