Website very slow. Received an error message 3 times when trying to check out that the site was slow and I should try again later.
Textbooks I needed were available and most affordable hardcopies I could find

Mobile version is not the best for choosing quality or type of book preferred. Eg. Paperback vs hardback, and like new vs very good
Cheaper price and reusing books

Have used Alibris several times over the last 20 years, always very prompt shipping, items as described. My go to site for hard to find books.
Usually find what I'm looking for.

Easy to use & process - should the gift book for my wife arrive brand new & not damaged that fifth star will be well deserved.
Simply came up on-line & advertised a secured transaction.

Coupons rarely can be used in many cases since often the shopping is for just one or two books and falls short of the minimum requirements.
Longtime customer, inertia and habit.

Your web site is easy to use and I like being able to easily compare different options for books, new, used, electronic. Thank you!

Good experience! Books are just gone so fast. I don't get a chance to buy the one I chose sometimes because it becomes no longer available.
Option provided by school and have used Alibris before

Easy to use choices in the UI flow. Search for books was fast/efficient. Haven't received yet but hopefully will receive quickly and in tact.

VERY PLEASED :) Easy to navigate site and found book I have been searching for (in hardcover) plus a second one also priced lower than elsewhere. I'll be back to shop again.

Shopping wad easy, however, since this was a gift I would have preferred an area where the one time shipping information could have been entered.
Availability, convenience and pricing.

Easy to locate a rare book through a large catalogue. The payment process was simple and I had no issues setting up an account.
I was fortunate to find the rare book I was looking for in very good condition available for the best price on the internet at Alibis.

I have never had any problems with any of my orders. They arrived timely and as stated in ads. Wish shipping was a little cheaper

Reason for 4 instead of 5 stars: No results at all on title search for "Cod", teh system wanted to complete it as "code" or whatever.
Reliable source, great prices.
