Ali dis is my go to place for used and hard to find books. Sellers have always been courteous and protect their books as if they were their children

A bit frustrated at the shipping. It would be nice if the site could indicate if a bookseller had all the books I was looking for in single seller.
The school recommended you:-)

I kept trying to put my cc details in and your site kept not taking them. So, I had to go thru PayPal. Just frustrating in the checkout process.
Couldn't find this book anywhere! Not bookshop or amazon or barnes and noble. Thank you! You guys really came through!

I was in a hurry to find the book I needed and get it ordered. I did all that in less than five minutes, and they have good prices.
I needed the book I ordered for health reasons, and chose Alibris. I've ordered before and trust them, along with having good prices. Simple as that.

Always a good experience with Alibris though I am less profligate with book
Purchases than in former times.

It is a good experience. I just have to learn how to delete the old Visa. That will make things easier. But I managed to order what I wanted today.
I think they have access to interesting books that can be shipped from reliable source. Mostly they books arrive in the condition described so I trust them.

It was not too difficult. I have some eye problems and not to savvy with tech items but alibris is something I can handle.

The book I wanted had limited availability
Date of experience: January 17, 2022
I wish the descriptions were not so generic. I have to return a book and reorder another that has more details to make sure it has the dust cover.
Love the chance to purchase books from so many vendors, all in one place.

Easily found all the books I wanted. Very glad to see so many booksellers available
Only site that had 10 of 11 books in a series. Abe had the other book.

Since i had not signed in yet, my cart was erased about an hour after I put in my last book. Please keep the cart active a little longer.
Because last time I ordered from abeboooks, and the expected delivery time was one month, even though they were shipping from the US and had the book on the shelf.

I typed in the book titles. Alibris had both books. I chose one of each, put in my cart, edited my payment method, hit Buy and I was done.
You have the titles I want at good prices.

I typed in the book title. The list of all the stores offering it popped right up. I chose the condition and price I wanted, went to Checkout, clicked OK wind was done, what could be easier?!
Date of experience: January 29, 2022
I typed in the title of the book i wanted, I reviewed the price and condition and picked one. A similar book was suggested and for $. 99 I figured why not get it. I proceeded to checkout it couldn't have been easier. In fact it has taken me long to type this review than it took to order my books. Love Alibris.
I chose Alibris because I knew I’d find what I wanted at an amazing price.

I really enjoy the accuracy of the site. Book covers are usually accurate, and so is book condition. I just wish gift options were available.
I was looking for competitive pricing.
Date of experience: November 25, 2023
Cheaper than Amazon!

Took way too long. Wanted to checkout as a guest but not allowed to due to an existing account I haven't used for over a decade. What a pain!
Lowest price

I am re-purchasing this book as the previous one I bought for a birthday present came with the pages separate from the cover and I had to repair it.

By simply typing the ISBN into my search engine, ALIBRIS produced the book I was anxious to find! Great price for the book and shipping. Very happy with aLIBRIS!
Great price and EASY purchasing process! So easy: add to cart!

I was offered a Coupon for signing up but then the coupon did not appear. If you can apply a coupon to my order I would be most happy.

Second time I have received a chance to rate today.
First time, I gave you 5 stars.
As soon as I submitted, you cleared the cart (before I had finished paying) and I HAD TO START OVER.
That sucked!

Well the pages kept changing. The wrong address was hard to correct. Meaning the apartment number was left out.
Because it came up in Google at a great low price.

This is the second time I've ordered this book from you guys.my first attempt was cancelled because you had sold my first choice. SHAPE UP!
You have great prices!

Again, it would be nice to see when I would receive the book beforehand. I am trying to get my student ready for classes asap.
Date of experience: September 23, 2023
It would be nice to have the option to expedite shipping. And to know when I can expect to get the book, before the payment page.
I need the text for my student.

Easy to find the book wanted. Difficult to find whether the seller is the same when name is almost the same.
To find books not available locally.

Many choices, too bad the shipping costs so much more than the books

Past experience has been very good.

I wanted to BUY 2 copies of this book and the system would not let me add a SECOND book. By the time I went back to buy it again through the entire process, the book was already gone...
Great price and availablity.

It was good, though when I entered shipping info first, it would have been to have a button saying that was not my billing address.
It came up as a place that was selling the book I wanted.
Date of experience: September 14, 2023
Too difficult to work through update password, getting addresss of shipping and billing completed. Too darn long of a process.
