Really good - clear descriptions of book conditions and easy to use payment
Excellent, I have been a customer for a very long time time now
I would like more detail on whether a non-fiction book is academic or for general readership. Otherwise a very straight-forward process. Thank you.
Alibris is an excellent site for finding titles it is difficult to find elsewhere and reasonable delivery costs
Great books, nice deals,and books in perfect condition. A friend suggested me this website for books.
It was easy to do the shopping and to find the books. All is nicely explained
So far so good but need to see when the book arrives. Only 3 stars as better payment options would be welcomed
Reliable with reasonable price options on rare books and good choice.
It was disingenuous to estimate shipping at $4.44 when it turned out to be over $13
All fine except for non acceptability of my Bank of Ireland debit card
It had everything I needed and I was able to proceed with ease and convenience.
I am pleased to obtain this book which I could not find elsewhere
Quick, smooth, clear and intuitive - I located what I wanted at good cost.
It was an easy, informative and straightforward process. Thanks
Very easy to find the book I wanted
I don't understand why shipping is so expensive especially if I'm buying multiple items from the same seller! I used to sell large items online for £6 for the largest items weighing over 2kg but 4 books is £12 shipped?
Otherwise great experience
Good selection of sellers, conditions of books and prices.
Fairly easy to use once you are used to it otherwise is a bit complicated at first.
Book in stock at a fair price.
Easy to navigate and order.
Cross our fingers for damage free shipping%
Found what I needed and easy website to use. Am happy thus far
Bit clunky (e.g. Awkward working around secure password rejection) but got registration and order done.
Got a message saying there was a problem with my credit card.
Excellent, straight forward and no complications. I will recommend to all my friends and possibly return to purchase more books.
Shipping is really expensive and the real amount appears at the very end which ends up being dissapointing
