The process for placing an order (and changing the delivery address) was quick and the website is easy to navigate!
The price for the used DVD for a TV series was excellent.

You had what I wanted at a fair price. Thankfully I didn't have to order from the Evil Empire (AbeBooks/Amazon).
I hate Amazon, City Lights didn't have what I wanted.

It took a little while to familiarize myself with the website setup. Disappointed I could not see the copy of the book I wanted to order.
Recommended by a Book Store manager in Duck, SC.

It wouldn't allow me to change the billing address on a Mastercard that I planned to use and forced me to use another card.
Your prices were slightly lower and you had a used copy.

I was looking for a particular vintage / publisher of book, and it was easy to filter to find it.
I like their search functionality, the many options of book types, also good to buy off something that is not Amazon.

Haven't received the books yet so not sure about quality of the physical appearance of the book. Wish there were free shipping, but overall not bad.
Recommended using a reliable web search

As previously noted, your site seems to think I have left something I'm the shopping cart when I have not. You need to fix your software.

Clear and user friendly order form. Liked the opening screen that noted previous order had been placed as a guest and not with a user account.

I have ordered from your company for several yrs. I have never had a problem. I will continue to order from you. I've loved every book!

So excited they had the book I was looking for! Both the item and shipping costs were very reasonably priced and the order process was very easy.
I was looking for a somewhat rare (I thought) book since it was not on Amazon. I was familiar with Alibris since I work in a library, where we use Alibris at times to identify or locate harder to find books.

When searching for books I would love to search within one seller to be able to combine shipping from one source

Easy to find and buy the book I was looking for. Very pleased with the price discount on the book and inexpensive shipping option. Thank you!
Price was a big factor.

Alibris is my source for new as well as out-of-print books. You will likely find what you are looking for, at a price you can afford.
The particular book I wanted was offered in a number of formats and prices.

I think $5 off $50 for my email is too much. I think $5 off any order would be appropriate to the amount of junk email we all get
Book was only found here

Alibris was easy to shop with. I was able to find the books I was looking for at an affordable price and make my purchase quickly.

Good, except that I had filled my cart, stopped for a moment, then all my items disappeared when I logged in. I had to start all over again. :(

Here's the thing...why do I need a damn password to just buy a book You send book...I send you money. Is that so difficult to fathom?
Because you had the book and I could buy it. Sounds like any business transaction to me. I am certain that I will be satisfied with my purchase, but if you want to follow up go for it. Not necessary. I would recommend your business to others based upon the fact that I could send $ and you sned book.

I like trade paperbacks rather than paperbacks and can't always get the books I want in trade paperbacks. This is not your problem; just a comment.
Have had good luck finding what I want and price is right

Past Experience

There were problems checking out. I left my cart and signed out and when I signed back in a few hours later, everything worked as expected.
I was looking for cost effective Christmas presents.
Date of experience: December 5, 2021
I processed this order with another company. They took my money then cancelled the order bc the book seller apparently sold the book to someone else.
Because of price and google search
