No problems so far, this is my first purchase, so hopefully I will receive the dvd in reasonable amount of time.
Delivery looks expensive, but book prices remarkable
Fine today, but yesterday it got confused when I found the book on bookfinder.com and it put it in the shopping basket, then I couldn't access it after updating my password logging in.
Everything fine apart from it would be useful to filter by UK/EUR only before sorting by cheapest first, as I usually cannot wait for the US shipping times!
It is practically impossible to set the donation from easyfundraising and the search seems to be quite slow, but otherwise everything on the website works well, links well and the filter choices are good
I wish the donations would just remember rather than ask to be clicked each page load or refresh!
My experience with you is:
You are trustworthy and reliable.
I had seen the two copies last night, then they seemed to have been bought, but I am finding them again this morning. Since I need the book badly for an exposition, never mind. It was a great transaction in any case. Thanks!
Very smooth and efficient taking only a few seconds to complete
Often find textbooks that would otherwise be very expensive at a reasonable price.
I was pleased to find the book for which I was searching.
Thank you for being a reliable alternative to Amazon
An excellent alternative to Amazon!
Alibris is a wonderful alternative to Amazon.
Had what I wanted when other sites didn't. Quick, easy and efficient purchase.
Choice of seller for this book very welcome. Online experience generally good.
OK but hate being interrupted part way through something!
My address label included my phone number, added to the end of United Kingdom, and I was unable to delete it. So I had to put in another email address, and re-enter everything, making sure not to include my phone number.
So easy to use and very VERY fair pricing for a book addict! As someone not in the US but with an interest in may things US related (railroads, subways, Hollywood, US history) I can source so many books at good prices.
Complicated to add a different address for sending
And asked me three times for the card number
And addresses can't be chosen using the Post code. One has to fill in everything by hand. Primitive
Fantastic! I used to borrow this book from my school Library in Texas *50* years ago. When I left that school, I wanted to keep the book because I loved it SO much, but I left it in the Library! I've found it after all these years, and it is coming to me in the northeast of Scotland, where I now live! Alibris is making a 50-year-old wish come true!
