I was so excited about getting my books I forgot to put in the code word soda. Is it too late to do that?
I have ordered from you guys recently and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Confused when trying to negotiate your web site. Might have a better time of it nest time. Thought the shipping was a little exorbitant.
Bought here before.

It's a little too early to tell... I think it would be best if you sent out a survey after I receive my book.

You are a bit redundant on requests for information. Take lessons from eBay -- Please. I almost stopped order as you asked for unnecessary "stuff".
Less expensive.

I ordered and paid for a copy of the book that turned out (3 days later) to be unavailable; a strange and disappointing experience.

Very nice! I managed to pick up the super-rare Myers Openings Bulletin, Volume 1, #2 and #4, as well as the extremely rare index.
Needed to finish purchasing.

I found the format easy to follow and managed to order a number of copies of 3 titles in less time than I'd expected.
Because you had titles that I couldn't find in multiple copies elsewhere.

Alibris has the textbook that I am looking for almost all of the time. The prices are reasonable and they have a huge selection.

I forgot about Alibris as a go to source for my library additions. Even when paying for shipping, I saved over half from Amazon.
Gave it a try because I was reminded by an email from Alibris.

First time user! Found what I was looking for and checkout was a breeze! Now it's just a waiting game… hoping alibris/seller comes through!
They had what I was looking for :)

Please try to make certain all my items actually arrive this time. Since I apparently have no recourse to resolve items which do not.
I'm wondering myself.

I have never had a problem buying from Alibris. Everything is in the condition I expect, things ship when it sellers say they'll ship.
I prefer buying used books if possible. These are good quality for the price.

Super quick and easy to use, and very affordable text books. Just ordered so hopefully the book arrives on time and in good condition.

I think your shipping rates for a book and a DVD are out of line. Could you please send at media or book Rate?
An online search found the DVD that I was hoping to purchase and send to my sister-in-law who loves chickens.

There was no place to put my coupon. So I've had to check out twice now to without getting the advertised discount. Not cool.
You had the books I was looking for.

I entered a password but I can't tell whether an account was created for me; I expected confirmation. Second attempt had the same (non)-result..
Lowest price for what I wanted.

Great descriptions on used books, great prices as well. New books also priced nicely in comparison to places like B & N and Walmart.

First time ordering. Was a little surprised at the extra charges of shipping ($3.99 per book) and tax at the end, unlike Amazon Prime.
Friend referral. Child starting high school in private school this Fall. Looking for discounted books.

Very easy to look up books, see a selection of what is available and by price and shipping fees. Easy checkout. Will use again
Price of book that I was wanting. Even cheaper then Amazon.

I have always found the book(s) that I am looking for and your website is very easy to navigate from searching to checking out
It is a premier bookseller

It could not get much easier. Very straight forward process. A top flight operation for sure.
Because if you do not have it, it does not exist.

I have been so pleased with the savings and the promptness of deliveries. I am glad that a dear friend told me about Alibris!
Lower prices than I can find in other prices.

Getting the "promo" discount is confusing. I gave up on trying to get the "free" shipping or "$4" promo discount "Blossom".: where was it?
Ordered from it before. I don’t like buying from Amazon.

I cannot find these 3 books anywhere else and I work in a book store and have Amazon prime so this was really nice
The only place I could find these 3 books
