I have enjoyed shopping Alibris for many years. Keep up the good work... bring down the shipping costs. :]
I was looking for some Dave Barry books I did not have, and saw that even with the elevated shipping costs, I could get the books I need to fill in the gaps in my collection.
Date of experience: February 7, 2024
I love Alibris. I haven't shopped in quite some time, but I have placed a number of orders over the years. I wish your shipping was a bit better, as it usually ends up twice the cost of the books themselves. Great site! I've recommended it to a number of people, and they love Alibris too! Keep up the great work!

Used them before, mostly with very satisfactory service. Last time wasn't great but will give Alibris another try since have been fine until then.
Date of experience: February 14, 2023
I would keep using Alibris for out of print titles.
I think they tried fairly hard to resolve the issues. But when dealing with individual stores, it can be a challenge. For example, I likely wouldn't have purchased from one store if I had known they were Internet only, no brick and mortar, business.
They are my first "go-to" for out of print items.
Date of experience: December 7, 2022
This is the second time this order has been canceled due to it not being available. Once I get, but two? You need to get after your booksellers to update their inventory more often!

Good experience with them in the past.
Date of experience: December 28, 2021
Found your cart saving money cart irritating... in one case the "saving" was a penny, in another, it was the same price, possibly combined bookstore, though. Perhaps there should be a minimum of a dollar difference before suggesting change. Otherwise, found Alibris well worth the effort.
I won't shop Amazon. I prefer Indies.

Good price on books I wanted. I was slightly disappointed that delivery may be 2 weeks. Expediated delivery is too expensive.
