Many books that are rare I can find on here at a decent price. Shipping is a bit costly though, hence the 4/5 stars.
Good books at fair pricing.

I would like my password to appear automatically, not have to type it in. Why is my original password no good?

I would like to have my acct page bro't up to date so that I don't have to look up my password each time I order. This is about my 50th request for this. Is anybody home?

On my account page, why can't my password be entered properly? I have to look up my password each time and enter the correct one. Could you guys correct that finally?

Why cna't I have my correct password noted on my sign in page?
I always choose Alibris first even tho you won't put my password on my sign in page

My listed password on the accounts page never works and I always need to exit and change it. I don't know why this is happening. Ordering always was so easy. What has happened?
I always go there first

Why has shipping gone up? Why do I have to enter everything three times? Why do I have to create a new account every time I order? Buying alibris used to be so easy

I ordered the Book of the Dun Cow for 1.99. For some reason after all the years I've been buying books from Alibris, my order data was compromised. When I got finished re entering my payment data, my order and the book were gone. I had to buy a different, more expensive book. I hope this doesn't happen again. Maybe I'm not buying enough books?
Price and convenience

Very effective. But some books do n0t contain the page numbers. Also coupons should be more user friendly and easier to secure
Repeat customer

Ordered these 2 books a few days ago and got cancellation notices, so I ordered them again just now. The process was smooth.
Date of experience: January 10, 2024
The procedure to renew my password erased my order information and I didn't see the same purchase options I had already selected. This dampens my enthusiasm for returning to your site.
I got here via BookFinder.

Based on information from your website before I placed my order, I expected free shipping. I got charged.
You had what I wanted, for a good price.

Have always had a good experience with Alibris. Wide selection of used books reasonable pricing and shipping.
Have used on and off for many years.

I was happy with the ordering and shipping of my book through Alibris. The delivery took ~ 2 days longer than I expected though.
I like the variety and quality of used books they sell...
Date of experience: March 26, 2024
Kind of disappointed. Not what I expected. Sparce foliage and smaller than expected. But I love the color
Date of experience: May 18, 2024
I have no remarks for now or in the future so thank you for shipping my book on time
I have no remarks for now

It's been fine but the shipping costs are much too high.
I've purchased used booked from Alibris before. Regarding the feedback agreement, I do not want my name used. If it is used I will not purchase anything from Alibris again.

Wonderful selection of Books and DVD's. And just love the prices. You are one of my favorite places to shop!
Very wide selection of Books and DVD's.

My favorite website to order books never disappoints me. Easy to use and more often than not has the book I need!
My favorite website for ordering books. I always look here first.
Date of experience: January 9, 2024
Love this website! It's my go to for any book need I have!
My first choice! I always search here for any book.
Date of experience: January 5, 2023
It is completely annoying that when a category is selected the available items are randomly listed. They should be alphabetical.
Had a DVD I was searching for.

I would have liked my shopping cart to not empty when I went through the sign-in and forgotten password loops.
I felt there was a high probability of finding the book I was looking for, rather than an altered reprint.
Date of experience: January 28, 2024
Getting logged in and changing my password and then not finding the items I was interested in without searching all over and still not finding the original seller, well, it was a hassle. One of the original books I never found in the condition I wanted.
I had made a list of books from my collection which I am missing, and found some more by the same author.
Date of experience: August 19, 2023
Great price for a very good condition used book. Easy to fill in credit card data and name and address.
Price was great
Date of experience: January 28, 2024
Other than Amazon, this book was hard to find but my local small bookstore recommended Alibris and it was pretty easy from there.
Because of a recommendation from a small bookstore here and the fact that I hate Amazon.
Date of experience: January 6, 2024
I usually shop for books on ebay but this is every bit as easy so I will consider shopping with Alibris now!
I got a coupon and it reminded me of your business.
Date of experience: January 7, 2024
The cost of the book is so complicated between tax coupon shipping and dealoz cashback. Not straightforward. Shipping on Dealoz not same as on Alibris
Lowest price on Dealoz

Needed to find cheap books

Fast and Easy. I gave you my email however I never got the $5 credit gift at checkout. There was no promo code
You have the books i wanted

Great selection & best prices for popular chef's cookbook. Will return again & also recommend to friends. Thank you so very much.
Google search.
Date of experience: January 3, 2024
Poor website design, difficult to use on Android (links intermittently don't work). Loss of connection loses the link to an extant orderable book.
It's the place I can find the book I need

Found a used book in adequate condition for a very competitive price and then saved another $1 with promotion. Thank you
Googled book and author. Alibris had best price.
Date of experience: January 8, 2024
Very user-friendly site. I was able to see condition of book, the original sale price along with the price i'd pay and shipping costs. No surprises.
Found almost by accident. Alibris has never popped up before when i've looked for a book--what is your niche?
Date of experience: November 14, 2022
Easy and quick and I add words because you require 50 characters
Used books are cheaper and part of the reuse economy
Date of experience: June 24, 2024
I am always caught off guard by the low cost of the books and the high cost of shipping!
I support the used book economy for environmental and budgetary reasons
Date of experience: September 14, 2023
Site is relatively easy to use. Thanks! But 10 dollars in books has 18 dollars in shipping? Wow!
I like to support used book sellers
Date of experience: December 3, 2021
I am happy to support re-sale of used books! And I needed to find several books not easily obtainable locally, used.
Date of experience: October 18, 2021
Relatively easy to use, happy to be directed to used book sellers nationwide
Used books save me money, re-purpose books no longer wanted elsewhere (environmental)
Date of experience: September 1, 2021
The Alibris website surreptitiously signs one into their mailing list rather than having customers opt in. Let the buyer beware!
I have had enough of Amazon, too much actually.
