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.
Quick. Efficient. Many choices and values. Excellent.
Used before with good results.

A little confusing. Are you called Alibris or Discover Books?
Date of experience: September 27, 2021
Prices decent overall, but I don't like how shipping costs go up the more items you buy.
Date of experience: March 13, 2022
My only complaint would be that I feel the shipping charges are excessive.
Even with the excessive shipping charge, your price for this book is at least 25%
Less expensive than other sites I checked.

Supporting my book habit is easy and affordable with these guys
When I want a book, I don't need a new one. It's going to looked used after I've had it awhile. So keeping these books in circulation and out of the landfill is the best thing for everyone involved
