Love that I can complete the series from one shop/store!
I've been using this site for about ten years. It's so simple and has an amazing selection. I've never had a single issue.
I have been so satisfied with your service & how easy you have it set up to find a book for me.
DOLORES I am 88 years old & love online shopping. Thank You
I really hate to pay more for shipping than for the item, especially on some of the very cheap paperbacks.
All books are ordered from the same seller. Therefore shipping cost should be greatly reduced.
Buying a book that is widely available in print so it easy to locate and to purchase
Very smooth buying experience. I was searching for a specific edition in a popular Sunset Western Garden Book series. Items presented several variation w/o id of specific edition. So went and searched for the specific edition with a associated cover.
I like what multiple copies of a title are listed each with a pull down menu button so that I can easily compare conditions of each copy.
Excellent site: Great Search function and very easy to compare the different book conditions and their prices!
I don't understand the process but the proving I am not a bot seems a lot smoother than having to id which box hides the bus or crosswalk
I found exactly what I wanted by entering a partial title of the book. That was great.
Takes the place of the second hand book stores I liked so much in my young years
How about letting me review what I have ordered before I fill in address, etc? There is probably a way to look over the order, but I could not find it. Thanks, LH
I don't like it that the shipping cost comes as a bad surprise at the end
Love the condition of music used books! Thanks Alibris!
My first time buying with Alibris. It was fast and nice. Now expecting my new book! Blessings! Thank you! :)
I had items in my cart walked away for 20 minutes and they were gone. Could not find them again, really disappointed.
Alibris not only offers an astonishing array of titles, many of them obscure, but is user friendly in design.
Alibris' format is attractive and simple to navigate.
Alibris offers the consumer a wide aray of titles and in a wide variety of conditions from "fair" to "new".
Alibris is a great resource to locate used books and they aggregate sellers in a user friendly interface. Love it!
Honestly, I do not know your company. I look forward seeing the products that you sell thru the Internet. My interests are Science, automotive, aerospace, animals. I also love all music except Rap, and movies, documentaries movies. I made the first Crash Dummy and are the co-inventor of the first Dummy's at the Sheller-Globe R&D Centers for Interior Automotive, my hobby is restoration of Corvette's from 1953 to 1982 with only blown engine's!
I never thought I'd find this rare, out of print book. Now I own it!
I would like more details on the books, like maybe view a few pages
Shipping often costs more than the item being purchased. Other than this, I am very satisfied with my shopping experience.
No place to note promo code oil for savings. I have ordered before and never like this disappointed.
My only complaint would be that I couldn't see the shipping discount until after putting in my payment information, so I got worried I was about to be charged $70 for shipping lol. Then I left the page and came back a minute later to put in my payment information and go to the review page, and realized it had gotten rid of the coupon I put in a minute before. I'd say, fix those two things. I also think it'd be great if you let sellers specify their shipping discounts. I spent 10 minutes making a cart of a bunch of books from the same seller cause I thought the shipping wouldn't be too bad since it was all together, only for it to tell me shipping would be $5o+, unless I can't see that discount until after putting in my payment information, but either way, I shouldn't have to go through all that to figure out shipping will be that much.
Password didn't work, had to change, lost book I had checked to order
