This site is well organized and easy to navigate. It is easy to compare prices and other information, such as condition, for each item.

Easy to find what I'm looking for and a great selection.

I sent book as gift but there are no gift options (message, hide price)

When checking the book it indicated I could select among shipping options at check out but that was not the case

Did you ever buy a car from a dealer only to DISCOVER the "Selling Price" "wasn't" anywhere near the "selling price" because they omitted the hidden costs? In the case of this alibris transaction, the hidden costs totaled 39.5% of the billed charges. That is absurd and an insult to the buyers! The fulfillment charge is built into the selling price. (if not, you don't know how to do biz); the carrier get a huge piece of the action action... 24% ($2.89 USPS media rate), so Alibris gets their additional lift $1.10 (9.1%) and of course the government gets their touch as well $0.77 (6.4%). It would be better for the buyer to know the TOTAL estimated in the SELLING price. In this case, the increase was 39.5%. Easy fix, the ZIP Code hold the devils details. It is not to say savvy buyers don't understand it is cheating to understate the total cost. IT REFLECTS BADLY ON ALIBRISS! Cheated buyers remember! So list your selling price (include all your lifts) and ask for the ZIP Code up front and calculate shipping and tax so the buyer knows. THEN REMIND YOUR BUYERS THIS IS THE "Net, Net Price" and is not deliberately understated. Cleaner approach and certainly more honest and buyers appreciate honest sellers! One last point, if i don't check Yes for a follow up, even if i paid the same money, i don't get: "order confirmation, additional feedback options, and convenient customer care resolution services should any issues arise." THAT SUX BIGTIME! IT ALSO CHEAPENS WHO YOU ARE! THIS IS MY 1ST AND LAST ORDER!

Easy navigation and good search function make ordering a pleasant experience.

Only second time I have ordered from here. So as of now I have found what I wanted.

Great website. Easy to navigate and view on mobile device.

Quick and easy shopping. Had just what I was looking for!

It showed the book to be new for $12.49 and then switched to a used book and a new one for $22…bait and switch?

A little difficult on checkout but overall everything very smooth

By far the most comprehensive used book site I've ever used, with some of the best pricing.

The cart empties when you want to check other options. Very annoying-

Fast and economical. I like supporting Goodwill, as well.

Hard to find books in specific categories when shopping for item to get to free shipping minimum. Specifically, free shipping eligible book for 2 year old.

Probably my misunderstanding, but I thought I'd be eligible $4 off due to 2-day sale.

Also, when I continued shopping, items I put in cart were delated that I had only put in minutes before.

Pretty good. I had hoped that buying more books would reduce the shipping costs.
