This is the only site that charges shipping. Just raise the prices so you can. It seems very misleading.
I needed a textbook.

Quick, Easy, and Simple. Alibris is a wonderful place to buy gently used books for students and readers alike.
It’s the best place to find cheap text books that are the correct edition and in good condition.

Easy to navigate - much faster and easier than Ebay. I will definitely use again when I need more textbooks.
They had the books I need.

My only complaint is that a password is required. Who can remember passwords for everything? Otherwise, it's all good.
Price - only had a small amount left on my gift card.

I almost always go to Alibris first

Straightforward easy to use; final review will be when I receive the book within the time estimated by Alibris
Date of experience: January 7, 2022
If you are going to charge out the $#*! for shipping, don't advertise it as $2.99 in the description.
This site used to offer used book at a good price with reasonable shipping costs, but not anymore.

I always choose Alibris before I look anywhere else!

Today's experience has been good so far! My last experience was the first that kind of went sideways and it is still a little sketchy from where sit. However, over time I have been extremely happy with the excellent service from Alibris. My order today is the second attempt to order a particular title and I am assuming that it will go well this time. Thank You!
I always look here first!

Shopping at alibris is always pleasant and waiting for the books to arrive is like waiting to open birthday presents!
Where else would there be such selection?

It is always the first place I look when I am looking for a book or a movie
Date of experience: September 5, 2021
On checkout the state selection requires 2 letter code but lets me type in full state name, then errors.
Prefer to avoid Amazon for books.
Date of experience: January 9, 2022
Some of the shipping charges are outrageous. I have never experienced this before and have been ordering for years.
Have order books for years.

These are being ordered for my adult children so I wish I could have shipped to their individual addresses
Good place to shop
Date of experience: August 11, 2022
User friendly with detailed descriptions made it easy for me to find a book that is difficult to locate.
You all had the book I needed and no other major site had it.
Date of experience: March 1, 2021
Found what I was looking for quickly and easily at a fair price. Checkout is super easy and convenient.
I buy frequently from Alibis because I am often looking for something obscure or out of print. I find this site super easy to use, very trustworthy and reliable. Today I was searching for an older dvd; I almost always find what I’m looking for on Alibis and then some. The sellers descriptions are accurate and the shipping is timely. In some cases I can buy the book or cd I’m looking for new which allows me to support the author or artist and avoid Amazon, which makes me extra happy!

I've purchased from Alibris before and have been satisfied with the selection of titles, options for quality, and prices.
Lowest price for this book.
Date of experience: March 26, 2022
I found the books I needed quickly and was able to checkout as a guest without any additional hassle.
Alibris was listed as a used book partner for my local book store. Thought I would give it a try.
Date of experience: April 22, 2021
I've been using alibris for many years, and I always find what I'm looking for, even some obscure titles.
I love that you provide a way for small businesses to sell items, and that you're NOT AMAZON. There is always a great selection.

Happy about my last purchase and looking forward to these new arrivals. The ordering layout is easy to navigate.

Website easy to use but it would be nice to know shipping cost on the selected book before purchasing.
Because this website has a greater selection from multiple sources.
Date of experience: February 25, 2023
One step at a time, of course.
Agreed to $9.99 Shipping Cost.
Invoice = $14.99 after click to buy.
I came across the vendor on-line. Try it out.
Date of experience: September 25, 2021
It was user-friendly. It would make me feel better to see the standard lock that indicates a secure website.
