The creepy moment was reading that the book would be sent in 3-15 days. That's a wide range.
It's not Amazon.

You had the books in hardcover for prices that were fairly low even with shipping. Even better than the prices on Thriftbooks.
Because thriftbooks didn't have one of the books in the series I wanted. When I came here the price was so good that I looked for the others and went back to Thrift and cancelled, buying them all three from you.

Amazon failed to offer anything reasonable.

I love this site. I couldn't find a hardcover anywhere else. The site is easy to use and the sellers are great.
I was looking for an old book and I wanted it in a hardcover. On other sites I could only find paperbacks.

Was very easy to find the books I was looking for and easy to check out without a lot of rerouting. Thanks
Prices good.

I don't like having to reevaluate my choices when checking out. The best information should be available as I make my choices.
You had what I was looking for in one place.

I thought I was getting free shipping. Also, I kept putting my email address in the sign in but it wasn't registering.
Trying to give an independent bookseller some business instead of Amazon. But I I would have gotten free shipping on amazon. Very disappointed.

You have such a broad selection that when I travel I can find things I couldn't find at home. Thanks so much
What I was looking for after a trip can’t be found in just one bookshop.

I have sent 2 books to the wrong person. Have sent a message to sellers but 1 seller has already dispatched the book. I love your selection but I find that it is hard to change the sent to. I have erased the wrong address and it still keeps popping up. I realize that this is my problem but it is aggregating and expensive.

Good checkout experience. I await the quality of the CD -- I heard this version live in the 90s and it was exceptional.

Would be great to be able to check for multiple copies and order at once….also shipping for one place seemed exhorbitant
Not amazon( I think). Really think your policy of forcing publication agreement in order to give feedback is WRONG.
I will hope to remember to never take my time to give you give you feedback again

I wanted to order multiple copies of this book and the site just popped up that the item was already in my cart rather than that a given seller only had one... confusing
Not owned by amazon? Or is it?
Date of experience: April 28, 2022
The last time I ordered from you I received the wrong book, couldn't speak with anyone and had to wait for weeks to get the correct book sent
Because you aren’t ( I think) connected to amazon

Bit soon to say because its my first order from alabris. Find the shipping cost from UK to Australia a bit steep!
Siejabber review says alabris OK

I have already unsubscribed from special offers before. The default option at guest checkout should not be to subscribe to special offers.
It was a great deal and you're not owned by that skeevy prick named Jeff.

Very glad to find two copies of this book. One for my twin sister and one for me for our 75th birthday!
Because you had the books I wanted in the amount I wanted, two.
