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 not Amazon and I’ve had a good experience in the past.

I am pleased to have found a "like-new" used copy of this recently-published book.
Because of its engaging background story.

I love shopping at Alibris - books are easy to find and purchase.
Date of experience: June 8, 2022
I have been ordering from Alibris for years. The service is always good, and their selection is great - I can almost always find books here that are not anywhere else.
It's so much better to use than Amazon, I like to support a smaller and excellent business.

Alibris has always been reliable. The only thing I don't like is that there is no way to make something a gift - to send a gift receipt rather than a regular receipt, and especially to be able to send a note to the recipient.
I don't like that Amazon is taking over the world, so prefer to use other sellers. Alibris has always been an excellent alternative for books.

Wanted to buy
Date of experience: December 17, 2021
I wanted to order a two volume set. No problem! Alibris treated me right.
Addall showed me that this was the best price. Also, both volumes are described as 'like new.' That's important to me.

Today (and practically all times I've used alibris in the past) I've come here from the addall.com book search engine. Whenever I see that alibris has better deals than amazon.com I'm happy to buy from you, as shopping at alibris has always been a smooth experience

I had to enter all my info twice. But it finally worked.
Best price, but also because I have had good service in the past.
Date of experience: September 4, 2022
My experience has been quick and easy, straightforward and easy to understand. However, this does not speak to the time in transit or condition on arrival, so I don't think I can give more than 3 stars for the experience so far.
Date of experience: August 2, 2022
Thrilled to have found this book and hoping it is in the condition advertised.
Date of experience: August 30, 2022
It read free shipping and instead about $5 was added to each item.
Googled a book and this price was best.
Date of experience: December 17, 2021
