Overall it was good, but I was new and it took a while to read everything to get the free shipping. Still that was great.
It has all the books I was looking for at great prices.

Tried to see expected delivery date... I saw no reference as to I can expect to receive the book. I would have paid extra to speed up shipping.
I used Alibris some years ago and I was pleased. Back then, I wouldn’t hacared when the book/s arrived. But now— on this particular book, I would really have liked to see shipping speed options.
I have a tumor w/ cancer and would like the help of this book ASAP.

Liked that it remembered me even though I had not created an account, and prompted me to give the info to set up an account.
Best value & selection

I could not process my ebook rental order till I add a physical item in my cart that I did not want to by.
Cheapest price that I could find with the longest rental period

I never got the information on the $5 coupon. Can I do two coupons on one order. I am dissatisfied by no response on my request for help.
Some books appear to be priced low.

I found the book I wanted so that was a big plus right there. I look forward to returning to find other items I want.
I had forgotten about this site. You had what I needed.

I was a little surprised by the shipping costs. Another used book link sold me 3 books with the 4th book free and free shipping.
I found the 2 books I'm looking for.

I received a coupon code in my email. I entered it and the system would not take it. I feel cheated of the $5.00 off that it promised.
Thanks for the explanation.
Availability of a $5.00 off coupon.

Maybe just me but the quick lookup address feature is a waste of time and frustrating. I'm all for dropping it on all sites but maybe just me
No one else had my item at such a good price

Would like to be able to see the chapters/titles of the lectures.
I'd be better informed about the contents and if it meets my needs.

I had a batch of items in my cart; after I retrieved my password, they were all gone. I had to start over again. Bad!

Previous great experiences!

I can always find just the book I am looking for at Alibris. The shopping is so easy and the books come almost right away! Thank you.
They are the "go to" for used books!
Date of experience: June 26, 2023
A wide variety of books to browse through and books are easy to find. Much easier than going to a bookstore. I highly recommend Alibris.

A great way to buy books and a great variety of books to choose from
I have used Alibris for quite a long time and find the prices to be very good.
Date of experience: April 1, 2022
I like Alibris because shopping is easy, finding books and suggestions by Alibris make it that much easier too. I have ordered books that I didn't even know existed and some that have enhanced my hobbies, you get a great choice,
It is where I get nearly all of my books
Date of experience: September 11, 2021
I like the range of books and their prices that I can choose from. There are not too many books that I cannot find on this site. It's any easy way to shop and I can find prices from very cheap to rare books that are more expensive. I highly recommend this site.
I have been getting most of my books from here.
Date of experience: February 12, 2021
Good, however I did not have the option to by more than one copy of the same book even though more than one was offered
Date of experience: February 20, 2022
Easy and good prices. Just wish I had a image of one of the items I purchased to be 100% sure it's the right one
The low prices grabbed my interest while searching for specific movies

You guys are incredible! You had what I want with great information about books on similar topics. Great books at a great price! I will be back soon.
It’s hard to find specialty books, especially so many different kinds at one place, and with great customer service.

I could not determine if the book "Leading Change" was in English? Not sure why all the other info was after the books name? Confusing
Refereed to me by a used book store in Fort Collins CO, "Old Firehouse Books"

I love alibris I find most books that I want. And at very competitive prices. Besides, I want "other than" Amazon sellers to be successful.
I found a book I was searching for and it was sold out.
Date of experience: January 1, 2023
One suggestion (which may be a bit hard): Adding a sort by seller name would be great. Easier to consolidate purchases with a single seller.
Date of experience: September 15, 2022
I found the book I wanted easily and quickly, and could choose the format that I liked, available from several different sellers with good prices.

I'm in a book club and hope that I get this book before the club meets. Thank you,
It was easy and the price right.
I have received the books quickly so I am glad to buy from you again.

I always try to apply the credit you offer on an email but you reject it after all the books i have purchased from you!
Because i can get my books thru you!
Date of experience: January 7, 2022
Very straightforward. I liked the way the titles were listed one each, then selecting one took me to the choices of who to buy from.
To get away from Amazon.
Date of experience: August 19, 2021
In a perfect purchase I could see a pic of the specific book im purchasing used to see the extent of damage. But otherwise so far, so good.
Like the name

Standard shipping says $4.99 for first book. $3.49 for second book. But I was charged $4.99 for each.?
