So far so good, but didn't like when the shipping cost tripled when I entered my Canadian address ;)

Quickly found exactly what I was searching for, and it is expected to arrive before Christmas, whereas the same thing on Amazon was not.
I chose Alibris because they are independent--and not Amazon! I'm trying as often as possible to purchase from sellers other than the giants.

The book I wanted was easy to find. There were several choices, with condition listed. Once I chose one, ordering was straightforward.
I choose Alibris most of the time when I'm looking for a used book. I appreciate the fact that it's not owned by Amazon.

Because it's not owned by Amazon. And because I've bought many books through Alibris, and it's always seamless.

It's quick and easy to order and pay for a book. All that's left is to wait for it to arrive.

Not user friendly. Difficult to get through the whole system when you're trying to buy something.
Book was cheaper

Alibris has never disappointed. Prices are good, delivery is excellent. I am a thoroughly satisfied customer.
I have used Alibris many times. It is always my go-to site when I need books.

I always come to Alibris first - you never fail to have what I need at prices I can manage.
When I was a seminary student I learned about your site and how valuable it is. Thank you!

I was satisfied with the service and the book was what I expected and it came on time and so I have no complaints.
You have the book I wanted had a price that was good.

I like it but even if I ship books form the same place I have to pay for shipping seperately and that's a bit sad.
I felt like it.

It is so smooth and easy for me, an old dummy (90 years old!) to open my account with you! Thank you!

Coupon not accessible and it was time consuming trying to order "error" couldn't check out as guest. Just cut order short to end this process.
Used before and book was better price.

I appreciate the fact that you ship overseas. Libraries are rarer outaide the West, so it is crucial to be able to order from abroad.
For overseas shipment, reasonable price and the book being a fomer library copy.

I ordered this book a few days ago. I don't know why the order was canceled, but I am glad that there is another available.
I prefer not to make purchases from billionaires,

Not sure. I looked up book, but had to change y password. When I went back to place order the used $4 priced wasn't available.

I ordered a B&W version of this book and need to cancel it since I am now ordering the COLOR version... hope Alibris can cancel my first order. :)

Thankyou for a ministry. Love Lifted Me. God's genuine love in this book and constant truth of this memoir spurs on to our Godgiven destiny.
For this and other books that are interesting.

Shipping is too high. Coupons on paper slip with shipment too hard to keep track of; they should be on my account
Only US source

8 minutes after Alibris sent a $5 coupon, it said the coupon expired. Customer service later told me the real issue was a minimum $50 purchase requirement, which was not mentioned or linked from the coupon. So this coupon was just clickbait, and the site message was erroneous and wasted my time.
Without coupons Alibris is usually good. They should re-think undermining their reputation with inaccurate coupon offers
Price, past experience

It was easy to find the book I was looking for AND the price was RIGHT! Very pleased to have access to used books again since all of book stores have been pretty much closed down-!
Price was fair and right for my wallet

Interaction with website was difficult had to play with it for a good twenty minutes before I was able to make my order

I love the fact that I can come to one website to find books and not look all over the Internet! Great service.
I have used you in the past to buy books.
