There were no issues, the system worked as it was supposed to (not all systems do that). Quick and easy.
It had the best price for the book, but not the cheapest shipping.

Quick notification of unavailability with direct link to order alternative. Receipt did NOT show where I ordered the first one from, so am guessing.
It's not Amazon.

This site is easy to navigate and connected me with hard-to-find books from independent bookstores. Awesome!
I googled "buy books ethically" and this was one of the first results.

Can easily find books I am led to at the exactly right price for my 81 year old pocketbook, thank you.
Always find that which I am seeking.

I've been needing to buy some books, you sent me a coupon and I love Alibris!

Clean website without advertising pollution. Alibris is designed for readers and thinkers, thank heavens.
You guys usually have what I'm looking for. Also, you copyedit your webpages, so I don't waste time deciphering what should be English but usually (hello Amazon) is some bot-spew of word salad.

Great books at reasonable prices & I love supporting independent book sellers. Way more fun than Amazon :)

I am ordering this book for the third time. My order has been cancelled twice. That does not make me feel good about your company.
You are my first choice when looking for a book.

Not easy to change passport - should tell customer that coupon is applied half way thru buying experience!

You sent me an Email "$15 off", but the fine print says only on orders in excess of $125 - a little misleading.

Very easy web ordering. I would like to know total cost including shipping earlier in the purchase process.
It's not Amazon.

Have been able to complete and update my account with Alibris on my cell phone. Do happy for that
They had the book I wanted, in stock and at a great price.

It would be nice to have advanced search available on the home page. Less steps for busy people.
Thanks!
Looking for a hard to find book.

Search need improvement. As in: "Signed" etc...
Found a book I wanted, will try selling here, but lots of improvement needed.

No technical glitches! At last! Had a lot of trouble for past 6 mos., sometimes just abandoning orders. Someone has fixed something! Thank you!

Access to a lot of sources and NO AMAZON!
Date of experience: July 27, 2021
Very easy to place my order, and this company was the cheapest that I found after doing much research! I'll come back here again,for sure!
After much research trying to find a particular book they had a copy, and they were nearly half the price of any other seller that I've found. I will certainly return!

I feel like the add to cart and check out experience on mobile platform (google chrome via iOS) could be improved.
Great price

I am very disappointed. That shipping was not considered prior to checked out. I'll shop my books elsewhere
Because it used to be a great store
He screwed up on this book last month I don’t expect much better this month.

Found what I wanted, it's been a long time since I've ordered from you, probably over fifteen years, shipping prices sure have gone up
Wanted a book pretty bad and did not want to patronize the giant, liberal company

Alibris has a wide selection of books and an easily navigated website. I have always received my order quickly.
Date of experience: August 25, 2022
Had what I wanted at an amazing price! Super happy with the shipping amount also. Can't wait to get this book and finish my collection.
I happened on the site through a search engine. They had what I wanted so it worked out perfect.

Quickly found item. Love that offer old paperback editions at very good prices and enable PayPal for payment.

The initial listing said "eligible for free shipping" but no option fir that presented. That's obnoxious.

Love the variety and better prices. Your website even makes it easier to shop as a guest than most sites.
You had what I needed at a better price than others.

Web site is easy to navigate. Good detail available about each book (condition, seller rating, etc).
Because alibris is one of my go-to, online, used bookstores, and you had the books that I was looking for at a good price:-)
