I think this is the first time I've been to your website, but I am pleased with the selection of books I was interested in, and the prices.
I was looking for a particular book and Amazon had it in hardback for $123+. Ridiculous. I purchased a new paperback edition of it here for only $11.50! Such a deal!

Great quality and I'm able to find books not easily found at other shopping outlets.

I absolutely love this wonderful online shop Alibris has been part of my life since my college years, I love the fact that I can buy used books
I always do. I chose Alibris over Amazon because it was a better price and a used book.

Previous good experience
Date of experience: May 20, 2024
Everything was good except for the shipping charges. Site was easy to negotiate. Book prices were good. Books received in the past were in good shape. Had hoped that ordering several books would decrease the shipping costs.

Thanks for the opportunity to weigh in on this.
Recently I have been faced with the necessity of jumping through hoops to get on your site. NUMEROUS times in order to do what I needed to do to make two purchases, since I'm not terribly efficient at it.
TWICE having to play the puzzle game with "Recaptcha" photos, EACH TIME.
There is a statement that to avoid it I should check my computer for malware.
Does this mean that all of a sudden you have detected malware on my computer? And/or that if I do screen for malware, I will stop having this situation? Or that you have a serious problem with people's malware that you are trying to solve this way?
It is ironic that just after Thriftbooks has removed the photo game (but just requires a simple answer to the question of whether I am "human"), you have added a double dose.
The other thing that is unfortunate is that you have raised your shipping price. I realize that we are in an impossible situation with regard to skyrocketing postage costs (probably largely because of ebay getting to ship Chinese goods for free, basically, which must mean that everyone else is paying for the total cost of running the bloated postal bureaucracy) but since your business model relies on collecting the flat rate per book (totally reasonable since you are a marketplace for all the sellers) it does cause it to add up.
Please don't take this rant "personally". As you can see, I have not let these matters interfere with making "huge" purchases of your many fine books, with perfectly good service.
So keep up the good work on that major score, but if there's any way to solve those two problems, please find it!
Sincerely,
An otherwise satisfied customer
