Could we have a filter that allows us to select by bookshop, thus cutting shipping costs please.

I wish Alibris showed the shipping cost from the very beginning-- a store that has a lower price but higher shipping might not end up being the best option. Also, I wish there was a way to combine shipping. It always feels like a ripoff when I have multiple shipping charges from the same seller.

You need to allow users to Step Back to the previous screen, if they realise they didn't do something right. Other vendors do this as normal.

You need to correct your website
March 8, 2021

You need to correct your website. It would not let me pay with PayPal, only card which I don't ever do. And it would not let me enter a postcode with letters for an English address which is what English postcodes consist of.

I'd no problem ordering this book. I had this book for years — loaned out and lost forever. Hoping to receive this book by my much loved friend, Alasdair, soon.

They had the books I wanted at a good price. My young relative reads so fast it's not worth buying new.
