The book was well protected and as described. Delivery from the US to Europe was very fast, ahead of scheduled time. I do not have any complaints.
Because they had what I was looking for!

I'd open an account to "save time" next time but I CAN'T DEAL WITH ONE MORE PASSWORD!
So, this 76-yr-old gal will continue to shop as "guest". You guessed it!
Yours was the best price that came up after googling the book's title

I like the site, just don't order any books with the little delivery truck on them, they might not be in stock, even though they're listed.
So I didn't have to use amazon.

I enjoy getting books here, I feel better about supporting small independent book sellers rather than large business' (Amazon).
I've used Alibris for at least 15 years now.

My favorite source for books. I can find even technical books I need and choose the quality of book I desire.
Alibris had the book I was searching for and my library did not. I needed a new copy because I gave away the old one.

I had a lot of trouble correcting shipping and billing addresses and my credit card information. I think my credit card info has changed from what it was on file there.Been
I have been a long time customer and have ordered many books from Alibris

The book I was looking for came in Mint condition. I will continue to do business with Alibris in the future.
Lowest price
Date of experience: May 18, 2024
Pricing with shipping could be more transparent. Some offerings of free shipping didn't fit with some books.
Googled free shipping and it came up, but was disappointed when 90% of the books I ordered did not have free shipping.

Suggest you shorten your webpage checkout. Entering the name, address etc is not necessary when paying with Paypal. Figure out a fast track for success...
No idea,, you had the video I was seeking.

Great except would like explanation of how many books are actually in Bolitar's Game...book jacket indicates just one for Darkest Hour but is listed as three
Easy, good selection

Best selection

I was happy to find this textbook at Alibris. The price was decent and the shipping time was great.
They had the book in stock and offered a coupon.

Audiobook format should be added as a filter in the main search. Charging over $4 shipping per book is obscene - especially when it's not related to weight and has no upper limit.
I like the book selection.

Was at amazon first, but when googling jimi items, saw alibris had better prices... hope the quality of dvd's will be good. - God bless you all. - Respectfully, Vera

Never received book. Misplaced my order number so I'm screwed. They have conveniently blamed Covid-19 as rendering them incapable of contacting via phone.

Easy searching, good information on condition of used books. Check-out a little glitchy and no option for tax exempt purchase or institutional account.
Last resort for replacement library books.

I purchased books from this site through Amazon and was very pleased with the quality of books, packaging and quick delivery.
Prior purchase through HPB-Emerald was excellent. Decided to start here to locate other books.

I wanted to include a note about shipping. If charges change please let me know before shipping so I can authorize or cancel. Thanks
When I can’t find the book I need Alibris usually has it
Date of experience: April 19, 2024
I GET all these emails saying I will save money. It's a crock because I have to spend more money than I want to in order to have the coupon be worth something.
I thought I was going to get a deal but I was wrong.

You actually aren't to blame. My frustrations come from a long line of internet deterioration, offensive language by sellers, and complete breakdown of the process of getting information, personalized services, and satisfactory experience involved in buying things online or on the phone. You should cater the whole experience to your customers' satisfaction and ease, which 90-98% of online and telephone businesses no longer do. The internet has overused its usefulness and reason for being which was supposed to be blah blah blah speek and all that otaaher $#*!. Speed? It takes ridiculously long times just to get extremely simple and straightforward info or do some simple transaction, which negates all the benefits and then some. People are trained to think this is all necessary and this is the wave of the future rather than a tsunami that is flooding the whole city, town, and landscape. Ig's over unless we can curtail the unregulated use of health-damaging and reproduction-altering electromagnetics such as microwaves, wifi, dumb meters, and other such genocidal electromagnetic assault devices. People need to read up on this subject or suffer teh consequences of trusting anyone in a corporate board room, high position in government, or who is a soldier for these homicidal scammers.
I thought it might have the books I needed at a reasonable price and have decent customer service, but almost none do any more. No personal representative on a readilyu available phone line, without a damn 20min. Queue means you really dont' care about your customer which makes the message "because we care about you" twice as offensive and f*d up. No one that pushes their customer service overseas to people that can barely be deciphered at 1/4 or 1/5 our minimum wage gives a rat's $#*! about their customers and their business. Period. How did this come to be? Mission creep, I guess, but it's time to sdurn it back and get back to gold standard service and proud, shining businesses.

I have ordered 3 books from the US to be shipped to the UK in the last few months. 2 didn't arrive and one was cancelled immediately without explanation. Their international shipping uses the cheapest possible surface mailing company, and there is no tracking (available to the customer, or probably at all) past the US hub. Both books that were shipped as far as the US hub, and then were "lost". One was expensive and fairly rare (signed by Sir Edmund Hillary - the polar explorer). You cannot contact them regarding this delivery until after 45 days, when they immediately tell you it is "lost". Then they issue a refund. Their is no Customer Service at all. Generic responses all the way. This is not how you operate a service to either the buyer or seller - in both instances that the book has been lost, the sellers are equally perplexed and astounded by their (lack of) response or resolution.
BE WARNED - DON'T ORDER FROM US TO UK UNLESS YOU PLAY THE LOTTERY AND OFTEN WIN - check out reviews from other UK buyers with international deliveries.
I have added an image to reflect my opinion of the people they employ.

So far doing and placing my order was very streamlined and easy. I am so looking forward to receiving this book Finding Alaska: the Life and Art of Shannon Cartwright by Shannon Cartwright and Dashka Stater
It has been so hard to locate this book via various sellers - very disappointing; however, Alibris offered Book Fetch to help find this book and I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at my email just now indicating you located a copy for me. I ordered it immediately. Thank you

You had the book I was looking for that is out of print. I know there will be several thousand people looking for it now as it was mentioned on Relevant Radio on the Patrick Madrid Show.
It had a high satisfaction rate
