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.

It just took so much fiddling around and going over the same things so many times, just to enter my credit card number, even tho you have had it for many years.
Great prices and amazing opportunity to purchase pre owned books. Love the the site has all the tittles I'm looking for and this is now my go to site for buying books.

I still need to know how to update my email address.
It would be nice if I could access the cart from any page. It's a bit frustrating to have to start over every time I want to go back and look at something, and I have to start over. Also, I'm not quite sure how to update my email. I logged in as a guest with my previous university email. Now, I'm at a new university, and you won't be able to help me via email, because you don't have a valid email address. So, for me, there's really no benefit to creating an account vs being a guest. How will this be fixed? Update: I was able to enter my new email address when I checked "Yes" to an offer for you to follow up. Thank you.
Easy shopping experience and receipt of goods within a reasonable delay.
