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.
Found a copy of an obscure English sea shanty CD set. What are the odds?
Only place I could think to look for something this obscure.

To avoid Amazon and save $. Jeff Bozos can go to space on his own dime.

Because I don't want to give Jeff Bozos any more of my $ than necessary!

Very easy. You can find stuff that nobody else has. Cheaper than Kindle!
Because I needed a book that no one else had. Plus your search engine finds what I'm looking for, not 100s of unrelated items like Amazon's annoying search engine. I just hope you don't make your employees pee in bottles like they do! Plus recycling is good for the Earth and the budget.

Better selection for individual items than Amazon. Shipping has always been too expensive, but at least it is faster lately.
Trying to avoid Amazon. Go union!
