Too easy. I almost always buy more than I had planned. I am disappointed in the rise of shipping costs, but...
Best source for good quality used books.

Always so easy that often I've ordered before I quite realize it. Obviously good marketing on your part.
It's always my first choice. Have had almost perfect experience with your sellers and your process. I will soon get to the point, though, that I can't remove the new packaging (very thick cardboardy paper which defies even my strongest scissors) and really slows down the joy of actually seeing and touching the books. Has Alibris ever tried opening one of those packages?
Date of experience: September 9, 2021
As always -- exciting to anticipate receiving, opening, reading the books.
See above. I am constantly recommending Alibris to others -- and continuing to overflow my own bookshelves. Thank you for being there -- in so many places.

Your price, your reliability with book condition descriptions and You are not affiliated with AMAZON!
Date of experience: February 26, 2024
I am happy alibris is not affiliated with Amazon and affords me both relatively low prices with accurate book condition descriptions.
I have been consistently happy with my shopping experience with alibris because it, most importantly, is not affiliated with Amazon and, secondly, has afforded both relatively low prices backed by accurate book condition descriptions reliably guaranteed.
Date of experience: February 8, 2024
So far my shopping experience has been very smooth and satisfactory.
Alibris is neither Amazon nor AbeBooks, offers low prices, provides a reliable description of book's condition.
Date of experience: January 7, 2024
The price and the fact that you are not affiliated with Amazon.
Date of experience: December 31, 2023
Consistently straightforward in the past and
NOT Amazon.
Date of experience: December 28, 2023
Your low prices and your accurate descriptions are much appreciated as well as simply not being Amazon.
Date of experience: December 8, 2023
Book finder listed the book as Book price $4.00 Shipping cost $4.49.
Alibris Charged "Item Total" as "$4.43" Shipping cost "$4.49" Est. Tax "$.59" It was impossible to correct the discrepancy between "Book Price" and "Item Total." To even get "$4.43" as a item price was difficult. Other higher prices had shown up well beyond the original $4.00 seen on Bookfinder.
What is going on here?
I am worried at this point of hackings and hackers...not trusting online purchasing with every passing day.
Especially with this experience.
The price was low, the item was in good shape, and you were not Amazon nor its affiliates.
