It seems Alibris has changed it's format. It is somewhat difficult to navigate.
Could not find what I was looking for on other web sites.

Listings were not as organized as I am used to with your website.
Excellent past service
Date of experience: March 12, 2023
Good results (most of the time) in the past. Although this is the second time I'm paying for "The Arctic Event" - last time whoever I picked got the order mixed up and sent two of one ond none of that one. But it was a large order and by the time I figured out what had happened I just decided to let it slide.

One company sent the wrong book and I have not been able to get anyone from either your staff or theirs to help me get the right one.
No easy way to report my problem: I don't remember what I finally did but after a loud silence from Alibris I have tried to deal directly with the company who made the mistake. Again, loud silence.
First site I could figure out

Everything worked very well. The only thing I would add is that I have to research books I want elsewhere, then come here to purchase them.
I prefer to avoid buying from Amazon when I can. I remember enjoying bookstores and things have changed.
Date of experience: February 3, 2022
I've been trying to avoid Amazon, so you are next in line.

I wish my purchase would have qualified for a discount. Oh, well.
I'm here basically as a a protest of Amazon. I'm a Republican voter and I can't for the life of me go along with big tech's steal of our elections.

Cart kept emptying. Also had to enter username over and over. Was frustrating...
