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 is too expensive. Needs to be less when ordering from same seller.

It was fairly easy. But I would like more images. Visuals are important.
Some of the lowest prices on valuable books that I could not buy without this network.

I like that you respect my privacy and have the "guest" option-instead of requiring an account
Because you have books no one else does and for a reasonable price

Books & prices are awesome - but shipping charges make it not worthwhile
Amazon only has new versions of these titles
