The web interface for changing a shipping address is difficult to navigate to, particularly if you entered it incorrectly the first time.
ABE is owned by amazon now, so looking for alternatives.

Wish there were more large print books available. Updating my payment information was frustrating - seemed as if there were some systems issues.
Want to read the same book as a friend and don't want to be pressured by library due date

Quick and easy. I used to compare price with other dealers but abandoned that long ago. Outstanding value in price and service.

I haven't received anything. The first 10 percent would be wonderful if I receive what I have ordered in good order. Thanks
Because you had the book.

Great selection of books and other media. I have bought from other sellers on this site before and never had a problem.

Lowest price for same book.

I like your website. Some of the sellers are shady trying to charge $21.82 for shipping. And $7.00 for shipping. Overall satisfied.
Shopped here many times before
Date of experience: September 9, 2021
Extremely user-friendly process to browse, choose, and check out.
This isn't my first purchase, and I know it won't be my last.:-)
Alibris offers a cookbook I want at a competitive price.

I was trying to shop as a guest without creating an account or password and you made me create an account anyway.
It had the book I needed in the condition I wanted.
Date of experience: March 9, 2023
Very easy to shop for what I needed. Good details on the condition of the books. I'd shop here again.
Thank you.
Came up on a google search for a book I needed for Bible study.

First time here and the process went very well and easy. We will have to wait and see how shipping goes. Thanks,

The quality of my books has been great. Also, I've found children's books here that I haven't been able to find elsewhere.

Prefer working with used book sellers and NOT Amazon!
Date of experience: October 9, 2021
The price of the books are so low I don't mind paying extra for shipping. It all works out in the end.
Came up on search engine

Your website is not that easy to use. If I didn't really want this book I would have gone to another source.
Because Amazon was the only other source.

Because I had one omission on my order, I had to begin again. Why not simply have me insert the missed data?
Respected vendor and low price.
Date of experience: January 25, 2023
Alibris program was helpful in replacing my forgotten password. The price for the used Very Good condition book I ordered was fantastic!
Email from Alibris. Compared prices for this used book with Amazon, and Alibris was a LOT better.

Found the books I was looking for - but had to keep several tabs open so the cart would stop resetting to zero
Had all of the booksI was looking for in one location
Date of experience: September 4, 2022
Found what I was looking for. Created a new account. Somewhere in the process I lost my $5 bonus for signing up.
Thankful someone told me that, unlike Abebooks.com, you are not an Amazon clone.

Great--but it was confusing that the deduction for Super Value Shipping does not appear until the last step of checkout payment.
Cheaper than Amazon; not yet a giant, almost-monopoly like Amazon. I hope Amazon does not own Alibris.
Date of experience: January 28, 2023
Loved the new feature (at least to me) that looked for a similar book at a lower cost before placing my order.
I have used it in the past and had great success in getting what I am looking for. I really like the detail in the descriptions and that a picture of the book is usually included, especially if I am looking to replace a book in a series.
Date of experience: May 17, 2022
I love to see pictures of the actual books I am ordering. I recommend your site to all my book-loving friends.
From past experience, I can usually find what I am looking for and the descriptions are super helpful.
Date of experience: December 1, 2021
Super easy to use and your sellers are good about posting photos or answering inquiries about a specific book.
I have been pleased with my past experiences.

First order with Alibris, smooth and easy. Now we will see how the rest of the transaction proceeds.
So far so good,
Best price by far and shipping is reasonable.

I had a little difficulty checking out, but I eventually was able to check out and place my order.

For their low priced and high quality books that are sometimes hard to find elsewhere
Date of experience: January 16, 2022
Quick and easy to find the titles I was looking to purchase. Lots of ones to chose from within each title, too.
Ease of use and it's not Amazon.
Date of experience: October 27, 2021
Good service, the site was easy to navigate and make my purchase. The site could use a bit of more 'flare' however.
Best price and availability for the purchase I made.
Date of experience: March 24, 2022
My shopping experience was excellent. I found a book I've been looking for, at a reasonable price. Checkout was quick and easy.
An Alibris seller offered a book I've wanted for some time, in like-new condition, at a fair price. I'm glad to have an online book-buying alternative to Amazon.
