Very impressed w/ orderly arrangement of products for sale, e.g., music, books, movie, etc. Makes sense! Also, the choice of sellers is easy to understand & navigate--I contacted one book seller Solr by email to find out if the used book they were selling was highly dusty (allergies) & they emailed back w/ details & evident concern. Alibris is now my "go-to" source for great prices, selection & quality of sale. Thanks for doing a great job!
Very Difficult to change shipping address. Had to quit internet browser and log back in again. Shipping choices limited. I know from past purchase that independent sellers can take their sweet time shipping items and often do. Why does alibris appear to charge at 1st class parcel rates and deliver at slower and cheaper media mail rate? Delivery window excessively wide.
Upon searching the Internet, Alibris does have what I need

Smooth - it was recommended by a *******@similar online e-commerce who unfortunately could not sale the same book to me - for a system limitation/ restriction/ glitch. So far, no hassle.
Recommended by a seller from competing e-commerce.

Was unable to get on your site because of "too many redirections" error with my Kindle Fire and Silk browser. Today I got in with a laptop running Chrome. By that time, coupon "JANUARY' expired--so I dumped some of my order. Letting you know so you can fix.
I like the service, the website, and the sellers! Have only gotten one book that was not as described, and that was taken care of promptly. Thank you
