My two favourite authors, and the books are just as described when they arrive, and even with having ti change my out-dated password it was still easy to navigate the website.

I enjoy shopping on alibris.

I just wish that you would keep the card code number.

Therefore, I do not have to get my card, each time to make my purchases.

I would prefer to see all shipping options before entering card details. As it happens there were no other options so perhaps the wording should be adjusted at the checkout stage as it implies there are other options. For instance, I would have paid extra for express shipping. I do not want my card details saved.

I would like a simpler payment solution. The current one requires me to go to my internet bank and change the permissions so that all internet purchases are allowed.

There was a problem with the shipping on a previous order which was then immediately refunded. The company was kind and relatively efficient. Thank you!
