I have always been satisfied with transactions with Alibris. I find it easy to order online and shopping time is reasonable.
I choose Alibris first when searching for books. I have ordered through this company for years with satisfaction

$5 off for subscribing is deceiving, because it does not say for orders $50 or more until it reaches your inbox.

Easy to find lots of copies of the books I want. Would love to see better summaries/ratings and easier-to-find publication dates.
Trying to avoid Amazon.

The site search is highly functional. Would really like to have the year of the books publication easily visible near the title so I don't have to flip back and forth to Amazon for that information. That information is really important to identifying history books that meet our needs.
Because I'm trying to avoid giving any more money to Amazon.

Easy to search and compare prices. Wish I could more easily get book reviews.
It's cheap, and it's not Amazon.

I am delighted that you found the rare and out of print book that I have been searching for! Many thanks!
It was recommended to me by an independent book seller.
Date of experience: June 20, 2022
For the most part, pretty good. Prices are among the best. Some sellers chose not to get back to me, however.
It had the book I needed at the right price.

Love this site! So many titles(movies) that just cannot be found elsewhere, or can't be found without cost of an arm!
Got movies I’ve looked elsewhere forever and could not find!

I need to clear the addresses of mailing books that appear on my account. How do I delete multiple shipping addresses?
Inexpensive

Looking for out of print books
Date of experience: May 19, 2021
I signed up for the $5 off coupon at the beginning of the session and expected to use it! What happened?
Anything but Amazon.
I do believe Alibris is headquartered in Emeryville and make the assumption that some profit goes back to my East Bay Community. Is that correct?

Everything's there that I want to look at, easy to go from one book to another great prices fast check out.
I chose alibris because of the price of the book
Date of experience: January 20, 2023
Alibris has the books I'm looking for. Often at a better price, but just having the books available, is really great.
Quick, easy, found my book. Nothing quite like it.
Date of experience: August 4, 2022
Any book I need, mailed to my house. Can't beat it.
Relationship, quick, easy, more than the library or a new book store.

Great website where I found everything I was looking for at reasonable prices. The only drawback is the high shipping costs.
Looking for old books that are out of print and difficult to find at reasonable prices.
Date of experience: December 30, 2022
Finding options was easy and updating my payment method was the simplest I have ever encountered. Great books at great prices.
Great source for used books. I like a great deal!
Date of experience: January 23, 2023
Seller's clear information about book condition, plus seller rating, plus price, made it easy to decide which used copy to buy.
Best options today.
Date of experience: January 25, 2023
First of all, you had the titles I wanted! And the checkout was easy, hopefully the shipping will come through timely.
Couldn't find what I needed on another site but Alibris popped up having one of my titles.
Date of experience: December 8, 2021
So far, so good. Shipping costs a little on the high side though! Won't really know until I get the book.
As a big fan of Ruth Rendell, I've read all her books over the years. Or so I thought anyway. I was pleasantly surprised to find one that I have not come across before and another one that I'm not sure about. This made my day because Rendell has been deceased since 2015 and I very much used to look forward to her new books coming out.

Very satisfied. Dont shop often but always get the books in good shape and in a good delivery time. Thank you
Missing some of the series books and found them here
Date of experience: March 24, 2022
I usually find the books I'm looking for on Alibris at a good price with fair shipping price and timely shipping.
If something is out of print, I go to you to fins it. And, I usually do.

You lost two orders I was making. I buy books on Abe rather than Alibris for that reason. You are hopeless.

If other book stores are selling the same book more expensively, you can bet Alibris.com has that book at discount prices.
As I expressed above Alibris.com will sell the same book at a discount price. Thank you Alibris.com!

Alibris is the Best! It's been my pleasure! Thank you, Alibris.
I thought I would use the $15 coupon send to my email.
Date of experience: February 4, 2022
Search results consistent w/ search term and item condition and price easy to locate for two items I am interested in
Items I wanted were costlier at brick & mortar retailers and not much to choose from

It's my go to place for buying book.
