It was very easy to locate the book i wanted via best book price
Prices of books are good but the shipping costs are a bit of a shock at the end - there doesn't seem to be any sense that shipping costs for multiple books bought from the same seller have discounted rates.
Good, my only objection is about the shipping costs... which are a bit excessive
Consistently Alibris does not fulfill my orders. Time and time again this happens. Yet again I am here placing another order, I just hope that this time you do not find reasons not to fulfill this book order
Kind Regards
Arthur
It was extremely easy to place the order. I hope that Covid isn't going to be the cause of the books arriving in more than 6 weeks time, as they are needed for Masters studies early at the end of August.
It was spoiled by getting a 'Invalid Publisher Code, Offer, or Publisher - Advertiser Partnership Status ' error when searching on www'usedbooksearch.net. This happens repeatedly. It; s very irritating to a customer, and you must be losing a lot of business.
Located item of interest and purchase process was quick and easy
I was delighted that you are able to supply a copy. Wasn't sure if I already have an a/c with you. Should you have another copy for sale in the future, do you have an ‘Alert system'? Best wishes, Pat
Looks like it worked but had disconnection just after I entered card number.
So many books to choose from - a book-lovers heaven
Alibris is very well set up and easy to find what you want.
Excellent: found the volume I was looking for n- and at a reasonable price
I can't get the site to display prices I pounds until I pay and change the currency for the processing to GBP.
Would help if
- more clarity about what constitutes a 1st edtion
- messages to sellers were copied to the sender
Only here I could buy this book! Thank you very much!
Always simply fab. Quick efficient searches, clear results, great service re: getting stuff sent. Such an easy and pleasurable way to stay off Amazon.
Except for my last order which still has not come, I have been impressed by the speed of delivery and quality of the purchases. It would be nice to have an email from Alibris to explain a prolonged delay.
Good choice of books at all price points, easy checkout
Fine but on checkout it would be good to have the delivery date confirmed
Loved the discount; Was dismayed when, at check-out, it had already been applied.
