Very good. Order was processed swiftly and the book was sent and received very fast. Would do business with again.
Wow, so many titles; easy navigation--who could ask for more?!
I'm happy to be connected to smaller book stores around the country. They have multiple options for every title I've searched! Love the ease and the Optimized Cart options!
I have been shopping with Alibris for years. Book deliveries are always on time. I have never had a problem. 99% of the time, books are available. Even the rare ones. Thanks Alibris for being my go to for my books!
The Alibris site is easy to use. Most of the historical books requested were found. I generally shop here first before I proceed to any other site. I have shopped here for years in all genres. Thank you for your service. Carmen
My experience was great, efficient, not problems. I appreciate your being there for those of us who don't want to buy from Amazon. Thanks so much
Great price! Website is easy to use: finding what I wanted, setting up new account, and checkout all very user-friendly.
Cheap and reliable, competitive shipping rates and good choice of titles
Great prices! They found free shipping on items requested, saving me $
Thank you! I appreciate reading and recycling books. This is worth it!
I have bought several books from Alibris and have never been disappointed. Would recommend to everyone.
Several times hit the BACK icon once too often and 'left' the site, but returning my 'cart' still had my selections! Nice Web site programming!
When selecting a movie, not clear what to click on. So, got several different screens and eventually the screen for the movie and the shipper with the price and a button to add to the card.
Also on your 'home', first Web page, when try to select 'movies' the window jumps around making it not clear if do have selected 'movies'. So, your 'pull down' list is more clear.
Good Web site, goofy-stuff free. Good search tool. No hassle.
To date, I have found every book for which I've searched. Alibris's stock appears to be quite extensive and varied. Both searching and purchase transactions are simple. No complaints!
I was looking for a used book in good condition that didn't end up costing so much to ship that it was more expensive than a new copy. I appreciated the options displayed and the availability of the items for which I was looking. All in all, it was a very positive first experience!
It would be VERY helpful if you showed what EDITION of the book is, when it is a reprint. I am hoping my selection is the latest edition of The Dynamics of Particles and of Rigid Elastic and Fluid Bodies, by A. G. Webster in hardback
I loved the swiftness and all the gift cards provided! I loved everything about the purchase. It came in a quick enough class & at a good price.
The book I ordered was accurately described and was also promptly shipped. Best price I could find for this book in this condition.
Wish promo code included price with shipping to save $2 this month.
Super quick
Super easy!
Extremely reasonable
Super happy with my find!
This website is a great resource for students or who want to learn. I got my books quickly and in great condition!
I had difficulties with the website. It was very slow and didn't accurately add items to my cart.
I received the purchased book as expected in excellent condition. Thank you this was a good experience.
I usually find what I'm looking for and the prices are always great. Sometimes the shipping makes up for the discounted prices but I love getting stuff from all over the country. I love thrifting and recycling.
