Was a bit confusing at one point but saw that there was no doubling of the charges and felt much better.

Great prices but shipping adds up when ordering several books. You should have a lower shipping for more than 1 book.

It is easy to navigate this site. Lots of options for sellers, new/used, condition, amazing selection. Thanks for the coupons, too!
I get the coupons weekly & usually have to restrain myself but today I needed a little retail therapy.

Very good. Only improvement is to show shipping and taxes earlier in the process
Really like the "guest" option for ordering.
Best price on book with the best condition (very good).

Can't really rate something that hasn't happened yet. After it is delivered is a better time to ask for an opinion.
It came up in a search for a book I seek

I hate these "rate your experience" things! You have always had great service! Why are you paying for this bull$#*! survey?

Couldn't have been simpler! Congratulations and Thank You!
Always seek independents. Have used AbeBooks and Alibris

It's been a great experience I've bought my books from alibris for about a month now and I'm enjoying every order
I recently found out about alibris and I've enjoyed ordering from you guys ever since my first order. I always find the books I'm looking for and at much better prices than in retail stores.

My shopping experience was fine. But I don't like the fact that I had to use 10 characters in this message!

So far have loved it. Got our first two movies the other day both work great so ordered 5 more today.
Got good movies last time.

Quick, easy. Good information on the book's condition. Of course I won't know how accurate it is until the book comes.
Google search turned up the book I was looking for, and you aren’t Amazon.

It was easy to search for books and there was a large selection. Also, Alibris provided better prices than other sites!
I needed a large number of books for my next class.

Annoyed with paying my book took me 10 minutes, i had to updated my credit card but satisfied at the end
Books are cheaper on alibris
Date of experience: April 15, 2021
I have been using alibris.com for years. It is economical, reliable and easy to use; however, shipping is a bit high.
Library did not have what I wanted.

Worked well... a bit of a hassle changing shipping / billing address -- but that goes along with the territory. No major problems.
Looking for less expensive versions of books...

Sometimes your movies are more expensive...but your service is so much better that I find it pays in the long run.

Easy to search for books by subject. I enjoy the suggested books that pop up after a selection has been made.
I have used Alibris before and trust your company to deliver my order.

Email coupon, but I was not able to use it

Im here mostly to see what super cheap art books I can find, more refined categories would be helpful I think.

Needed to know how you shipped usps, ups, fedex and could not get anyone to answer the phone number on contact.
Date of experience: March 9, 2021
Superb service and large inventory and rock bottom prices; that's why I keep coming back to purchase "out of print" books!
Date of experience: February 3, 2022
Nice to have a non-Amazon book clearinghouse online. At the same time, these are the many bookshops we know and love.
A book to read to my grandchild.

Tip from a friend on a particular book.
Date of experience: March 29, 2021
You said sign up for a $5. Discount then once done it says you need to purchase $50 or more. Misleading.
