I really liked the ease of purchase, and how your rating system helped identify the condition of used items.
Actually it was one of the first shops that came up on google with exactly what I wanted at a decent price.

Your web site is clear and straightforward, and so far I have always trusted your ratings of the sellers.
Good experiences for at least 20 years.

I have received no delays, and the site is easy to use and understandable, almost every product is accessible.
It's not unusual that I don't have to look at other sites.

Quick and easy and you have a lot of books at a better price than Amazon. As long as you keep your shipping costs down, I will use you instead.

If I receive the book as promised I will be a happy customer... The ordering process was very simple.

I found all the books I wanted - and all were for an inexpensive price. What more could anyone want?
Date of experience: December 20, 2022
Quick and easy - except when we got to paypal which showed on the article cost and not also the shipping - but when I finally checked out the total seemed to include the shipping - kinda confusing
Because ABEBOOKS did not have the item I was looking for

The emails are misleading. And not knowing how much shipping is going to be until the end is confusing.
Deceptive email
Date of experience: June 18, 2021
Easy to find what I needed, I like that the books are automatically presented from least to most expensive
I needed books and do not want to support Amazon if I can help it. I like that Alibris lets me support smaller independent booksellers.

Fine. But I was told I had a credit for a book not rec'd in my last order. Didn't see it when I did this order. Would it have expired?
Have previously ordered from. Good variety.

Your shipping charges are getting to high. I'm having to cut back my ordering. Ebay has lower shipping coast.
I have found many great items and like your site. Easy access and for the most part I've been very pleased. The shipping charges are prohibitive.

So far, your prices are the most competitive. Shipping is a drag but there is no perfect world.
