I always enjoy shopping at Alibris as I know how much they love books.
Ease of use. The shipping costs from the USA are much lower than other sites
All good - SO many books to choose from - my shelves are groaning!
I wanted to pay with PayPal but it wouldn't let me save and continue to the next step unless I selected to pay by card
Would prefer UK shipping to be with book price not as a surprise at the end! However generally good
Well organised layout for choosing books, generally a lot of stock available with good and honest details from booksellers
1. Searching was good
2. Form was clear.
Another good thing was that I didn't get hassled for a State. New Zealand is too small to have states.
Great price and simple buying process and by buying used I feel that I am trying to save tree's
It is good, but I can't find an option to choose which country I'd prefer my books to come from (I'd prefer to buy as locally as possible).
Good selection, good prices but more that anything easy to use website
Good range and prices, easy web site
Simple and fast transaction and I found a rare book here which I could t find anywhere else
The system is easy and straight forward, that's all I ask for!
Excellent value in respect of shipping costs compared to US sellers when buying direct
Good idea to include a description of the condition of the item.
The shipping time is quite long. I hope the service time can be reduced. The tracking is also missing.
So far so good - mostly everything arrives OK. You would do better if you asked after the books arrive!
It was a pleasant experience, found everything I needed now.
It was seamless, although I have used this site before.
This is an amazing source of books. I was looking for a specific book and I found it. I love it!
Great. I came looking for a particular book, found it straight away, and ordered it with a few clicks.
Always a pleasure to deal with this company. Always good value for the items.
Good, even better if the item arrives safely so hopefully this will have a happy conclusion
Easy guest checkout and option to create account. Good shipping cost.
