Complicated to add a different address for sending
And asked me three times for the card number
And addresses can't be chosen using the Post code. One has to fill in everything by hand. Primitive
Found book I needed easily (using partial book name as I wasn't sure of the spelling of the German author's name) on Bookfinder, who referred me to Alibris. Checkout was painless and shipping was less than I had expected!
Quick loading times, no fuss appearance and easy to navigate and filter through results. Great experience on the site so far, now to see how well the order turns out.
Still waiting for 3 books which shipped on Sep 27 and Sep 29. Would understand if it took more time to ship from USA, but no info re expected arrival date in the details sections
Difficult to "verify" my card details. How and where do I do that?
The best supplier of hard-to-find books in very good condition.
Tried repeatedly to enter last three digits on card, eventually successful - given my computer skills almost certainly my fault?
All went well, though I think the estimated shipping cost of £2.99 for a hardback book from the USA to the UK will require some adjustment by the seller - it should be about £20-25.
It did not recognise my perfectly valid Visa debit card, so had to use the back-up Visa credit card instead - poor show there, otherwise OK.
Most of the time items arrive in much better condition than other sellers, I would say consistently. However, shipping speeds are also very slow, possibly due to the lockdown.
If the products live up to their descriptions I will have gotten some good deals :]. Thank you as ever for giving us bookworms an alternative to that wich shall not be named...[amazon] ;]
Buying from you for 10+ years and never once found any of your vouchers relevant. Most 2nd book purchases are sub £10 so you really need to lower your voucher thresholds
Very few sellers on your website ever put photos which is annoying.
Also every voucher email I receive from alibris are very useful
Always good service and have found the books I've wanted. Thanks.
Convenient, efficient check-out process, standard shipping fee at reasonable cost
Research for items and shopping procedure is very easy, there is usually a large variety of items to choose from (used in different conditions or new, cheap or expensive).
Easy and quick buying procedure. Would prefere to see the exact shipping costs before I go to check out.
So far so good - mostly everything arrives OK. You would do better if you asked after the books arrive!
Really Pleased with
Price of item
Price of shipping
UK Base & currency
Have "subscribed" - I think just to emails, but am concerned that there may be a hidden fee involved as I have been had by a subscription fee before by other outfits.?
