Great shopping but I think your sale/coupon offers should allow more time before they expire; I usually get only one or two daysgreat
Because you claim to be independent

Have shopped on alibris many times for several years. Experience albways excelleint. Like fact that you don'e use annoying captcha questions and images, since they are difficult to answer correctly.
Alibris has always completed my order with eccellent result.

Little confusing on where to click originally to see the books available. Like they were listed with no prices and wasn't sure if that was it or not.

Amazon and Walmart.com owere too high on my budget of $42. I did not spend that much, so I am good with this site.
Others were too high, and me on a fixed income.

Everything was pretty seemless, decently priced and detailed if the objects arrive just as they described than a 5 star might just be on its way.
Dungeons and dragons is expensive and thankfully the prices here seem decent even for “like new” books, even used from places like EBay and even retail resells are like 30 bucks

As always, Alibris has an unequaled selection of new/used books and texts to choose from and, in many instances, the pricing is quite reasonable.
Looking for slightly used texts on geology, and earth science in general, as well as books on rock collecting. Alibris has a nice selection. I am surprised that some of the listings are priced four to five times the current selling price for a book that is still available at retail. I was not looking for rare books/texts.

This was one of the simplest and most rewarding online buying experiences I've had. I found the book I wanted and had multiple options to buy it.

I wish I could buy your books for what you list them at, but there is always taxes and shipping that increases the cost alot.
It was the cheapest price I could find.

It wasn't really hard to do, wasn't complicated or anything. I was literally just looking for these books and found them so that's that.
It was cheap and they had hardcover

When I purchase books for my classes, I usually buy them from alibris, because they are priced affordably and the service is great quality.

Shops at Alibris is ales wuick and easy.

Couldn't view second item in cart until I was checked out. It just stated that I had 2 items while showing the first CD.
Had what I wanted, and I could get ‘em from the same vendor (don’t know if it saved me any $$, but thought it might).

Easily found the book I was looking for & was able to find a softcover used one in good condition at an amazing price.
Looking for a specific book for a church Bible study. Checked other places & Alibris had the best price. I heard about Alibris from my church's Director of Family Ministry.

One NEVER cancel a confirmed order as simple as that. No compensation for extra work and hazzle. Poor job guys! On top discount code option removed.
Easy to order i thought.,, proved to be wrong.

Prices were great and the site was pretty easy to use. I would like a wishlist option or save for later that was easily accessible though.
I was trying to find the best prices for my college textbooks and this site popped up.

I've bought a handfull of books from alibris over the last couple of years. Nothing bad to say about them. It's all been good.
Date of experience: January 26, 2021
Was good, a few glotches. But with persistence I got it to go through. Hopefully the book arrives quick and is in good condition.
They had the book I wanted in hard bound.

I never heard of Alibris before. Much less expensive than where I had these books saved on a wishlist, even with the other's free shipping.
Price. Found Googling some book titles.
Date of experience: March 26, 2022
It would be great if you offered free shipping like thriftbooks. I only used your site as they didn't have the book I was looking for.

The only concern is have is that there wasn't an option to rush my order. Class has already begun and i could use this book immediately.
I have purchased books in the past
Date of experience: August 26, 2022
I wish there was clearer info on the editions of each book, and what the covers look like, etc. Sometimes it is a bit confusiong.
I chose Alibris because I am tired of Amazon shipping me books that are bent on the corners. I am hoping to find an retailer that can get me books in perfect condition. So far my results with Alibris have been mixed, but I will continue to give Alibris a shot, since I do not want to order from Amazon.

OK. I missed putting in my 3 digit code and had to retype my credit card number which is annoying, but happens elsewhere too
They had the book I wanted, at the price I wanted, and i don't have to go to amazon, and it is at a Goodwill store!
