Alibris Reviews Summary
Alibris enjoys a generally positive reputation among customers, particularly for its wide selection of used books at competitive prices and reliable shipping. Many customers appreciate the timely delivery and the ability to track orders, contributing to overall satisfaction. However, concerns arise regarding the variability in book conditions, with some items not meeting expectations, and delays in shipping for urgent needs. Additionally, the separate shipping fees for each book can deter purchases. Despite these issues, the platform remains a favored choice for many due to its extensive inventory and user-friendly website.

I had a good experience, but it did not let me change one of the fields for the shipping address

You couldn't proceed with my order for more than 10 times! I tried with every credit card I have, and I tried in different days, but I was unable to placer the order. Finally, I changed the currency from Japanese yen to US dollar and placed my order with PayPal. This did work. In the past I bought several books with Alibris but this is the first time I experienced this problem.
Some items selected did not show up in cart, so after order was placed I needed to return an place another order

The databases make it very easy to search for a book, and check out is also easy.
Sometimes your search gets a bit confused and one has to go back to the very beginning.
Special search required for french language.
Does single title search call up page with all possible editions?
