Was able to sign up for alerts on this book and see when the book was available for a reasonable price. My uncle wrote it:)
I wanted to support this book store rather than Amazon and the prices were similar.

Sometimes it takes a long time for an order to be shipped. I ordered a book 10 days ago and it is not even shipped.
Cheap prices of books

Shipping costs need to be easier to see other than waiting until the end. Also, more information on the books would help determine the purchase.
I love books

I haven't purchased on Alibris for several years. They've streamlined the process and it's much easier than it was. I like the site very much.
I know it’s a good site for used books.

Gauging the condition of things is fairly difficult, but to be fair, how much time can a seller spend establishing the condition of an item.
Just an album nobody cares about I couldn't find elsewhere.

Left the screen to try and see where book would be shipped from and lost all my info and had to start over again. Sigh.
A friend found where I could get this Bible at a reasonable price. I hope the pring is not too small.

Add a gift message option and a notice telling us we'll choose the shipping address before completing the order, and it would be five stars.
Great service and prices. Also, to spread my purchases around.

Handy for when you want to know about a used book listing without having to check everyday yourself to see if it's now for sale.
Alibris alerted me to an out of print book coming available and at a less-expensive price than I’d seen elsewhere.

I need 2 copies of this book.
Although I hoped to get free shipping, the cost is reasonable. Thank you for offering this great book!

Unable to select United States as country with Oregon as the state. Had to use United Kingdom instead... hoping this doesn't cause a shipping error.

I'm a middle school English teacher and your website is FANTASTIC! The cost of all the books in my classroom library is funded by me, so I'm so very happy to have found your website!

Absolutely my go-to online book store. My only complaint is that the wishlist isn't mobile-optimized.
I always choose Alibris!

I wish the mobile site had the same sorting and filtering options as the desktop version, but otherwise - best online used bookstore in the world!

Too complicated and awkward, I felt. It could be that I was using my phone to place the order. Or it could have been me.
I have made purchases here before.
