Easy, am registered with Alibris from a previous purchase
Why insist I enter the 'state'? I had already entered 'Manchester'. That is both my city and my country. I don't live in a state other than three UK.
No problems except that I would like to know the delivery delay before I buy.
Thank you for your great book selection and ease of shopping.
Straightforward searching and straightforward when ordering. Fabulous.
Everyone should be using Alibris. Not only better for society than monsters like Amazon, but better value too! What's not to like?
Could not locate login icon for account members at the top.
Have had some difficulty inputting my correct shipping and payment address.
GOOD range of books at a fair price. Good communication and organisation.
Credit card number -did not know whether to use spaces or not; got it wrong so had to make second attempt.
Quickly found the book I was looking for with a competitive price.
I always find Alibris website easy to use with a terrific range of books at good prices.
I oderered some books over alibris but twice I didn't get them. I got a refund for the frist, I'm waiting for over a month for the 2nd one...
Alibris has a huge offer of used books at a convenient price. I have found here several difficult-to-find or expensive book which are in good conditions and perfectly useful.
Just one suggestion. It would be convenient to expand the payment options with, for example, Paypal or other non-credit based options.
Problem with my debit card... you use credit card description only?
Problem with my forgotten password... your e-mail response not found
Seems really good. I like that the site set currency to my locale.
If the item arrives as promised then I'll be back to up the rating to 5 stars.
Thanks
Hello, When adding a book to the cart without entering my account and when entering the personal account it is no longer available. I imagine that the system saves the product in a non-existent basket without an account for 12 hours. Fortunately there was another copy at a similar price. Apart from this inconvenience, my buying experience will be good if the book arrives on time and in good condition. Thanks.
Good to find what I was looking for easily and quickly
