Shipping of $4.99 is higher than other sites. Given the choice I will buy where shipping is less.
You had the book I wanted in the edition I wanted.

So far so good, but my opinion will depend on the speediness of shipping and the condition of the book.
You seem to have the best price for this book.

Quick and easy. Hadn't shopped Alibris in a while. Changed my password, and ordered several books. Saved time and money.
Books were available in one place.

I ordered this once NEW at the same price and got no email or anything and it canceled my purchase a week or so later.
I would like this book and it seemed like the same price although it was USED this time and not NEW anymore for the same product.

What's this with IL tax? You are not located in IL. Why should I have to pay IL sales tax to a bookseller out-of-state?
Past good service

Couldn't easily alter address to reverse London and Lewisham. Not really important, but nice to be able to do so.

I lost my shopping cart when I couldn't recall my password and had to set it up again. V. Irritating!
Best prices
Date of experience: June 9, 2021
It's too hard to tell whether an item will come with tracked shipping or not, and why it is above the current book and media rate offered by USPS.
It had the least expensive copy, a book within my state lines, and I could use Paypal instead of my card number.

So far the books I have purchased have been as described. I like using Alibris.
Easy to use and great prices.

You all consistently have books that are out of stock but are still advertised as being in stock on bookfinder.
You had a book that I wanted for the cheapest price compared to the other marketplaces

I love reusing books! This website is quick and easy, and I can see all my options clearly. Thank you!
The books I had been looking for were there!

Alibis always has the books I am looking for, even if they aren't "mainstream" books and the prices are good.
I was looking for a book that was hard to find or over prices.

It would be nice to have a button to punch to search for magazines rather than books. I like tracking down old SciFi magazines.
Alibris is Alibris. You have a fine selection of books sellers that are also on Abe or Ebay but it is easier to find a particular author/book on Alibris and as much if not more sellers per each item. Better item descriptions (better use of Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good.

Shipping rates are somewhat high but I am easily able to find titles I'm searching for, and I'm not supposed corrupt company like Amazon.

A very competitive price! This rounds out the King's thinking on the war.

I find Alibris easier to use than either Amazon or Abe Books.
Date of experience: November 19, 2022
Thanks to alibris. Abebooks did not have Kate Werren's "An American Uprising in Second World War England," and Amazon Prime will not recognize my password. Alibris is just easier for me (a retired history professor) to order used books.
I can afford to read military history thanks to Alibris.

I shopped four different sites for this title and Alibris had the best price.
You had the best price among Amazon, biblio.com, Abe books, and Thriftbooks.

U do not offer coupons to NEW clients so why are u asking for a coupon when it's checkout time knowing most "new Clients" don't have it?
Saw extensive promo about the book and typed the title in my computer and you had the best price. That took some of the sting out of the coupon incident; or lack of.

Tried to buy book listed (by the Bookworm store) and got a "we don't have that book"; take it off so it doesn't show up as available. ANNOYING
I was looking for a particular version of a book I had when a child. It took me quite some time to find it (I think it is the one as there were no pictures). That was the one you listed as available but was not. I live in hopes this one is the right one--I picked the highest-price one in hopes that it was.

Since I can't go to my favorite bookstores, shopping on line is the next best thing, even if my bookshelves are full. Alibris is one of my favorite sites.
