The quality of my books has been great. Also, I've found children's books here that I haven't been able to find elsewhere.

Prefer working with used book sellers and NOT Amazon!

The price of the books are so low I don't mind paying extra for shipping. It all works out in the end.
Came up on search engine

Your website is not that easy to use. If I didn't really want this book I would have gone to another source.
Because Amazon was the only other source.

Because I had one omission on my order, I had to begin again. Why not simply have me insert the missed data?
Respected vendor and low price.

Alibris program was helpful in replacing my forgotten password. The price for the used Very Good condition book I ordered was fantastic!
Email from Alibris. Compared prices for this used book with Amazon, and Alibris was a LOT better.

Found the books I was looking for - but had to keep several tabs open so the cart would stop resetting to zero
Had all of the booksI was looking for in one location

Found what I was looking for. Created a new account. Somewhere in the process I lost my $5 bonus for signing up.
Thankful someone told me that, unlike Abebooks.com, you are not an Amazon clone.

Great--but it was confusing that the deduction for Super Value Shipping does not appear until the last step of checkout payment.
Cheaper than Amazon; not yet a giant, almost-monopoly like Amazon. I hope Amazon does not own Alibris.

Loved the new feature (at least to me) that looked for a similar book at a lower cost before placing my order.
I have used it in the past and had great success in getting what I am looking for. I really like the detail in the descriptions and that a picture of the book is usually included, especially if I am looking to replace a book in a series.

I love to see pictures of the actual books I am ordering. I recommend your site to all my book-loving friends.
From past experience, I can usually find what I am looking for and the descriptions are super helpful.

Super easy to use and your sellers are good about posting photos or answering inquiries about a specific book.
I have been pleased with my past experiences.

First order with Alibris, smooth and easy. Now we will see how the rest of the transaction proceeds.
So far so good,
Best price by far and shipping is reasonable.

I had a little difficulty checking out, but I eventually was able to check out and place my order.

For their low priced and high quality books that are sometimes hard to find elsewhere

Quick and easy to find the titles I was looking to purchase. Lots of ones to chose from within each title, too.
Ease of use and it's not Amazon.

Good service, the site was easy to navigate and make my purchase. The site could use a bit of more 'flare' however.
Best price and availability for the purchase I made.
Date of experience: March 24, 2022
My shopping experience was excellent. I found a book I've been looking for, at a reasonable price. Checkout was quick and easy.
An Alibris seller offered a book I've wanted for some time, in like-new condition, at a fair price. I'm glad to have an online book-buying alternative to Amazon.

Buying a book has never been easier. Alibris offered the best price on a used book. I am very pleased so far.
Date of experience: February 1, 2022
Kept taking me back to my credit card info and address
Plus, I really didn't want email stuff and made me
Had the book
Date of experience: July 14, 2022
The shipping charge is three times the cost of the book. This was not disclosed prior to purchase. Unacceptable on all counts

Good but I wish the discount amount were lower or that I accumulate points for books to be used as a discount.
Quickly found the books I was looking for.
Date of experience: June 2, 2023
Things are easy to find. I really like the Savings display before I checked out so I could get a better deal
Alternative to Amazon

I like to try one or two purchases before I can really speak to the overall performance. Good so far! Thank you.
Date of experience: May 23, 2023
Haven't received my book yet but I did find a lot of the books I was looking for at a reasonable price
Had my book of choice at a reasonable price
I've been wanting to purchase this book but didn't want to pay more than $10 for it with shipping. I got it for $9 perfect fit for my budget
Date of experience: February 24, 2021
I haven't had any problems finding the books I want at a great price. They always come in a timely manner and are in advertised condition.
I always use Alibris to order my used books!
Date of experience: February 5, 2024
This was the best price I found for this book with free shipping. My past experiences with Alibris have always been positive.
Best price.
Date of experience: July 25, 2023
It sucks, for me personally, when the shipping charge costs more than the total of the items I'm ordering. But, oh well.
Good selection and excellent prices,... of the items I wanted.
Date of experience: October 13, 2022
Updating my shipping address and my credit card information was not easy to do. I was charged twice for the same order
