So far, so good. This is my first order and I will have to see how long it takes to arrive and if the condition is as described.
My husband suggested this company.

It has been a great experience for myself as I do not have a lot of tech knowledge and this has been stress free and easy to use.

Price! Pricing was the best option with Alibris.

I always check with Alibris before buying any book. I see absolutely no reason to purchase a new book. I've never seen a book that was used up.
Always use Alibris

I signed up to receive emails about
Future offers and updates. I thought I was going to receive five dollars off my order in that did not happen.
Because of the specific book that I ordered

The web page is very user friendly and you almost always have the books I am looking for. I am so glad thee is an alternative to Amazon.

Alibris did not have my updated Visa expiration date, which I had updated on my last order. I believe that this had happened one time before as well.
The book I ordered was nearly $4.00 cheaper with Alibris than with another book seller.

I am always getting emails on so much off next order. I can't ever figure out how to use it. I order from Alibris on a regular basis

My shopping experience at Alibris has been my favorite place to shop for books for years, always have what I'm looking for and a breeze to check out.
My go to site for book shopping!
Date of experience: December 13, 2022
I would like a "continue shopping" option after I look at my cart. It was cumbersome to get back to a page where I could order another book.
I've recently received an order from you

I've ordered from alibris before but been a while but seems to be a great site to order from. Just wish shipping was so much for each item

I found a very hard movie to find, so hopefully it works out
Popped up on my searches so thought I'd give it a try

I was shopping on your site and when I tried to check out as a guest, it dropped all my order so I had to do it again.
Not Amazon.

Easy to navigate the website and payment options. I love the low prices and that you can see where the seller is located. That helps so much! Thanks!
I need to learn about the digital divide for a class I am taking.

I got 3 used books with shipping cheaper than I would have been able to buy 1 used book without shipping on amazon as an amazon prime member!
Search engine suggestion, it came up as 1st on the list when I asked for the best online used bookstore.
Date of experience: January 30, 2021
A bit hard to navigate who sells what. It would have been nice to have an easier time trying to consolidate sellers in order to save on shipping.
Was looking for a 2nd hand book which was way to pricey on amazon.
Date of experience: September 12, 2022
It's great, the only thing I would seek to improve is to think of a way to make the shipping costs clear while still shopping - perhaps automating consolidating orders into the same shippers?
You have a great choice, an easy to use platform and I wish to buy from someone who isn't amazon
Date of experience: March 17, 2021
I appreciated that you had books that I was looking for at good price. Checkout was easy, and am just waiting for delivery, to see rest of process.
Reasonable price
Date of experience: March 10, 2022
Usually I can find the book I want in excellent condition. Arrives quickly.
I like buying second hand. Saving resources and money.

Do not want to use Amazon
Date of experience: March 20, 2021
It takes a while to learn the website and to figure out how to minimize shipping expense. My wire did not like that, and found it too complicated.
Looking for certain books, used.

I had honestly believe that the subject of DIY pet recipes was kind of obscure, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could find so many different books about how to make homemade dog food.
Looking for a better price than Amazon or Google.

Got a quality expensive book for very little and was in great condition and enjoyed thoroughly
The price for the product
Date of experience: May 22, 2024
Easy and painless. Had EXACTLY what I wanted, even found a 2nd title which I bought it was so well organized and effortless. I will DEFINITELY buy again.
No one else had what I wanted - in the condition I wanted - and the price was a bonus!
Date of experience: August 30, 2021
Easy to navigate the site, all information available and well organized. Easy to proceed with purchase, check out and payment processes were smooth.
Best price.

The quality is true to the description and shipping is fast.
My aunt told me about alibris about 15 years ago.

Had an order up on Thrift... couldn't navigate as easily as your site. So I'm here... at Your website is easy to use. Your welcome for the feedback.
Friendly website--fair prices--would prefer free shipping, but it's ok.
NOTE the compulsory agreement re publishing does not indicate that you will NOT use my name. I must agree in order to place this order? I'm going on faith here. You might indicate using/not using customer names. If this is an option, I prefer my name not be published; Goggle could write a book on me already. I prefer they don't get more "stuff"! Thanks. MJN

Was quick and easy to find the book I was looking for, many options as far as condition, price. And 1.49 is sooo much nicer than almost $30.00!
