When trying to pay by credit card the screen does not offer me an option to enter my security number on the card. So I have to leave the site then return then it offers me such an option. This is frustrating.
Easy, bit expensive but everything is going up in price.
Fantastic! I used to borrow this book from my school Library in Texas *50* years ago. When I left that school, I wanted to keep the book because I loved it SO much, but I left it in the Library! I've found it after all these years, and it is coming to me in the northeast of Scotland, where I now live! Alibris is making a 50-year-old wish come true!
It wouldn't accept my credit card details 3 times but then magically did, and secondly, you are selling the same book - one copy for 74p and another for £11. What's wrong with the 74p version? I guess I will find out :)
Always works well for me and I am happy with my purchases each time I order
As ever, I find what I'm looking for & books are in good condition
As usual very easy to order books. I'm sure they will be delivered withe Alibris ' normal speed.
First class: all my previous orders have been well handled!
Some sort of Internet gateway error at the first attempt. Otherwise, fine.
Would be so good if 2 things were in place:
A) a way of calculating the shipping costs on the fly
B) a way of amalgamating the order into as few separate retailers as possible for the best price overall
I love being able to buy from book dealers from all over the country. It's great to support them and not the awful Bezos! The Alibris website is very easy to use and there's a huge selection of books at very reasonable prices.
So lovely to buy from someone helping out lots of small booksellers.
I wanted to pay with PayPal but was unable to. I was also unable to enter my alphanumeric UK postcode despite having chosen the United Kingdom in the country field. If I hadn't really wanted the book and wanted to buy it from this particular seller because they are nearby, I would have given up. Eventually, by going via the seller's page, I was able to checkout successfully. No PayPal option, though. A frustrating, user-hostile experience.
Actual purchase process is fine, but I could not find where the "Good", "Very good", etc. book conditions are defined.
I really like to know if there are, or are likely to be, faults in the book that I would find unacceptable, or other faults that I would be happy to accept only if the price is right
Quick and easy transaction. Always happy with previous purchases and service, so hope this is no different.
Tried last week Put in basket set up a/c book gone
Excellent shopping experience and i was able to find the book I want
I like the concept of Alibris, but a small problem in the shopping experience is there isn't as much description of the books as on Amazon. I always end up having to read the blurb about the book on Amazon and some of the reviews there, before coming back to Alibris to buy the book. This wastes some time.
You sell a book and tell me its not available, but there is another copy available. Than you make me pay again. Now i have paid twice for a book and i am not sure i will receive my money back or the book..
Difficulty in updating credit card details and billing address: website refreshed and deleted data every time "Save and Continue" pressed. Accept all cookies enabled in browser. Eventually got around the problem by selecting "No" for "Is billing address the same as delivery address?", then re-entering the same data for billing address as previously. Very frustrating.
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.
Shipping far too expensive compared with many other book sellers and around the world; I wouldn't recommend shopping here unless you live in the UK, or a country where books can be posted to you at a sensible postage rate.
Lately, it seems Alibris fails to charge my credit card pretty much every time I purchase something, and I end up having to retry several times (and along the way "update" my stored credit card information by entering it again) before the checkout will finally work.
Nice GUI, making it easy to find books, and to keep track of orders.
I have ordered a book but the shipping is really small, and its shipping from USA so am a bit confused, but want the order so have placed it, but I think something was not right. Anyhow, looking forward to getting the book.
So far very good. I used to use Alibris a lot some years ago but when I couldn't find the titles I wanted I went elsewhere. However, decided to once again start using Alibris and found the item straight away at a very good price. Thank you.
