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.
Alibris is the best deal on books today.

Every book-buying experience with Alibris has been perfect. I find books I want, sometimes even obscure and long out of date/print items. The prices are fair. The books are always as described.

Didn't like the fact that I could not use my $5 coupon on this purchase.
Well I hope I found a really good book for the price.

Nice. Looks to be brand new(ish); the price is good.
I pretty much said it above. I was going to buy the book@ full price; but, then I went looking--and you saved me $10!

Good prices, good search engine, easy to navigate book selection. I will be sure to come back for all my book needs, and recommend it to friends!
It popped up on my Ecosia search, never heard of all, saw a great price so I bought. Plus I'm moving away from Amazon, for obvious reasons.

The site is as easy to navigate as Amazon - and I usually find what I want for a much better price.
Looking for a particular book.

Important information made clear and an easy process
Given most packages delivered by USPS are done so carelessly and most often are stolen, I would have liked more clear information on who and when it was being delivered. As it was I was locking at home checking the front door every hour from 9-6 for the package.
