We are a homeschooling family of big readers. I always check alibris first Because I can usually find what we need for a fraction of the price of new books.

I always look on Alibris FIRST because they have such a wide selection and prices are SO good! Why buy new?!
I knew I could find what I was looking for at a much better price than any new bookstore.

Found (difficult-to-find) books and ordering was easy. As usual, I wish shipping charges were cheaper...
Difficult to find books

I don't understand why only one bookseller went to consolidated shipping. I had two different booksellers that I bought more than one book from in this order. (#******* - Elizabeth Brinker ph. *******207.
Because I couldn't get a book I wanted through Thrift Books.

Good, but the shipping sure adds up...
Several books available from same source.

I am disappointed that when you order several books from the same seller, they charge shipping individually for each item. Not very sales-friendly!

I love the low book prices, but it is still a little confusing getting around. And the shipping is crazy... I really like the new cart optimizer. It saved me
For the book selection.
Date of experience: November 19, 2022
Confusing. I could easily ended up buying books from other sellers without knowing it. I prefer to receive one package from one seller.
Thank you
For a book I was looking for and the wide variety of sellers to choose from. I found a seller easily, but it was still a confusing experience for me.

I ordered a book but the wrong one was sent to me. I am receiving a full refund but they said they couldn't send me my original order and I would have to order it again. Not giving me a great feeling
Because this book is hard to find so I am limited with resources.

I am very pleased! Not only did I find the 'missing' Diary of a Wimpy Kid books for my grandson; 3 of the 5 books were in a set, reducing the amount of shipping I am paying--win-win!
I choose Alibris because they have the books I am looking for at less than other places. I love my used bookstore--but I can't look at a list of their books to find what I want. Here, I put in what I am looking for, usually find it, and virtually always am pleased!
Date of experience: September 5, 2022
I am able to check on books I want, hopefully at a reasonable price. Today was a good day.
I always choose Alibriis!

It's my go-to place online--and easier to find authors & books at than "my" used-bookstore at home.
Date of experience: February 22, 2022
I am able to find what I want, often very cheaply--though the shipping per book is plenty...
Because I can find many books...

My 2nd time to order a book from Alibris. The first time, another place sent me to Alibris and it was on time, had a good cost and arrived on tame so I'm trying again.
I got a book I was looking for once before when the nearest didn't have that one and now the book I wanted was in stock here, too.

It's normally excellent, but for no apparent reason, your system rejected my stored card and rejected it again when I put in the security code. Only when I started all over again did it accept the card. I use this card on line all the time with no problem. Annoying!

Easy as can be, with the best price out there, as usual (if not every time).
I always choose Alibris.com first because of experience.

I found the free shipping offer confusing. I thought I had to get to $50. But when I got to nearly $50, I could not understand what you were actually offering.
I always go to Alibris first because I have found this site the easiest to work with and the most responsive. I also sell through Alibris and have found Mike Feldman wonderfully helpful.

Classic literature in book form at a reasonable price is almost impossible to find anymore. On Alibris, I can find just about anything I want.

I do not like that the shipping cost can only be found by going into the expanded details about the purchase, but I won't pay full price since I will be giving it away when I am finished with it.
They had the book I wanted at a good price.
Date of experience: March 11, 2021
I had trouble with the site. It wouldn't update. Especially changing my password and address. It took 3 hours of logging back in to redeem the order because the order wouldn't update.
I'm a past customer. Great service in the past.
