Very clear and easy to make the order. Many thanks!
Finding the right books was very easy and intuitive
It's annoying the website doesn't remember my input in the payment details when I forget to fill out one of the form items
Shipping address should be editable in the first instance it is shown
Très bien, les frais de ports sont raisonnables, j'ai trouvé un livre d'occasion aux US que je ne pouvais pas trouver en France même neuf. J'espère réceptionner mon colis comme prévu.
Your system rejected my first credit card whose details were correctly entered about 4 times.
Found what I wanted at a reasonable price within minutes

Four days later I got a cancellations notice. Well, how can you ship an intem and find out four days later, that it's not available?
Easy to use website and the only e-seller who sold a copy of the book I was after!
Need to show debit card option not just credit card for Visa
Superb, appreciate the easy & fast checkout (better than Amazon etc.)
Informative, logically laid and efficient. Excellent experience in all respects.
All very straightforward including receiving a reminder that my credit card expired at the end of last month.
I have always enjoyed my shopping exoerience with Alibris. There is an excellent choice between used books and new books, depending upon which I am seeking at the time. Also I do not feel hasselled or misled into other choices.
Buying went smoothly. Now let`s see if dispatched quickly and as described.
I would have liked to have an approximate date for delivery before paying for the book. I am now risking over £11 and might not get the book before my course begins.
Always my first choice for sourcing specific books
