Priced well and easy to purchase. Coupon codes are not helpful unless you are making a several book purchase.

Checkout straightforward, selection good, but trolling around for best combo of free shipping, coupon codes a little more involved than needed.

Very disappointed with Alibris "bait and switch" tactics. Twice they have sent me a coupon yet when I place my order there is no field to insert the coupon. Once for free shipping, noe for 10 bucks, I'll start to shop elsewhere.
Alibris sent a coupon they claimed wasworth $10. But no place to insert coupon code on checkout!

My first order. You didn't have books that I was interested in available with free shipping. Disappointed in that.
Wanted the Veterinary Secrets book by Andrew Jones

I've ordered from Alibris several times - always easy with no problems. And I love that Alibris is NOT owned by Amazon!
Highly satisfied with past ordering experiences so have become a loyal customer. I also try to avoid ordering books from Amazon.

So easy to use the Alibris website & have never had a problem receiving orders on time and in the condition stated. Thank goodness Alibris has not sold out to Amazon!
Good past experiences.

Found the title I wanted quickly and at a fair price. Easy website to navigate.
The truth? I try to avoid using Amazon as much as possible!

Love the options in price and condition, I can always find books not available in stores, especially textbooks and hard-to- find out of print books
I used it when I was in graduate school, it’s my go to for boobs I can’t find in a library or local bookstore. And I REFUSE to use Amazon lol

So easy to view available books - type, quality, condition. Excellent, excellent shopping experience!
Best place for used books.

Very good, BUT, just to let you know, when I googled "used Books" Alibris didn't come up. Every other Used Book store came up. I had to type in ALIBRIS to get to your site. Just FYI.
Because I've used you before - and you are cheap and easy.

Good availability of books and versions. Somewhat difficult to figure out what shipping pricing options are available.
Wanted to get specific older books, but found additional ones just from browsing.

Lost items in my cart when I had to reset password and could never find the items again, probably in a cart somewhere.
Lowest price on a book I wanted

Buying from Alibris is simple. The simplicity of the website is even better than Amazon. As a bonus, prices are far better too.
I've used them a lot over the years, and have no reason to go anywhere else, especially for used or out-of-print books.

They always seem to have the old books for which I'm searching.

This book is a baby shower gift. It would have been nice to be able to include a message to the expectant mother.
The book I ordered was treasured by my own children when they were small. It was also treasured by my husband who loved the illustrations. I am so glad you had a copy in stock.

I love this site but have no internet access and can't shop as much as I did. How do I change my address?
