First time here but will be back, I'm sure. Easy to use site.
Only cheaper than Book depository with discount code. Will you be faster to deliver? Time will tell.
Quick and easy but need to wait until book arrives to see if quality is as described
I always check Alibris first when purchasing books.
Easy to find what you want, check out and create account
Easy to find the books I wanted with many choices of booksellers.
Would prefer to pay by PayPal. Otherwise good service so far.
Excellent, The site remembered that I had been here before, aqnd google remembered the Login details all ready for to go!
Alibris offers an excellent service making books from around the world available to all. The web site is simple to use and the checkout straight forward.
Very good, except for one little detail: When I selected the book 'A razor for a goat' to transfer it to the shopping basket, the ALibris site said that it was a 'New' book (which is what I want) but by the time I came to pay for the book the ALibris site was no longer saying what condition the book is in. It better had be a 'New' book!
Having to reenter my CC details because I didn't select if it was visa or mastercard - couldn't it detect it from the first four numbers?
I love Alibris! So easy to use. So many titles available. I'be bought a lot of books over the years and only been disappointed with one or two.
Would like an option for 1st class and something to say when I can expect delivery
Nearly always find what I want quickly - excellent search engine.
Problem with disparity between title when moving to purchase page (Scott becomes Keats)?
Good service. Up front about everything. Reasonable delivery but sometimes skewed at present by Covid.
Thank you, great website, competitively and reasonably priced; good service. Very positive overall. 9/10.
It wouldn't accept my credit card details 3 times but then magically did, and secondly, you are selling the same book - one copy for 74p and another for £11. What's wrong with the 74p version? I guess I will find out :)
When I receive my first order I will let you know.
