It was fine but the shopping is quite much even though it was from the same country
Alibris is easy to navigate and use, I can always find what I'm looking for with many options to choose from to suit my needs. I often hunt down used, more obscure books that are otherwise difficult to get my hands on, and I'm very pleased with how much easier Alibris has made this for me.
Books were easy to find.
Some options also not listed on Amazon
Why no paypal?
Why no delivery discount when buying from the same shop?
Might as well go to Amazon.
Would be so good if 2 things were in place:
A) a way of calculating the shipping costs on the fly
B) a way of amalgamating the order into as few separate retailers as possible for the best price overall
I am nervous about entering financial information so many times. I would like an option for express delivery. I hope I will be able to track my parcel all the way to delivery.
Very swift process, had to type in my credit card number twice, but that's ok.
A very good choice of books. I hope they are in good condition, Thanks
I tried buying this book yesterday, but had trouble logging in. When I succeeded, the book had disappeared from my cart and from the site.
The book that I want is in stock at a reasonable price. That's good.
After so many years of searching & you found the book I was looking for.
I was not able to select PayPal as payment option and had to enter my credit card data
Really great website and clear ordering process, thank you
Really clear portal and easy to use thanks
Check out easy, site layout good for comparing different copies of the same book.
Good efficient service. First time customer, looking forward to receiving my item.
I think I should be given a discount for 3 cancellations in swift succession
Took a little while to find what I was after so I hope the book is useful!
I often buy books from Alibris because they offer an enormous range of books at affordable prices.
A great way to buy secondhand from independent sellers
Great way to buy secondhand books and help save the planet.
You had the book I had, you had options on price, and quality, so far so good
