A "Sort" and/or "Filter" option so don't have to hunt down the "Like New" or "Very Good" books. Either that or sort them in order from New/Like New to Good initially
Needed a book for research..

The $5 coupon promised when I sign up did not mention that there was a $50 minimum purchase. Felt slighted by that.

The alternative cost comparison feature is great. It made it where I was able to add a couple more books. Thank you!

It's my go-to place.
Date of experience: October 10, 2021
Easy and the price is right….although I did hope to save shipping costs by ordering both books from the same dealer/seller.
Because I was happy the first time I used Alibris!
Date of experience: May 3, 2023
Your order process was a little confusing, but I am 82 years old, so not a computer whiz. Otherwise rated as good.
I have purchased from you for several years and service has always been good

Would like to see a ship to address as this is a gift, which means I have to ship it again
Date of experience: December 30, 2020
Alibris had a visible place in search listings, and a decent price. So long as shipping isn't glacial, then I'll be happy
Price was acceptable
Date of experience: August 23, 2021
Alibris is my first choice when it comes to out of print books, or older books. Such a reliable source. Thank you.

Looking for a high-demand book on Ukraine
Date of experience: April 9, 2022
Found what I was looking for, a DVD long out of print and not easy to come by, especially new. Easy transaction.
Web search for the item I was searching for. Have bought books via Alibris in the past.
Date of experience: March 28, 2021
I really like the bargain buying option. It saved me over $20.00 because I was able to take advantage of free shipping.
Best prices and selection.
Date of experience: October 17, 2021
I had to make a return, which was easy enough, and now am re-ordering the same book as well as another one.
I can always find the out-of-the-ordinary books I need!
Date of experience: March 31, 2022
Easy peasy! And a little Irish luck with a coupon!
Alibris had the book I needed -- which is usually the case when it comes to something my local indie can't get!
Date of experience: March 17, 2022
My local indie bookstore put me on to alibris some years ago -- and it's been a never-fail option ever since!
I was looking for Irish and British authors, one book I've been looking for quite awhile, Walking Away -- the other two were recommended by a poet friend, So it was a hat trick on alibris!
Date of experience: April 11, 2021
I dont like the idea of having to save my credit card on your site without being able to place an order.
Date of experience: July 21, 2021
It was all good until I had to enter my new shipping address three times. It should be fine next time. Thanks.
