For the most part shopping with Alibris is easy. I only wish there were photos of the books for sale.

I read free shipping for orders over thirty five dollars, however, after I applied the code only $4.00 was subtracted and my shipping was $11.00.
I've been shopping with Alibris for years so I always check here first.

Professional, excellent value, excellent quality, and timely with accurate reviews. I have ordered dozens of books over several years and have not had one problem.
Alibris had what I wanted at a competitive price. I'm steering away from large corporations.

Website is secure with easy navigation. I always come to Alibris first! I have ordered dozens of books and most I receive within a week. The stars lmk how long to expect shipping to take and I can decide.
Hands down, Alibris has THE best customer service and pricing over every other site, including Amazon.

My main problem using Alibris is that I am never sure where the ship to address is. I have sent books to the wrong address more than once. Its an important issue when ordering. Why not include that in the immediate order feedback?
I like shopping in the broad book market that Alibris makes available.

Shipping is high, I don't know how to get the code or shop other books except by title.
Date of experience: August 30, 2022
I somehow was routed to a page where my chosen book was $25 minimum, so had to start over to get to the $1.49 copy — don't know why.
Saw a low-priced copy of a book I was searching. Too early to rate service.
