I love how affordable the books are and the variety of books to choose from. I just wish shipping wasn't so high, but I also know shipping is out of y'all's control.
It’s cost is lower than other sites

Excellent but for wanting to increase my order. In changing it from 1 book to get the 3 you have in stock, I lost the order. Then I had to retype everything.

I had recieved a book as a gift and my dogs found it first and ruined it for me. So I decided to order a new one. I was happy to find it here at a great price! Feeling better about my book!

Good except it didn't allow my 5 dollar off coupon which I was planning on using due to money is tight because I'm on disability and a strict income and I was buying the movies for my grandkids.

You really need to take off the Captcha coming from Goodreads. Alibris is now the last place I check because of the awkwardness of accessing your site from Goodreads.
Because other outlets didn't have it.

I think if you order movies from the same seller you should get a discounts on shipping. $4.99 for each item is expensive.
Nice prices on movies and books

The shopping experience I had was amazing! I had searched for a Benjamin Banneker book for years and was unable to find one in print. Also, the offer for a $300 yearly coupon was too good to pass up.

Alibris has a very user friendly web site. Excellent packaging and quick shipping - very reasonable prices for materials and shipping. What more could a booklover want?
I knew I'd have a good chance of finding what I was looking for. Alibris is always my first choice when I'm looking for books.

When I left the order screen to check a review of Alibris, I lost access to my order on my Android. When I started over, it did find my order, but it should have remained visible.
A Google search for the book I needed

Purchased a CD from Alibris that certainly wasn't cheap, instead I got sent a dirty, broken cassette tape. Emailed Alibris, no response for 3 weeks.
I messaged their Facebook page and got an instant response (I initially asked a sales-related question and funnily enough they replied almost instant because they obviously didn't know it was me contacting them to complain), I then mention my issue and that I have been ignored and the advisor palms me off to their "email team"…
About 10 minutes later I receive an email from "Ryan Warner" a rude worker who claimed "they never received" my original message and then he rather condescendingly sent me a link to where I "should have" contacted them… The irony is, it's the same link I used originally 3 weeks ago! I mentioned this to Ryan and even sent him a screenshot of Alibris acknowledging receipt of my enquiry and guess what? Ryan didn't mention it again (or bother to apologise) when I exposed his lies, he just threw a measly £4 coupon at me hoping I would go away… Well here I am
Alibris employees - How about you don't ignore peoples messages for 3 weeks and then claim you never received them instead of just being honest and apologising.
Shocking service and I'm spreading the word far and wide.

I visit Alibris only occasionally, and have for 30 years, and with this visit I see why I keep coming back. What I need is here, and easy to get.

It was difficult initially to find the book by the IBSN, but once google'd the site popped up. The site is easy to use and like other related book options that relate to topic.
