Four stars: five, and you'd be getting notions :) - there follows all the extra characters required by the algorithm: acachabu - it's actually a word, or a vocalisation thereof. Go on, next time there's nobody about, shout it to the heavens. It's a joy to release
Mmm... none of us deserves five stars... Alibris comes within a whisker, though.
Alibris has so far never failed to offer the books I'm looking for, at a fair price with fair shipping charges - why would I go anywhere else?
I've not looked on Alibris yet without finding what I wanted, at a fair price and with prompt delivery.
Paying was difficult and my Visa was refused - probably the card company fault but it made the transaction almost difficult enough to abandon. In the end I felt compelled to try my mastercard which was something I did not really want to do.
Your is absurdly inefficient when one tries to check out - completely lacking in commonsense clarity
Your website is uncommunicative and confusing and slow to respond. Much time wasted.
I could not get your cart to work on Firefox and had to switch to Chrome. In addition, I'm paying for international shipping even though the book is being shipped within the United States. (I am purchasing it from Ireland, which is probably why.)
Easy to use and great choice of books postage is as expected and quick.
Alles duidelijk Lang gezocht naar deze uitvoering. Bedankt
Quick, simple, efficient. Thanks. I do not have much else to say, that's it really.
Though I cannot understand why you need 50 characters.
The website seems to get utterly confused if I search for a book, then try to log in, and then have to ask for a new password. The items appears to be suddenly unavailable. I like user interactions to be simple and intuitive.
I expect your website is designed by people for whom its the centre of their world, but for me it's one of many book selling sites, which I use rarely.
Easy to use, quick check out process. Item headed for the UK.
Just try ordering something where the delivery address is different from the billing address. Or maybe that is not the problem - but it's the problem with any saved address
I dont think I am stupid. The design of the website is APPALLING
The website isn't the clearest
Needs an overhaual from a website designer - not because it's inelegant, but because it's tricky to navigate
I live in the US, but I wanted a book for a friend in the UK. So far, it has been easy and economical to order a book to be delivered to him from a UK vendor on the Albris UK website!
Alibris is my go-to destination for pre-loved books. Its great back catalogue and consistently low shipping make it the place to look first.
Thank you. All good. UI seems well designed. I don't have any more to say. Please reduce the character limit. It's very irritating to be asked to write more when there's nothing more to say
Alibris is a great find for movie collectors. Easy to order, reasonable prices and a quick delivery. Highly recommended.
Only ordered once before, dvd did take a longtime to be delivered but item was in great condition. This is my second order so hopefully a positive experience.
Tired and tested and trusted service; having been returned money in the past when a book didn't show up.
I Prefer that my first name is NOT displayed on the delivery label, ie I'd rather it was just Mrs, then initial then surname. Better for security.
