Media mail should ship for less money. Good prices are merely a distraction from the overpriced shipping
Had the book I wanted

Overall, easy to use. However, when I logged in I was advised that there would be reduced/no shipping charges. I feel that the shipping is too high.
Previous good service.

I have had no problems using Alibris when shopping for books. Each time I've ordered the shipments have come on time and exactly as I ordered them.
I hadn't shopped for books in awhile.

I don't want to be on ANYMORE mailing lists. I signed up for a free $5 coupon, but it didn't cover the books already in my cart.
Because it's in Nevada--closer to the West Coast than Abe Books--and I'm an environmentalist.

I do not wish to have my credit card information stored by your firm. I should have the option to decline this part of the check-out process.

I was trying to get a book that had free shipping. When I put it in the cart the free shipping would go away with no explanation.

Could not find a way to put in a code to save me money at checkout while shopping online using my Android. Otherwise shopping was a breeze.
I did not want to use Amazon and wanted to support smaller businesses!

The shipping costs to Canada are a bit of a sticker shock. It would be appreciated if they would be listed earlier on in the purchase process.
Least net cost source for a particular book.

The search method seems it would be better if it had fields for authors, titles, and such... maybe it does and I am inept at finding it.
The coupon offer

My opinion for Alibris is generally high. However, with today's order, I was not provided with a promo code field to use the discount for my order.

I can always count on Alibris to have what I am looking for. For so many years now. Hard to find books, contemporary books, you name it.
It is my go to place for books
Date of experience: April 27, 2023
So easy to navigate, and to find just the edition you're looking for. My favorite place to buy books!
It’s always my first stop when I see a reference to an interesting book.

It took me longer to set up my order than it did to find the book I wanted. And I have used your company in the past.
I trust them.
Date of experience: February 25, 2022
I love that they have the books I'm looking for, and they ship out quickly. So far, all the books I've purchased have been in great shape.

I wasted an hour trying to find another book to get the free shipping because of the misleading statement saying I only needed $6.76 more to qualify.
Book available at good price

If this meets agreed condition (new) you have met my expectation.
A previous AbeBooks order (09/2023) was misrepresented.

I love buying books and even better buying them at a great price! What's even better are coupons that allow me to get even lower prices! Unbeatable!

Email offered a coupon "Weekend Sale | $15 Coupon + Free Shipping, Edward" but I could find no way to retrieve the code. Feels like bate and switch.
