Overall a great experience! The prices can't be beat, and the shipping is quick. However, the packaging could be a little better- I have received some hardcovers with some minor damage.

None of the emails to access my ebooks have had any content, only headings. Accessing my book has been a nightmare, with none of my books populating in my vitalsource library
No other retailer had my textbook as an ebook

This is the first time I've made a purchase from Alibris. It took very little time to ocate the book I wanted and the purchase was fast and easy. Great transaction!
Alibris came up when I searched for the book I wanted. One of your sellers had the hard cover copy I was looking for at a good price.

I had to redo my shopping cart in midstream. I had a cheaper DVD in my cart, it disappeared, then I had to choose the more expensive DVD. There are ghosts or gremlins in the system.
I did a google search of the movie that I needed, and Alibris came up as the second or third link in the search as having a DVD for the movie I needed.

Whether it is literally the newest book released or a golden oldy from 60 years ago, Alibris always has it and gets it to me ASAP.
They have everything... almost.

Can always find books I like

Although I had put in my address as the UK, the shipping costs showed only a third of the final cost at the checkout. If my address is UK, shipping costs should be apparent from the start.
I could not find the book I wanted anywhere else.

My book came sooner than expected, was well-packaged, and in in excellent condition.
I can trust the company.

I've been using Alibris for years and am always happy with the selection and pricing. I just wish there was a choice or policy for NO PLASTIC PACKAGING
Date of experience: April 13, 2024
I have had mostly good experiences with Alibris. My only complaint is that they still use plastic packaging.

I can look all over the internet for lower prices than here and NEVER find them. Was looking for a used book and found a new one here cheaper than used ones
They are always the most economical

The site is easy to navigate. I just ordered a study guide. I hope my book will come quickly, and will be in good shape. We'll see.
They had the best price

It bothers me that full shipping for books are charged even when multiple books come from same bookstore.
Cheaper than Amazon and more specialized.

Name on shipping and payment billing method are synched up until you change the shipping name, at which point it only updates that and not the card...
Cheapest price online for the book I wanted.

It's very confusing tracking when the same book is coming from different sellers, and one seller hasn't put it in the mail after 2 weeks.
It offers multiple sources for a book we're trying to get multiple copies of.
