The shipping costs were increased several times during the process. I ended up paying 3€ more than the first page let me believe.

Smooth transaction. Makes me want to come back to the site because the website works perfect and order pages were well designed out and it was easy to complete the transaction. Very smooth transaction with very little friction. Thanks.

January 8, 2025
Updated review

Out of all the websites for books (particularly antiquarian ones) I find Alibris to be the best by far. The advertised price is always the price you pay, unlike other platforms that lure you in with a competitive price but once you click on the item the price rises and, in some instances, dramatically!
I love that the price on Alibris is always in my currency but most of all, my favourite thing about Alibris is the flat rate postage.
I am an academic / amateur historian. All the items I buy are for my personal collection. I do not resell any items. I do not have an unlimited amounts of money nor do I work in conjunction with any business or other person/s. My purchases are always on a strict budget and are always carefully researched and planned.
I am extremely grateful that Alibris allows me to indulge my passion for old and often smelly books within my niche area of interest. I thank-you.
