I had to enter my email address about 5 times. This site doesn't seem to work with my saved info that automatically enters name, address, etc.
Good reputation and good prices

Good selection and easy checkout process. Wish there was a way to see the inside of the book, at least a page or two, to get a feel for it.
My daughter specifically gave me links to books she found on Alibris.

Alibris is always an excellent source for books of all kinds. I have especially found them useful for more obscure titles (which I often look for)
To see if I could get my books for less than going to the bookstore. (And, I did!)

Easy to find the items I was looking for-although finding the deck of cards too a little more searching but I was happy they showed up!
Because I hope it's an independent website.

New to your company but wanted to give it a try. I ordered 4 books from different sellers so will see how it goes.

I got the parcel within the estimated time and the book is in excellent condition, even though it is used.
I'll buy from this shop again!

I dont agree with the price to ship one or more paperback books that dont weigh hardly anything. Shipping cost more than the entire book order!
Date of experience: February 15, 2023
Good search process but could not go back to order another book once I got to check out page. Had to reopen application in another window
Good previous experience

The website is easy to understand snd use. The selection of books is great.
Date of experience: December 3, 2021
Website is user friendly. Detailed description of the selected items is provided. Reasonable shipping fee.
This was the lowest price I found on the internet for this item.

No $5.00 coupon applied to order. Issue me a credit if you do not give me the $5.00 you promised on your web-site or you'll never hear from me again.

Shipping was suppose to be free with an over $100 order. I had to pay shipping on 2 items and one was a $1.87. Seems misleading.
Looking for inexpensive books, but shipping changed that. Not sure about using going forward.

I buy several used books and my first stop is always alibris.com. Never had any issues and the book conditions is always as described or better.
I have bought several books here and always have a great shopping experience.

Once established with Alibris, purchasing books is simple, books are good quality and fairly priced.
Past experience told me that they are very likely to have what I'm looking for.

I am a poor user of technology; I wish it were easier. I am worried that the correct editions will be sent.
It allowed me to choose books by number.

Love this website, id love to suggest a 'its a gift' option so the price could be hidden or not shown upon arrival. Really love ya'lls set up though!
I've had great experiences before. I like the prices and the used or new options and getting to support smaller book shops instead of just having the option online from bigger retailers. Really love that i don't have to use amazon!
Date of experience: January 4, 2024
This particular copy did not come up under the author's name. I needed to type in the exact title to find any copies of the edition I wanted.
I can usually find a copy of an out of print book that I want.
Date of experience: February 17, 2024
Quick and easy. Same price as as sold through amazon, but a portion doesn't go to Amazon so Bezos can avoid paying taxes.
Same price for rare title as Amazon, but I'm not funneling money to Jeff Bezos.

Alibris is always the best for book purchases! Thank Paul Klingenstein Harvard class of 1976 or so for investing in it! Tell him I said hi!

Good selection. Searching is easy. I found what I sought. And that's all folks.
AbeBooks didn’t have the book I sought.

IT IS ALWAYS GLITCHY AT CHECKOUT. I HAVE TAKEN STEPS BEFORE INCLUDING TODAY TO UPDATE MY ADDRESS AND CREDIT CARD AND THE SYSTEM DOESNT SAVE CORRECTLY.

Great prices! Thanx, ellensue
P.S. Have you eliminated anti-semitic books that are printed in foreign languages so the buys don't know what they are?
Have used it before with good results.
