I always enjoy shopping at Alibris. Great selections and I can usually find the books I'm looking for at a great price
Prices are always good.

I am frustrated that I place an order, get a confirmation of shipment and then notice of cancellation two days later.

Best prices and books readily available

Alibris is an excellent source for purchasing used books. I have been a customer for several years and have never been disappointed.
I received an email with coupons so went shopping!
Date of experience: December 4, 2022
The website is easy to search for used books and to see other books by same author.
I had an email with special coupons. However, I never manage to reach the limit and I get discouraged to even try your site. I also noticed that the shipping price has increased from 3.99 to 4.49. I realize this is due to postage rates with USPS.

We appreciate the ease of shopping for used books from your website. Thanks.
Very easy to shop at your website.

After I chose the one book, I wanted to continue shopping for another, Twice Shy by Sarah Hogle, but could not shop more. Disappointing.
One book, Accidentally Engaged by Farah Heron
Date of experience: September 4, 2021
Found the book I have been looking for the last three years. The price was much more reasonable than other book sites.
I used to purchase from Alibris sometime back, but with the advent of various used bookshops, forgot about Alibris. I saw it mentioned on GoodReads and surfed on in. Glad I did!

Finding exactly what you're looking for, for a good price, completing the transaction in about 2 minutes is a really good experience.
Convenience.

I accidently added a copy of a book. I would like to have been able to remove it before the final checkout.

Thanku, I suspect someone at the post office is doing malicious things, I'm talking to the postmaster tomorrow about my last order and Cd switched.
Back their products and delivery.
Fair prices.
Date of experience: January 19, 2023
A very good selection of books, a more than fair price, and ease of use for a tech challenged person like me.
I have utilized Albiris many times over several decades and been pleased each time.

Wish I could find more of the items I needed in stock and shipped/sold by Alibris. Also wish the coupons were better.
In stock items

Up-to-date service, in both what is available and the web interface. Easy to update billing method. Easy to find what I wanted.
Good source for hard to find books
Date of experience: January 13, 2021
Whenever I had a hard time finding a book I can always look on alibris and find it at a reasonable price.
It was recommended to me by a friend
Date of experience: April 2, 2023
Requested book not found so put in a search request and less than 24 hours later my requested book was found. Yay!
100% satisfaction

I like shopping with you. Would be helpful if you would show what shipping is going to cost before coming to checkout.
Date of experience: February 15, 2021
So easy to navigate the website and the many options to narrow down the search made for a great first time experience.
Recommend by a friend who; like myself, would rather support a smaller company rather than Amazon.

Wish there was a quicker, easier way to get to the advanced search feature. I seem to have to hunt for it.
Tends to have what I am looking for.

Pretty nice. Wish the home address could be entered with special characters though. Just so I could be as precise as possible.
The previous book retailer I used closed and I saw a recommendation for this one. I want to see if it will become my main supply of books.

Good site-I buy lots of dvd movies. Seems like the inventory is thinning out, at least for the movies I look for.
All fine
Best place to find used movie dvds

Faultless. I am so grateful to be able to have the privilege if reading this work. Would this have a tracking number?
To facilitate finally a way of getting this rare book.
Date of experience: October 11, 2022
Finding books was easy. Once you get to your "cart", trying to leave that area and return to shopping is not easy.
Another site recommended Alibris.
Date of experience: February 19, 2021
I always get e-mails from you but I'm thinking this is the first time I order from you, hope it works out!
Cause the book was cheaper here, thank you!
Date of experience: February 19, 2021
Shipping is too high. Combined shipping doesn't get a discount. And when you say free shipping the book cost is higher. Shame.

Great to do such a quick business with you, including giving suggestions of related items to a first book selection! Thank you
Because of your easy to read and accesseble books but 'these days' Most of ALL because you have PAYPAL [and not Only CreditCards] as possible Payment Method!

The site is very easy to navigate. I was able to find the book I needed and purchase it at a very reasonable price

Stop trying to sign me up for your newsletter. I had to opt out (which is already annoying) twice (which is insulting).
Because it was cheaper.
