Alibris nearly always has what I'm looking for, even when I'm occasionally looking for something out of print - such a wonderful site for bibliophiles!
Good holiday coupon and I knew the site would have what I was looking for

Didn't get my up to $5 off my first order when signing up for txts. I didn't expect it to come off shipping but to get the book for free would have been nice.
A friend recommended a book from you

It has always been a good experience ordering from Alibris. I've been doing business here for several years and no issues to report.
Saw an ad for a dvd I was searching for.

Alibris uses an exceedingly simple webpage format. The ordering process is smooth. The prices are UNBEATABLE across the web, and I have found it to be a good source for hard-to-find books.
Best price for my book search.

As usual, fast, East, and dependable. And best of all, it doesn't support Amazon.

I ordered a book and paid for it however the told me that book wasn't available so I got a replacement. I hope they credit my account for the first book.

Prefer buying pre-owned books but anti-Amazon when possible
Date of experience: April 14, 2021
I struggled to change the shipping address. I should be able to change it at checkout, not make the address part of a wishlist, which was the only way I could set up the the correct address.
Date of experience: September 18, 2021
I wish that the free-shipping books showed up correctly totaled before the final screen. Instead, shipping is added to all the books, and only at the final screen, the free shipping is applied.
I shopped for years at Amazon, but often, the pricing is better at Alibris.
Date of experience: January 7, 2024
When I submitted the order to Paypal, it included shipping charges for all the items, even though all but one item were eligible for free shipping. It was only AFTER I left the original screen that the price reflected corrected shipping charges. This is particularly annoying to not see an accurate amount being sent to Paypal.
I've used Alibris many times before. The website use to show the daily coupons immediately, but now, the customer has to search and search to locate them.
