Placing this order has been difficult. The system would not accept my address change at first, but charged my order to my card several times. I am quite annoyed, especially since my previous experiences with alibris have been so good.

Your order process is excellent and shipping has always been on time. If something is rated as very good it is.
Price and condition of my purchase was better than elsewhere.

The best place to buy books; I have been doing business with Alibris for many years and have never been disappointed.
I knew I could get the books I was seeking and have them delivered to my friend for whom I made the purchase.

The shopping experience went smoothly or it was easy and another way of saying it was user-friendly. Thank you very much.
Obviously, the cost was very attractive, but most importantly Alibris is a highly respected and trustworthy company. I am honored to do business with you. Thank you.

You always have the book I want, even when other sites don't have it. And your prices are the best, too.

I appreciate the recommended savings on shipping when a book can be purchased from various book stores at the same price.
I need to find a variety of hard to find books at a discount.

Love your site, to locate and purchase the printed media to satiate my literary hunger. (smile... it's supposed to be corny)

Great website. However, the shipping cost to Indonesia is a little expensive. If it can be lowered, it would be perfect.
The book was the best I could find.

Ordered book you cancel the order then tell me to reorder and pay again.
Will not be shopping with you again.

Easy to find what I'm searching for. Only wish I knew shipping was going to cost so much while I ordered.
Date of experience: January 23, 2022
Web is a little funky and it keeps asking for credit card number when I've already added it and sec code.
Because I ordered this book from Second Site and they told me it shipped from their shipping partner but when it wasn't at USPS, I emailed them and they said "oh we did not have that book in stock" so your order was cancelled. They never stated this and wasted 4 days of my time. Now they must refund the amount I paid.

Good search functions; clear display of choices; some marvelous prices; swift delivery (or, at least, quite as swift as I need).
Previous good experience.

Easier on my wallet and my ethics than Amazon or Barnes and Noble

I had trouble with updating my credit card with billing and shipping address changes, but overall I will always come back.
I send books to prisoners on death row in Texas. I cannot afford to buy them brand new.
