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.
It's clear, fair, honest and has every detail imaginable. Great site

I love alibris. There are many times where I have ordered books that were never delivered. In the end, I still find it more economical and sustainable to buy from alibris, but if you need a book in a timely manner maybe look elsewhere as it can take a few attempts.
Price of novel.
Date of experience: October 13, 2021
The prices often can't be beat. However, the default shipping address is the one last used. If you make a mistake, it is pretty much hopeless for it to be rectified even if you contact the seller immediately. I have also purchased books that have never been delivered. The prices are affordable but I've received 60% of my orders on average.
Because I prefer to have my own copy of this book than renting from the library.
