I recently purchased an old classic DVD from Alibris entitled the Good Earth. The cost of the movie was extremely low. As always, the DVD arrived by/before the date promised. The DVD was as always in excellent condition and well packaged. This company is very reputable and because of the excellent prices I have been able to really expand my DVD library. I love Alibris. If you are looking for an old book or movie, you stand a good chance in finding it here. Trying to save money -- this is the place. As soon as I place my order -- I immediately get E-mail confirmation of my order and an update on when I can expect it to arrive. I have ordered numerous items from Alibris and NEVER had a problem. I am totally satisfied and without reservation tell you that you will not be disappointed in using them.
