It's so nice to beable to get books much cheaper. But, the postage is high. I know that can't be helped.
Good company with lower price books.

Love the fact that I'm getting not only preowned books but at really great prices as well! Sustainability at its finest!
I always want to look for other book buying resources besides the big companies that aren’t too sustainable, so Alibris always helps me out with that!

I paid extra for expedited shipping, it did not come at the expected time. Once I got the item it was exactly as listed.

Availability of a wide variety of genre are why I keep coming back And the delivery times aren't half bad either!

Your minimum requirement of $50 is too high. I'm on SSI and funds are very limited to pay full shipping prices

Second time ordering a book was not disappointed the first time so I am going to be using Albris more often
Easy to find what I need

Pay Dirt: Farming and Gardening with Composts. It shows 2.99 shipping, yet
Tries charging me 6.98 shipping! I canceled that book.
Because until today I believed I could trust you guys--now, I am not sure about that.

Great service. Timely customer service. Affordable import to Canada.
Wasn't sure if it was still getting routed to Canada, clerk confirmed it was despite the tracking (tracking did not work past international shipping centre)
Nobody else carried the book.

Easier done than said so far...
Some of your titles have been out of print.

Alibris always provides good service. They have what Amazon doesn't. I need to remember to start with Alibris when looking for used books.
When I couldn't find the book I knew was "out there" in used format on Amazon, I decided to give Alibris a try. From now on, I need to START with Alibris when looking for used books

I have to be careful, shopping on-line thru Albris is too easy. I was blown away by automatic consolidated shipping option!

I found these books on another distributed book vendor's site but couldn't get their website to accept my credit card.
Google sent me here when I tried to find Hippo Books.

The last time I ordered from you I didn't get the Trial of Apollo Book 3, I never got it, and I had paid for it. I'm hoping I get my whole order this time
I used you once before, if I don't get all my books this time, I will probably never order from you again

Book is described as fine, like new. Hopefully, it will meet those criteria and be free of mold, mildew, and odor.

Generally it has been very good shopping with Alibris. A few instances where an item has turned out to be unavailable, but that is understandable in the used book market. I am 99% satisfied with my many purchases.
Because you allow me to find the books that I am looking for.
Date of experience: January 30, 2021
The needed information was clear and easy to check or UNcheck as it were. I did not feel like something was trying to get one past me.
Thank You
I hate the Amazon monopoly.

As usual, Alibris had the book I wanted in the edition I wanted. This is the case very often--and I buy a lot of books.
I love Alibris. It's my FIRST - and often only- stop when buying books

My shopping experience was great, I wished there was a FLAT SHIPPING RATE VS BEING CHARGED 4.99 FOR EAH BOOK THAT SUCKS. ALIBRIS DO BETTER ON YOUR SHIPPING RATES
It was the better deal
