It looks like you have fair pricing and fair shipping fees.
It was one of the cheaper priced dvd's

This is my go to for those hard to find titles. Needed this text badly for research and found it right away, at a good price, and delivered quickly.
They had multiple copies of what I needed for my research and all at great prices.

I love how much I save! I forgot my code this order otherwise I would have paid less for all 4 books I purchased than buying one on Amazon!
Recommendation from one of my children's teacher

Shipping is a bit much but that's more on the seller I would presume
Pretty good prices

Site was easy to navigate. And I'm happy to find a new book at this price through a smaller company (rather than a huge one). Glad to support you!
My independent bookstore in my town recommended you, since they were not able to get this book.

I don't see anywhere in my account info to change/add/delete a billing address or CC info. This seems to only be available during a purchase checkout. PLEASE CHANGE THIS.
It's basically a "not Amazon" choice.

I was able to order both books I was looking for from the same buyer, their names being in bold made it easy to match on each book's page.
The prices from Amazon seemed to be inflated, so I immediately thought of Alibris for a better price.

Shipping is a negative experience. I thought buying from one seller would reduce costs but it really didn't.
I love this site. It is my go to for used books. Downside is different sellers increase shipping costs and as I found out today, even same seller has huge shipping cost.

Alibris Always Delivers! I can usually find what I need (want) quickly and in great condition here. Easy to use and easy to pay. What can be better?
I wanted to find an old movie that was not available for streaming.
Date of experience: July 28, 2022
Easy to use and extensive selections of great books in outstanding condition. I have been using this site for years and really appreciate the sellers who are here. They are so helpful even going as far as looking in older cookbooks for me to see if a recipe I remembered was in there since the publishers frequently change their content in newer editions!
Wanted to get another cookbook but didn't even want to pay the sale price at America's Test Kitchen. Found it here and with shipping I still saved!
Date of experience: February 11, 2022
Absolutely the Best! I can always find a much loved and lost book. Sellers are more than helpful in trying to pinpoint them as well. Thank you!
Was intrigued by the Gourmet Cookie Book and have lost my Dog Cookie book. Thankfully you had both!

Has everything I look for.

This was the first time I had purchased a book on this site so I had to register as a new user and make payment which proved remarkably painless.
The book I was looking for was at a reasonable price compared to other sites

Ali dis is my go to place for used and hard to find books. Sellers have always been courteous and protect their books as if they were their children
Date of experience: February 1, 2022
A bit frustrated at the shipping. It would be nice if the site could indicate if a bookseller had all the books I was looking for in single seller.
The school recommended you:-)

I kept trying to put my cc details in and your site kept not taking them. So, I had to go thru PayPal. Just frustrating in the checkout process.
Couldn't find this book anywhere! Not bookshop or amazon or barnes and noble. Thank you! You guys really came through!

I was in a hurry to find the book I needed and get it ordered. I did all that in less than five minutes, and they have good prices.
I needed the book I ordered for health reasons, and chose Alibris. I've ordered before and trust them, along with having good prices. Simple as that.

Always a good experience with Alibris though I am less profligate with book
Purchases than in former times.

It is a good experience. I just have to learn how to delete the old Visa. That will make things easier. But I managed to order what I wanted today.
I think they have access to interesting books that can be shipped from reliable source. Mostly they books arrive in the condition described so I trust them.

I have used previously and was satisfied with service.

It was not too difficult. I have some eye problems and not to savvy with tech items but alibris is something I can handle.
Date of experience: April 1, 2022
The book I wanted had limited availability
Date of experience: January 17, 2022
I wish the descriptions were not so generic. I have to return a book and reorder another that has more details to make sure it has the dust cover.
Love the chance to purchase books from so many vendors, all in one place.
Date of experience: July 31, 2023
Easily found all the books I wanted. Very glad to see so many booksellers available
Only site that had 10 of 11 books in a series. Abe had the other book.

Since i had not signed in yet, my cart was erased about an hour after I put in my last book. Please keep the cart active a little longer.
Because last time I ordered from abeboooks, and the expected delivery time was one month, even though they were shipping from the US and had the book on the shelf.

I typed in the book titles. Alibris had both books. I chose one of each, put in my cart, edited my payment method, hit Buy and I was done.
You have the titles I want at good prices.
Date of experience: August 17, 2022
I typed in the book title. The list of all the stores offering it popped right up. I chose the condition and price I wanted, went to Checkout, clicked OK wind was done, what could be easier?!
Date of experience: January 29, 2022
I typed in the title of the book i wanted, I reviewed the price and condition and picked one. A similar book was suggested and for $. 99 I figured why not get it. I proceeded to checkout it couldn't have been easier. In fact it has taken me long to type this review than it took to order my books. Love Alibris.
I chose Alibris because I knew I’d find what I wanted at an amazing price.

I really enjoy the accuracy of the site. Book covers are usually accurate, and so is book condition. I just wish gift options were available.
I was looking for competitive pricing.
Date of experience: November 25, 2023
Cheaper than Amazon!
Date of experience: February 17, 2021
Took way too long. Wanted to checkout as a guest but not allowed to due to an existing account I haven't used for over a decade. What a pain!
Lowest price

I am re-purchasing this book as the previous one I bought for a birthday present came with the pages separate from the cover and I had to repair it.
