Well designed website, but a shipping estimate should be added to see the actual price-it almost doubled mine.

First of all, the book offered costs a king's ransom everywhere else! Shopping options worked well on-line and were navigated quickly.
Had what I was looking for at a realistic price not found anywhere since the book came out!

1. Message stated wrong # of books in shopping cart.
2. Delay when screen pages change... thinking it was not working.
Have done business here before. Good service.

I like your deals, but the emails offering coupons need to be more specific about what "free shipping" means. Because, its not free.
Overall, better prices. That and you're not Amazon.

As always, better deals than anywhere else. The shipping is always murder, but that's to be expected. Something confused me about the coupon that was sent to me though. It said free shipping, but there seemed to be no redeemable code. I figured there was something in the fine print about that, but I didn't have time to figure it out.

Overall good experience. Cheaper than amazon. Only issue is if something gets lost in shipping, Alibris won't reimburse.

Seems complete. Accurate. Would have preferred my previously ordered copy. Wish the inventory list had been up to date.
The previously ordered book was no longer available. I followed the directions to replace it.

I'm here to support book sellers that are not Amazon. The layout of your site is easy, clear and well laid out.
I wanted to support small book sellers.

Reliable bookseller as always. When I can save and enjoy reading without getting a brand new book, that's totally rewarding.

Website is not very easy to navigate in Safari but otherwise I'm very pleased that I've found two difficult to find books here.
Previously found two hard to find books here.

Best price, easy to use.

Great prices; since I am ordering two books from the same store, it would be nice to combine the books into one package and save on shipping.

Although I found all 15 DVDs I was looking for at one vendor, I believe the shipping charges of $46.85 for this order are exorbitant.
