I've always been impressed with the ease of finding and purchasing books from Alibris. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the items received.

Great! It was easy to find the book I wanted! Couldn't find it at my bookstore and they were unable to order it. Suggested alibris.

Difficult to send copies to separate addresses. The system kept the current addresss instead of just going back to a blank box for the address.

I couldn't get an answer to a question - I wanted to send a card with my order and there was no way to do it.
They had the best selection

Your search option needs w0rk, and there needs to be cover photos on all your books to make sure we are getting the edition we are looking for.
Had the book I needed at the price I was looking to spend.

I would change your message for the 5$ coupon for email signup to include the fact you need to spend 50$ to get it. It is very misleading.
You had a hard to find video from my childhood that I want to share with my child today.

They try to sneak hard covers in there. When I tried to change my order, I couldn't go back to where I could shop more.

The internet was being slow today and my first attempt to purchase "disappeared".
I love Alibris because I can find books I cannot find elsewhere and I prefer to buy used copies if available.

I love Alibris. I have been using it since college. Whenever I hear of an interesting book I look to you.
You have the books I want.

I love alibris and have used it before when I was in school.
I was looking for a book for my son and Amazon had it but the price was outrageous. Once I'm here I bought a bunch for myself as well.:-)

Only complaint is that you can access directly only wishlists and orders; accessing a cart only by adding an item and then editing the cart

I'm not certain if I entered the correct expiration date (My card says good thru 01/24 so that's what I entered).
I'm a previous customer & it's usually easy to place an order.

Title was very to find via ISBN. Checkout was easy, especially as it links to PayPal, my preferred method of payment.
The title I was looking for had the cheapest price here out of Amazon, eBay, Biblio, Half Price Books, and Alibris.

Seaching for books is easy with Alibri. Enjoy the diversity of titles and ability to find rare or out of print books.

Just left one of your chief competitors because of their absurb delivery policy and returns policy. I even got a $2 coupn.
Reasonable shipping time. 3 - 10 days makes sense. (I know it may take a little longer) Your competitor demands 3 week shipping for all items in US. So I switched to you!

This site had both the books series I wanted and the one additional book I was looking for.
I chose Alibris because the books I searched for was available used on this site.

I was offered a $5 off coupon but, when I went to use it, I had to spend $50 to use it. That's wasn't mentioned previously. Not very nice lure.

Signed up due to offer of $5 off first purchase. When I got the offer it is limited to purchase of $50 or more and I couldn't use it. Disappointed.
