It's annoying to have to enter my credit card every time I go into and out of my shopping cart, especially as I am still logged in
It's not amazon

I was able to find the books I was looking for in good condition for a good price. Shipping was fast. I will definitely shop Alibris again.
It came up using a search engine

I like Alibris very much as an alternative to ebay. However, I am sorry to see the standard shipping rate on this site increase to 4.50 US.
You had the lowest price on an item I wanted.

My first time ordering from this website and it was super easy. Can't wait to get my book. I'd order from here again. Might become my favorite

Great prices on books, but the shipping costs are high and the coupons offered can't be applied to the total cost they are a waste as well.
Got a coupon that didn't matter

Love the fact that each retailer has their own reviews. That coupled with the rating of the item makes Alibris my go to source for used books!

I cannot remember passwords to save my life. When I do, if I fat finger, I get locked out.Thanks for letting me sign in as a guest.
You're easy to use.

The State populates with my state's name written out and your interface wants it in a two letter code. Had to go back and redo the whole thing because state wasn't recognized. Just take it the way it populates.
Been here before. Easy to buy. Don't have to remember logins, passwords, passcodes.

Very easy shopping experience. I love the concept of saving paper and paying a rental fee of 7 bucks instead of buying the book for 28 dollars.
Shopping for a book and found it too expensive. Learned there were more options available.

Alibris is my favorite place to get good books at a cheap price, I recommend it to anyone who likes to read. Great source for history books.

I can always find the books I want; delivery is always reasonable. Your website is easy to use! There has never been a problem with an order.
I found 2 books my husband wanted at reasonable prices and new! He only wants hardbacks and you always have them.

One of few that had this book!

Not 100% happy because I applied for coupon by giving you my email address, but then I never received a coupon number to use on my order
Date of experience: February 2, 2021
I would have liked to have the option (and pay for) an overnight or near overnight delivery. Or at least a shipping date that spanned 6 days;

Slow page loading, as if it was confused. Also banner said coupon available, but at checkout said it was expired. I am a longtime customer. Not Good!

Alibris is always excellent. The one thing it could do to improve would be to rank the books in order of total cost i.e. Cost with shipping.
I have loved it ever since I first found it as they always find what I want be it ne'er so obscure. Before I found alibris I would use a book search company who might find something within a year or two. I also like that it immediately gives the cost in my currency. And that unlike Abe books you don't have daft shipping costs e.g. US$120 where I would object that I want the book, not the ship it came in.

Excruciating. I can't count the # of times I had to enter my credit card info. I was just about to look elsewhere. Tried 3 different days.
Found a book I wanted.

It was easy to find what I was looking for and I liked that it's listed lowest on up with shipping details.
They have great coverage.

I love how easy it is to search for books and how many criteria are available for filtering (quality, binding, edition, etc).
I always choose Alibris! You've been my reliable book supplier for many years now. I start here first and look elsewhere if I can't find what I'm looking for, which almost never happens.

Got onto the site quickly, was glad that your site recognized my account and password, ordered the book in a few minutes!
Had looked up the book title and saw it was available for a good price from Alibris. Also remembered good experience shopping from Alibris before.
