Too complicated and awkward, I felt. It could be that I was using my phone to place the order. Or it could have been me.
I have made purchases here before.

You have books by an author I just discovered. Finding them was easy, restraining myself from buying more was hard. Checkout was simple. Thank you.
I found you yesterday, looking for a special coloring book for my son.

Always a great selection with fantastic prices. Easy to navigate too. I don't always find what i want but more often than not I do.
Because I knew I would get a better deal on my choice of book than anywhere else.

Good, except one book I chose said $4.99 shipping but at check out it was $7.99? So I deleted it and found another book.
Thanks.

The site said that the credit card I wanted to use has expired, but it hasn't, so I had to put in a different one.
It had the book I wanted.

I have always had good experience with Alibris used book orders, and prefer used books for both the cost savings and the re-use of resources.
Good prices and service, and recycles books.

Alibris price for this book was lower than Thriftbooks.com, the other used book site I use.

Good values. Books have come in reasonable time, and have been in condition listed.
Best price found for this book.

Easy to find books and the books are usually a great price. There has only been a few books that I could get cheaper elsewhere.
I used it before.

I trust Alibris.

Your site seems to be a tad slow for when I look at a listing. I'd also like to search for listings based on distance
Amazon alternative and more local shipping/store than global.

Would like a little about the story so I know which ones I've read. Still, the price is so good, I can't pass it up.

I love how easy is to find books and all the options that they offer. Really great website to find books at a reasonable price.
My sister has purchased some books from this website, and they always turn out great

I've been shopping at Alibris for many years. Purchases are a breeze, it's easy to find hard to find books, and the prices are great
Always my go-to for books first. Every once in a while I shop around for other online shops and I always end up back here

Since PayPal fills in all of my information, it would be great to be offered the option of choosing it first and saving some typing.
Although as a tutor I would prefer one- or two-day delivery (so I can read up before school recommences January 3), I'd rather give you my business than shop at that billionaire's site.

Shipping cost too much, at beginning write C$7,but actualy C$12 each book. So total for 3 book shipping = C$ 36 (same supplier).
Book price is good

THOUGH I FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. FINALLY I GAVE UP AND JUST USED THE 5-DIGIT ZIPCODE. SOMEBODY OUGHT TO FIX YOUR WEB PAGE.

It was difficult to get it to stop when signing in. I also did not see the $5 coupon applied to my order.
I have been doing business with Alibris for over 20 years.

Wide selection of copies of the book I was looking for. Reasonably priced as used.
Long time satisfied customer.
Date of experience: December 10, 2022
I've been looking for this book for a while now, glad to be able to get it without taking out a loan!
This is the first time I’ve heard of it. It was a top result of a Google search, and I thought I’d give it a try.

It would be nice to include the shipping cost, which will help the buyer to decide if they can afford it.
The selection of Christian movies I have not been able to find elsewhere at a decent price.
Date of experience: February 28, 2024
I like using Alibris because of the selection they have and the fact that I can buy bargain books if I need to for my budget, but I can also usually find new books at a good price if I want new ones.
I was looking for books for personal and informational purposes on a particular topic and didn't have a particular title or edition in mind. Alibris has a good selection of books at varying prices, so I started there. It was a good place to start. I found plenty of books on the topic, bought several at great prices, and used the "optimize cart" feature to get an even better deal. I love this company.

See above it was too expensive. Was in good shape but too much.
