Could not change my payment information. I want to be able to remove cards, if necessary.
Better than Amazon.

The copies of the 2100 Asanas book was $50+ when I searched on the site. When I searched Google, I found that book on Alibris for $14. Not a great experience to have to search Google to find good deals on Alibris.
Having more titles with "Look inside" would be helpful for my purchase experience.
Better than Amazon.

Great prices and service. Beats offering from Amazon!

Mostly great search experience, great prices. Not sure why there are three versions of "Scaling Excellence" that look exactly the same. On the other hand, Amazon had several more identical entries.
Next issue is that you quickly charged the purchase to the last debit card. Correct in this case, but with one business card and one personal card on record with you, this isn't guaranteed to be correct.
Great selection and prices. And you're not Amazon!

Good prices. Easy shopping experience.
Best site to buy books.
Date of experience: November 11, 2021
1. Make it easier to see the publication year. Or clarify why the same book has different covers (UK vs US version, for example)
2. More free shipping options. Bought $50 worth of books and paid $20 in shipping on top of that. :-\ I think I might have preferred a $6 book to a $2 book and $4 in shipping
Good deals and I dislike Amazon.

Added to cart as a guest, but lost cart when I reset pswd to log in. Some item seemed to increase in price the longer I was shopping.
A friend recommended you as a substitute to Amazon. I'm very satisfied with your selection and pricing.

I found what I was looking WBUR had difficulty checking out. I entered my credit card info at least three times. Very unusual. I need to update my phone number but couldn't locate how to accomplish.
Easy and so efficient.

Great service! Very happy with all books I have ordered so far.
My go-to for used books. I choose new or like-new items and have never received a mildewed book (which I wouldn’t be able to keep). Appreciate being able to see book’s current location so I can order closer ones to decrease shipping pollution.

I am glad to find this book and look forward to having it.
I don't know who really owns and profits from this site, whether their business model is good for books and independent books sellers. But I sure as hell don't believe Amazon is good, and I am holding out hope that I just sidestepped any Amazon affiliated site. But maybe its an effort in futility.

No problems. Found what I wanted, liked the price, bought the book. Very smooth. Thanks.

Because i had liked it in the past
Date of experience: March 10, 2024
I am really upset because, three weeks ago i changed the address to send a gift to my friend. Then i changed it back to my address for the next book...today i ordered a book, I was in a hurry. And clicked before i realized that it showed my friends address. I tried to phone you to change it. But told on the phone to write to a alibris.com/contact. That DIDN"T work. So i had to order another book...beside that i was pretty sure last time i ordered this book in spanish but it came in english. So i am wasting money,, all i needed was one in spanish and one in enslih now i have TWO of each. I am on limijted budge abd HATE wasting money..
i thought i would be able to get in touch with you if there was an error. I was wrong. I am still upset.

My address keeps reverting to my grand child's address... i order tons of stuff from Alibris but whenever i go to check out. My grandkid's address shows up as my address. Several times i inadvertently had my order sent to his place. HOW CAN I CHANGE IT PERMANENTLY back to my home address?
Because i generally love your outfit but I hate that i can't change my home address on your check out place
