This is my second purchase. I was more than satisfied with the first book I bought. It was in excellent condition.
Did a Google search for a book of interest. This is how I located Alibris. I prefer to buy used books. Why let a good thing go to waste.

My experience finding and ordering is just fine but have difficulty seeing where and how to apply coupon and free shipping
I got an email saying I had a $20 coupon expiring at midnight. Didn't use it because I couldn't see where and how to do it

Because of past satisfaction

This was quick and easy. I like seeing where the sellers are so I can try to minimize the shipping distance.
Excellent selection of used books.

This isn't the most sophisticated website, but it works well enough.
I like that this is a low-key site, offering used books instead of everything needing to be new. And... it's not Amazon. That's a big reason for being here. I hope my credit card information is very secure - that's important to me. Thanks.

I always come here before resorting to Behemoth A, whom I do not like. The selection isn't as big, but I check here first, if only because it's not that other company. I haven't checked to see that Alibris actually treats it's sellers any better - I hope they do. The site is pretty easy to navigate and ordering is a breeze, once I find a book or a dvd.

As I read more I find buying used books a pleasure. The condition of the book is always acceptable to great.
Every book I have searched I have found here. I have saved considerable money to read books I could not afford.

Easy to navigate, and I like seeing the location of each bookshop, so I can coordinate purchases and save on shipping.
I want to support independent booksellers and I hate Amazon.
Date of experience: November 21, 2021
I found everything I was looking for--including hard-to-find items. I can always count on alibris for rare and delicious books!
I'm so happy to have a non-Amazon option that allows me to support independent booksellers!

Thank you for having what I was looking for at a great price. The search was easy, checkout fast and courteous.
Best price.

Shipping costs are outrageous. I ship books all over the country and the prices are so inflated as to be gouging.
Need a book for a bible study

My shopping experience today was wonderful! I found exactly what I was looking for at a 'more than' reasonable price! Brava!
I love shopping on the Alibris Book site for all or most of book-finding needs! I am usually pleasantly pleased at being able to successfully locate the books I want at such an incredible price! Thank you for always being a source I can depend on.

Looking for a textbook.

I love your selection. Would love to see you get older light novels in because no one wants to carry them.
Would rather shop with you than amazon.

I like shopping somewhere that's not Amazon.

Alibris makes purchases smooth, with no nonsense.
Date of experience: May 1, 2023
Books were very affordable. It would be good if the shipping from one vendor could be adjusted when buying 6 books.
Prefer to not only buy from Amazon.
Date of experience: December 23, 2021
I easily found the books I was looking for at a reasonable price, purchased and was finished in very little time.
The books I was looking for came up in my search through Google for Alibris. I used Alibris homeschooling my children years ago, and I know this platform is reliable and honest.
Date of experience: March 1, 2021
I just wish the coupons were for any order, then we would order more books and no limit for on spending.
Because I like their style of ordering, the coupons could be better, I am a big fan with big orders.
Date of experience: February 27, 2021
The Alibris website is easy to use, the prices are great, and I've never had a bad experience with a seller.
My wife bought a novel at a library book sale that turned out to be third in a series. I came to Alibris to find the other two, and found them together in one volume.
Date of experience: May 1, 2023
It was good and easy for most part. However it can be difficult looking for similar interests with decent shipping prices.
About 80% of time I tend to shop on alibris. The other 20% is because I need the book right now and couldn't wait for a 4-7 day period.
Date of experience: November 10, 2022
This site is very resourceful and easy access to any book imagined. Thank you.
Those is still one of the best bookstores in the area even if it's online.

Great! Found my nice book, all different formats, conditions and prices. Picked the one I wanted from the seller I liked.
You carried the book I wanted, which I believe is out of print, at the cost point I liked.

Nice and quick and not expensive except for the postage, but that is our fate, ordering books from Australia from overseas.
