Alibris has a kickin-fun look to them in blues and oranges. They brag that they have over 50 million new and used books available. That's a little misleading. What they mean to say is that they are fairly certain they can obtain that many if you want ...

After attending a few meetings of my local breast cancer support group, I volunteered to start a lending library to have a selection of books available for women looking for information about the disease, treatment options and even a few memoirs for ...

I first came across Alibris through Mypoints.com. I had been looking for some old, out-of-print books for my master's dissertation, and I just wasn't finding them on line. A friend had mentioned Alibris, and then I saw it at MyPoints, so I decided to...

I just came back from T
ombstone,
Arizona and saw a few books that I wanted. Of course, these books were quite expensive in Tombstone - double the usual purchase price. So I checked out Epinions for help with online ...

Easy to order. Good when things go smoothly... but, TOTALLY LACKING in customer service when there's a problem. ~*~*~*~*~ Alibris.com is a main storefront for a massive network of independent booksellers with mostly used books. They offer most ...

Albris is an online bookseller which is teamed up with many smaller booksellers to offer a fairly good range of new and used books (for a single seller). This arrangement means two things for the average customer: (1) You could end up paying a lot ...

In the past Alibris.com was my choice for buying out of print books online. They had a great selection; the books were shipped on time and packaged well. I had no real complaints.
In February I ordered a Jonathan Carroll book from one of...

I placed an order for a book from Alibris on November 23, and the money was charged to my credit card that day. They sent me an email stating my book should arrive by December 7. It was supposedly shipped out the next day, but after two weeks I still had ...

I love Alibris, but it does have its shortcomings. If you want a book fast, head to Amazon or B&N. If you want a book you can't find anywhere, Alibris is the place. Part of the fun of shopping at Alibis is the thrill you get when you finally find ...

I've ordered books and movies from Alibris at least four times. I've never had a problem with them. Generally speaking, the book prices are cheaper than you will find elsewhere; however, often an out-of-print book will be listed with a price over $100. ...

SHOP AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU HAVE A DEADLINE, SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE (don't even think of ordering textbooks from Alibris). DO NOT ORDER FROM AN INDIVIDUAL SELLER BY THE NAME OF "PAYLESS." IF YOU MUST ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE, USE A CREDIT CARD ...

For used (and new), and out-of-print books, Alibris does everything right that Amazon does wrong:
1.) Unlike the chaotic flea market that Amazon's Marketplace (used book market) has become, Alibris's merchants are actual professionals who sell...

Received all five books within a week. One of my books was not packed well and the jacket was damaged during shipping. Otherwise I'm happy with Alibris and would shop again.

The book that shipped from an Alibris seller arrived a few days later than their estimated date, but it wasn't a problem.

Ordered 5/16 standard shipping 7-010 days. Contacted seller (through Albris-seller used different) they said wait 30 days for selivery. No tracking used, everything I have ever bought online anywhere-ebay,amazon etc. has kept in 10 day range for shipping. I would have purchased it elsewhere had I known this 30 day rule before they research order was going to happen. Yes they do state that in their shipping policies, but if the item says it was shipped 5/16 and they say it was scheduled for on or about 5/25, then the 30 day thing should not have occured. Is this book floating around somewhere? Was it lost? was it stolen? We won't know till 30 days then I probably will have to start from the beginning again. If its Mary's (the sellers) problem then they shouldn't use that store.

Media mail was a little pricey and it took too long. That was my only slightly negative comment. I think UPS for around the same price would have been better.
