"Buy.com is always looking for new ways to offer customers the widest selection of products at the best prices, and one way we achieve this robust catalog is through our industry-leading marketplace of third-party sellers," said Neel Grover, CEO and president of Buy.com. "With the Alibris relationship, shoppers can enjoy great savings on a wider selection of books—and support independent booksellers—without ever having to leave the Buy.com site."

Buy.com customers will benefit from Alibris's vast selection, competitive prices, and convenient marketplace shopping experience. To achieve integration with Buy.com, Alibris used Buy.com's seller tools and Alibris's Partner Integration Framework, which lets Alibris integrate with partners in as little as four weeks.

"Our independent booksellers asked us to help them sell more books," said Brian Elliott, president and CEO of Alibris. "Our partnership with Buy.com achieves that goal by providing our sellers with access to the millions of eager shoppers who already flock to Buy.com in search of a wide variety of products at competitive prices."
