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.
Simple, easy, and I'm very glad you had the book I wanted in stock
I buy alot of omnibuses, but none of the other sites had the book I was looking for, I found your site for the first time so I decided to try you out and if all goes well I could find myself order many more books from you.

Looking for; "Making History: The Storytellers who Shaped the Past." It was significantly more expensive at Amazon, and it included free shipping. My other two selections are books I've had on my wish list for some time.
