I love Alibris, but sometimes am not in love with the shipping methods utilized by some sellers on the site.
Good selection/reasonable prices.

Attempted to change CC for checkout a half dozen times, finally had to go with paypal in order to buy.
* Alibris attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

I used the Alibris Book Fetch function and they found my book in less than 2 weeks. Thank you, Alibris!
I wanted to see if the extended search function would result in gaining my book through Alibris.

Great so far, but the shipping could use some help. Not too many do the shipping deal, I have found.
You accept PayPal, and some who have a wide range do not, although they offer free shipping. I like that a company doesn't ask to store private information, but I also would like to find a company who offers new and used books and offers free shipping after so much spent no matter who is the vendor. Just sayin...

This book not available at my nearest Barnes and Noble and, if it was, it would be $10.00 more expensive.
Great selection, best proces

The best selection always, and easy to find what you're looking for, and very reasonable. This is my "go to" source for books.

I pretty much automatically go to Alibris first these days -- and usually last as well.
Best selection and best prices.

Easily found what I was looking for at good prices. That is virtually always the case with Alibris, my number one source for books.

Most likely to have somewhat obscure book

Yeah kind of awkward they wanted the abbreviation instead of the full state name lol. But I figured it out.
Price was right and I was excited to find a copy of the book I wanted
Date of experience: September 19, 2021
Easy, quick, great prices. The only thing I am unhappy about is that the shipping costs more than the books.
I've used you in past but forgot and a friend recommended you

Hard to look for subject matter without book title and/or author. Did not find the subject matter I wanted easy.
Familiar with the site

Easy to search by ISBN. Slightly confusing when it comes to selecting expedited shipping. Not sure it recorded my request.
I thought I could get one of my school books faster from here.

Hitting back doesn't take you to previous page but back to google search. It made for a difficult checkout process.

User friendly. Very easy to use and fast. The site was detailed and informative. You can contact the seller directly.
They represent a great cause!

Easy-to-use website, ease of shopping and ordering, and the site offers a non-Amazon choice for those of us boycotting Amazon!
It's non-Amazon.
