Cheapest price I found for a book in good condition, and the seller seemed honest about the condition that it's in. The checkout process was easy to navigate.

Alibris always has the weird and niche books I look for, 5/5!
I got paid yesterday

Very easy to find what I was looing for. Prices are very reasonable. Shipping was a little high but then again the books came from different sellers so I guess that's to be expected.
They had the cheapest price for the books that I wanted.

Your shipping rates are ridiculously high because you are not at least OFFERING the CHOICE of shipping their order parcel post for publications. Everyone knows this option exists so why aren't you offering it?
I thought I'd try it again although it has been a while since I ordered from your site for the very reasons that I saw today: the deficiencies both of your website design and the lack of shipping options. I am a website developer so I KNOW you can do better than this.

Found 2 movies I have wanted to own for sometime but are not available for streaming. So it was nice to be able to find dvd's so I can share these classics with my older grandkids.
Thank you
Have purchased in the past with great results

Used Alibris in the past, but been so long that my email was no longer registered! No matter. I was able to quickly check out as a guest and I was done lickity split!
Past experience and great price on a cookbook in excellent condition. I'm not sure how much use I will get, so paying the astronomical cost of the book new made no sense.

Shipping seems high at literally half of the price of the book itself, but it's fine I guess. Not much of a choice. Usually, the books from here are decent.
Because I thought it was a lower price than buying it brand new, but it was only a couple dollars less with shipping & handling. I have shopped here before as well.

My book came promptly and in great condition. I was amazed, the book was like new!
Good price.

I have a coupon code for $5 off and free shipping. The website would not allow me to use my coupon, but kept replacing my coupon with their lesser coupon.
Could not find my book in print elsewhere. I could only find ebooks elsewhere, and amazon returned my order with no explaination.

Found a book 50% cheaper than Amazon. Plus an independent bookseller. That's a win win in my book. Hopefully it's the book I need for class, sure looks like it.
Looking for an alternative to Amazon/Google. I knew I could find something cheaper online somewhere b/c the book has been out for 4 years. I'm hopeful that this site delivered.
Date of experience: September 6, 2022
Amazing experience. I wish things shipped faster but besides that all the books are in good shape and the fees are so affordable I recommend it to all my friends.
To buy books that i needed for a class but now want to read for fun :)

I have paid for a book (and shipping) I haven't gotten, I've had multiple issues in getting feedback to Alibris and alibris sellers I end up in a frustrating loop if the seller doesn't reach out I have no way of getting my issue resolved
I didn't want to pay 24$ on Amazon

This platform is easy and fast. I've had good luck finding hard to find books and the sellers have always been accurate in their descriptions and truthful in their dealings.
I wanted a book for a study for less than the price of new.
