The book was rated good, but to me was very good.
The book was sent with tracking info and arrived before the projected date.
Alibris has been my primary book source for more than 10 years.
For many reasons, I would never use that other book source that starts with an A.
I regularly recommend Alibris.

Book was available on it

Books were in better than expected condition and were reasonably priced.
Just happened upon the site when I googled the title of book I was looking for.

Always fast and easy. The selection is large and most of the sellers have good ratings. Alibris is my first and usually last stop for used books.
Always fast and easy.

Because it works.

Quick and easy. Great selection. My #1 stop when I need a book.

Found a book. Put it in cart.
Signed into account. Cart is empty.
Had to search for book again, and re-add to cart.
Because you had the book I was looking for. :)

I have found a copy of almost every book I've searched for and the prices are unbeatable. Every used copy I have purchased has come in wonderful condition.
Date of experience: May 3, 2022
Easy to find titles I'm looking for, plus easy to navigate list to choose from a variety of options for best quality, price, shipping and book seller rating.
Have used them for years, often locating hard to find books. I trust this company.

Good prices! First time buyer and shipping is a little pricey but it's easy to qualify for free shipping and the arrival estimation is only a few days
Cheaper than the other alternatives + was recommended to me
Date of experience: January 26, 2022
It was simple and easy to order the book I am interested in reading. I don't order many books-perhaps 1 or 2 per year and I just do not want to set up an account since I don't order that many books.
A fesw dollars less expensive than Amazon.

I try to buy my books from Alibris. Generally easy to find what I'm looking for, like purchasing from the booksellers and then sharing the books with friends.
Ready for my next reads!

Shipping is zeroed out only during the final review process although it should be taken out at the start of checkout if the cart qualifies for free shipping.

The key advantage of Alibris is the large network of providers. Difficult to find books are frequently obtainable - and sometimes at very low prices - via the Alibris exchange.

I seem to be able to find the many esoteric nonfiction books that I very much enjoy on Alibris.
I was able to find these esoteric and interesting books.
Date of experience: January 16, 2023
Found what I wanted at reasonable prices and hopefully in good condition.
Date of experience: June 27, 2022
Very easy, found just what I wanted. Full report pending, when I actually receive the book I ordered in not too many days and in the promised condition!
Great alternative to Amazon (where I prefer not to do business); excellent selection, well-organized website where I find what I want quickly
Date of experience: December 30, 2022
Fine -- website, as usual, easily negotiable. No problem accepting my coupon code. The proof of the pudding, however, will be found in (1) how quickly the books get to me and (2) whether they're in the condition advertised.
Good experiences in the past. Also, you're not Amazon!
Date of experience: March 18, 2022
It was OK -- not fantastic. I don't like this free-shipping gimmick with the truck logo, seemingly trying to direct my reading choices in a certain direction. You would win more favor from me with a flat minimum dollar amount to qualify for free shipping.
It's a great resource -- you're tied in with so many independent booksellers.

I have been able to find several Georgette Heyer audiobooks that I can find nowhere else. The quality has been good and my items have arrived fairly quickly.
You had the product I wanted.
This is a fun book.
Date of experience: February 23, 2021
Straight to the point - all about the product I am buying and nothing about what else you wish you could sell me... very refreshing shopping experience. Thank you.
Good selection and good prices.
Date of experience: February 28, 2022
This is the best website for used books. Inexpensive, easy to use. I can always find what I want. And get suggestions for books I didn't know existed.
Date of experience: July 12, 2021
Good prices for the items I search for and shipping is still reasonable considering the cost of fuel and lack of workers needed to run our country smoothly.
I have ordered from Alibris many times.
Date of experience: November 8, 2021
Same answer as the first question + and low cost for shipping.

I was able to get all of the movies on my brother's wish list. Some of them were older and I thought perhaps hard to find. What a nice surprise to see them for sale at one website and at great prices, too.
I have purchased here before and it was a good experience.

Sorry to see books going so high especially for retired folks trying to continuing education to serve the lord, but thanks for having the book cheaper than others.
Date of experience: August 19, 2022
Shipping is more reasonable than others. I had some trouble getting it to take my password. A password reset was sent to my email and prob. Was resolved.
Dumb luck. They had the item I was looking for at a very good price and shipping didn't break the bank.

VERY pleased to find the book I ordered in such good condition at such a great price. Payment with Paypal was easy and VERY pleased to have been offered option to donate to The Epoch Times, the best NEWSpaper available in U.S.
Because you had the book I have been searching for in very good condition at a great price.

This book was mentioned in another book I read. I was intrigued and immediately went to Alibris and found it! Great price on a hardback bing bang boom,
My go to for ease and great price
Date of experience: January 10, 2022
I don't appreciate sellers who put a shipping price where the book shows in the selection list, that doubles in the cart. I barely caught that. If they need more than one book from the same author, the statement should show as I am looking at the options.
I don't like to be tricked or lied to. I didn't order the book. Be aware!
Besides my local Goodwill it is my fav place to look
Date of experience: January 9, 2022
I almost always find what I want at great prices. If not, I wait and it will eventually be here. Easy and safe to shop
Options and ease of transaction
Date of experience: March 22, 2021
The website is clean, but not sparse. Easy to navigate and find what I am looking for. It was quick and easy to place the order. Price was very competitive. More to follow once the product arrives...
Had the item I was looking for at a good price.
Date of experience: August 30, 2022
Smooth process. At first the only option to purchase was a book in fair condition but then if you choose to see more options you are shown the book in very good condition for the same price.
I saw Walmart processed through Alibiris.
