The book prices are great, but then shipping costs practically double the sale price by the time it's all said and done. I still buy because I'm trying to support others besides that one really big website… Shopping Alibris requires a different strategy that I have failed to develop this far. But I'm grateful it exists.

Books are always shipped with great care. I find that the selection is as good as the "typical shops" at a more affordable price.

I love them, great quality, quick and best prices. I had trouble with a goodwill order and they fixed it right away. The best!

Great site for book-lovers. I decided to give my existing copy to a Haiku friend for Christmas so am ordering a replacement for myself!

I went on a "mad streak" and ordered four books I'd been thinking about and one classic CD from the 1970's that I'd wanted to get for a while. Alibris kept me up to date on the order status. It turned out that one book was not in stock. The vendor deeply apologized via email, my money was refunded, and I bought the book from another vendor on Alibris. Overall, I was satisfied with staggered deliveries because I knew the order status. Alibris and the vendor were timely and fair with the one hitch in my order. I'm happy.

Good variety of books and they're easy to order. I like the fact that different sellers are shown. Also, appreciate seeing a description and image of the books if avaliable.

I was looking for a certain book as a gift. I found exactly what I wanted, in very good condition, at a remarkable price. I am a very happy customer.

I had a very good experience and/or highly recommend them to anyone that needs book including hard to find ones, scholarly, etc!

So happy to find what I was looking for! Also love the choices available for each author. Thank you for the amazing service you provide.

I have veen shopping with Alibris for decades and I recommend you regularly. Prices are reasonable, quality as described and prompt delivery. Nothing negative so far

While my order is an international transfer, the parcel didn't leave the origin country (US) for quite a while (4 weeks). The tracking info is also incorrect; it showed my parcel had departed from my destination country's airport.

Excellent selection and ease of ordering. They have a consolidation program which saves money and it is offered free to the user. Great Used Book Site!

I always check Alibris first. Usually, I find a book that works -- and I'm supporting resale (keeping books in circulation) and small business! Win-win-win!

Great selection of books at exceptional prices. Received all orders within days. My go-to book store for personal, professional, and gift needs.

Easy to find options. Appreciate that the location of shop makes it easier to get from one sources So can limit environmental impact of shipping. Would love to have that be even easier

Everything is good so far! This is my first time using this service. We'll see how the process ends up once I receive my order.

Found book. Ordering was quick. I didn't have to mess with Passwords that are never right, and I could pay via Pay Pal, so no worries with my credit car on this first time order at this company.

I picked out a book for a Christmas present and was informed that it qualified for free shipping if I added more items with the "free ship" icon. But no matter which items I added, shipping remained in my cart. I contacted Alibris, but they were no help. They gave me answers like, "You have nothing in your cart" (I had 2 books), "You have to pick books with the "free ship" icon" (I did), "Shipping will disappear when you begin checkout" (It didn't). I don't think they even looked at the screen shots I sent. I finally figured out (without any help from Alibris) that the free shipping didn't work if you chose PayPal. I did order the books without using PayPal, and they came, and I am satisfied with them. But the checkout process was the worst, and the Alibris team was useless. Interestingly, once I posted an online review, as requested by the email I received, Alibris suddenly contacted me, admitted the problem existed with their cart, and gave me an incredibly convoluted method whereby free shipping would work with PayPal. So if you want to get any satisfaction from Alibris, I guess you need to post an unfavorable review online. I won't say I'll never order from them again, but they're now at the bottom of my list of booksellers instead of the top.

Much prefer guest checkout. I'm sick of passwords & individual accounts. Just trying to buy something, don't want to join a club
