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.
I'd like to give Alibris a better rating, but I can't find what it was that I had ordered. A reference to a purchase would make the review more relevant.
Don't know what I ordered.

Alibris is a user friendly site. I appreciate the different options for selecting used books. Selecting a vendor that is closest to my address generally ensures a faster shipping time.
I needed a very specific title for research project. It didn't have to be in perfect condition.

I wasn't aware the books would come from different vendors so different postage...wish it were a combined effort equally less postage. Definitely will influence future putchases

I would like to start off saying that, Alibris have a massive collection of books. Anything you may be looking for 95 percent of the time you will be able to find the book you are looking for. I just want to add the delivery for your order is prompt.
Very Satisfied Customer,
I have order with Alibris before and I am very pleased with their services.

The only ongoing issue is that my orders never seem to coincide with the advertised sales. I have asked on S E V E R A L occasions to issue a small credit to me as a customer service gesture, as I have ordered H U N D R E D S of dollars since 2019.
I have requested that the issue I described be forwarded to a supervisor, but I doubt that ever happened.
Much better than Amazon or Abe
Date of experience: November 4, 2024
Compared to Abe's, Alone is is a thousand times easier to navigate. Prices are always good.
I always seem to miss the weekend sales. Since I've spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars, I've asked, as a customer service issue, that I be given a discount. I usually have some books in my cart, but I can't apply the credit to that screen.
Anyway, all the reps are courteous and professional.
5 yrs ago, I was searching online for a book service company. Libris was the first I found.

You people are great...I've been using you for close to 20 years and I know I can find what I need on your website and I certainly don't mind buying the used books that you usually offer and saving a buck or two. You are my "go-to" supplier of books and pass that on to others when I get the chance
Because I know that I can find what I need and at a slightly lower price than anyone else

I like the option to filter books by quality, as well as booksellers by rating. The "saver" feature that points out how to change my order to save money is also so helpful!
I prefer to buy used books from independent sellers.
Date of experience: September 30, 2024
I like buying through Alibris to support local used booksellers. I also find it easy to see all my options.
So I wouldn't be buying from the big A company that is taking over commerce and destroying local businesses and smaller chains.
Date of experience: August 25, 2024
The option to compare prices and different conditions of books (plus knowing the seller ratings) is great.
I would rather support small businesses and avoid Amazon, plus I prefer used books.
Date of experience: December 12, 2023
I have had so much fun going through this site and have found many books that I've been looking for for ages. This site is easy to use and I'll definitely continue to buy from here.

I have accepted cart optimizer because of big shipping savings. But I am a bit concerned Alibris is "amazoning" and competing directly with independent booksellers. Is this true?
Because I understand that Alibris is a platform giving independent booksellers access to the market.

Always easy to find what I'm looking for from so many independent sellers.
I understand it is the remaining platform that continues to serve independent sellers
