Found what I wanted here cheaper and faster delivery than other sellers
Five-star good enough? Shipping to the UK is the best cost available. Congratulations. Too many retailers use an overseas order as an excuse to levy unreasonable charges.
Nearly perfect. Particularly good for finding books when I have only a rough idea of name or author.
Great site, useful interface and tracking features.
Very impressive; I haven't used alibris for some years and am pleased that your high standard has been maintained.
The shipping price indicated initially is different from the one on the order sheet.
Easily and conveniently bought text book for my daughter
Trying to pay by PayPal just kept returning to "you need to select a payment method". Also, when I decided to trust paying with a card, after I clicked to complete checkout, the price changed.
Puzzled as told book not available and order cancelled - however book is still listed!
Little difficult, I wish you had Paypal as method.
Price is key to purchase, and an excellent way to re-use unwanted books
First time using the site and got what i needed straight away
If I select PayPal I shouldn't have to put in a credit card number! $#*! site.
Works well. Shipping costs could be less though… it would help to search for several books grouped by seller.
Alibris uniquely offers a very cost effective shipping option from US sellers to the UK via bulk 'surface air lift' which for me has so far proven reliable.
Fine though easy to confuse billing and delivery addresses
1. There was no opportunity to correct a mistake in the shipping address.
2. the billing address postcode would not accept letters only numbers.
3. I expected the 'review' stage to allow me to review and change anything that needed changing. But there seemed to be no Review stage, with opportunity to change anything.
Very poor shopping experience.
However, let us get the order; I'll see how well it arrives.
Easy to use website with good filter for choosing books
Pretty straightforward. Wondering why you don't have PayPal as a payment option?
