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.
Shipping costs led to removal of all but one book in my cart.

Shipping is too high when all books ship from the same site.

Best of my searches

I have been able to find both of my textbooks for a good price and reasonable shipping costs.
Seems to have better quality of book sellers. Prices matched what was listed (not true for other clearinghouse websites).

Very easy to narrow search to exactly the kind of text I was looking for - hard/soft cover, new/used, etc. other web sites make it very hard to tell what you are actually buying, and keep slipping in items that don't meet desired criteria.

I don't understand how to use consolidated shipping with a single seller. Completely opaque.
Finding older/out of print books at good prices, and thereby supporting independent booksellers.

I can find things my local bookseller does not have.

Broad choice of obscure books.;-)

This order went very smoothly.;-) When I try to find books I want from a single source amongst your partner sellers —it often doesn't.
Good selection.

I was look for books in an obscure literary field, Dutch Caribbean Literature in Papiamento or translated into English... and couldn't find any on Amazon. Happy to say I found 1 collection of poetry here in Papiamento.
