In general good. I was disappointment because the specific book I ordered was not available, so when I when to re-order a replacement, it was about $40 more.
It had the best price.

First time ordering from Alibris, several of the books had high shipping costs. I will look for those books in Wonder bookstore in the town I live in.
Decided to give it a try

Thank you for providing me with this very precious artists' CD. Your website was very easy to use and your messages and acknowledgements were very appropriate and accurate.

Always my 1st choice. Other book stores use them too.

Everything was fine; didn't see a way to send this as a gift. Is there a way to do that? I liked that it was so easy to update my credit card information.
Was looking for a good price on this book I purchased.
Date of experience: January 1, 2021
Books always come when they are suppose to. Used books still are good quality. The shipping is a bit high. But sometimes it is worth it if the book is only a dollar.
I like buying used books.
Date of experience: October 5, 2022
You have quite a few books to choose from. New to used. Most books I order are used but they are in pretty good shape. Thank goodness for you guys.
Needed a couple book for a couple of courses I am taking.

Shipping costs are not realistic. If I buy 3 books from the same store, there should be a shipping discount, since shipping 3 books together is much cheaper than shipping 3 individual books.
Date of experience: March 29, 2023
It was easy and fast with no problems. I found the book I wanted at a good price and the shipping was a little pricey but I do live in Canada so I do understand.
I chose this site because I found the book for a cheap price and everywhere else was really high. Even with it being a low price and having to pay shipping, I still kept it under the price of the other books.

Easy to use site. I find what I'm looking for. Prices are great. Shipping seems a bit high, but I can't get what I'm looking for locally as easily as I can here.

Average. The seller didn't seem to care to answer their e-mail during the weekend, so I had to go without further descriptions of the item in order to receive the item on time.
Lowest price around. Out compete even Amazon.com and eBay.

There was no place to use my coupon. It was difficult to change my shipping address and I had to enter my credit card information several times before the order information was processed.

It's been easy to order. I haven't ordered much online but when I do it seems difficult to finish the order. This worked just like it should when I clicked on the tabs.
