My goto for the used books! I have tried others but I always refer people to albris

I love Alibris. The site is easy to navigate, and has a great selection. It is very seldom Alibris will not have what I need.

It's a reliable and highly-efficient consolidator of used-book dealers that *greatly* facilitates my success at finding and buying books which I have been unable to borrow or acquire ANY OTHER way!

My billing address is the same as my shipping address. I most recently used an old address to order. Alibris has me fill out billing information before shipping information, so I couldn't check "billing address same as shipping" and have it use my new shipping address for billing as well; it kept the old address and I had to fill out my payment information again. If the shipping details came before the billing details in checkout, this wouldn't happen.

Having ordered from Alibris before, when I was looking for a specific title I tried them first. They had exactly what I needed at a very reasonable price. Their shipping estimate was spot on as well. I'll be shopping with Alibris again!

Your website is kinda clunky and reloads checkout pages at random which loses info I've already entered. I'd also like to be able to search by condition as well as type (i. E. Hardcover, Very Good) in your filters.

The shipping for my last order was twice as much as the cost of items I purchased. I will now be very careful about future orders. If I were your company, I certainly find a more economical way of shipping.

Some booksellers do not provide tracking information. Sometimes it takes a long time to receive orders, even for some booksellers to ship them. One book I ordered was not the edition advertised (US ed. Not UK).

Quick and easy. Just wish I could actually see the condition of the book via pictures

I searched for two specific and unrelated books (crafting and medical issue). I was able to easily find both. Shipping takes a lot more time because I live in a very remote area. Everything arrived safely and in good condition, and I will definitely be using this site again.

Some months ago I changed my password. For this order, I had to use a different email account, because, no matter what steps I took, I was not able to log in using the new password--nor could I access the "forgot password" feature. Tried several times; but Alibris never emailed me the email that would let change my password. Staff was no help at all. Fortunately, there are other providers out there; I will not do business with Alibris again.

I had a hard time ordering! I accidentally put my name instead of the persons name the book was going to & their name as the billing address (!)where it said shipping. It took 3 tries to get the right info to show up on the screen as it kept reverting back!
I did go to the help page, but it seemed to give directions that were not available, so I just put in " new card" & got it to work.

It's always a pleasure to find exactly the books Im looking for, and to be able to order then expeditiously

The Alibris process was incredibly well organized and simple to navigate. I certainly appreciated the description of this book's condition. It was also a terrific feature that I had the opportunity to contact the seller prior to confirming my purchase. I'd be remiss not to also congratulate the seller's willingness to provide a super-quick reply to the only question that I posed.

Bravo Chris and Alibris!

I bought excellent quality art books at a great price. My shipment from 5 different sellers arrived in a very timely manner. I highly recommend Alibris!

Had a decent selection of what I was looking for. Doesn't really offer support. The seller sent my books in separate shipments without providing all the tracking numbers. I reached out to Alibris after not getting a response from the seller. Alibris didn't offer to contact the seller on my behalf, just told me to wait and see. I wanted the tracking numbers so I could be sure the books were shipped to begin with. If not I wanted to pivot and get them elsewhere. Nobody wants to waste time waiting for something that won't arrive. I got the books in the end but it was annoying not knowing if they were actually sent or not.

Fine, soft cover worked fine, the checkout process was super simple

Always easy. Good selection of books. Shipping costs are a bit high.
