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.

The ability to shop without having a password would be wonderful. It is very frustrating. I tried to use your continue as guest and it would not work.
I had my order ready and it would not let use the easy checkout method. I had to get a new password thus loosing my order. Had to go through a new order of all I had already typed in.
Fast and easy check out. Self explanatory. I would recommend.
Easy quick just right - And I like that monies go to such a useful cause
Hopefully it will take less time than the max estimated ship time
Very helpful. Low cost and good quality books makes the shipping affordable!
When I can't find it at my local bookstore, I come here and they do great.
Did not have chance to insert discount code during order process.
Easy to navigate; detailed product information; many vendors with associated reviews; clear pricing and shipping information.
I could not figure out how to delete an old address.
I love this site. It's fast and books are in great condition. I recommend it to all my friends.
Would have liked pictures of the book - to confirm condition
Excellent, very easy. The biggest change is the delivery of the book. I stopped buying in the past was how slow the mailing took. Now it has really improved.
I like now how shipping costs are disclosed
Check out was easy and there are a lot of option to choose from based on the condition you are looking for.
It was easy. I wondered why it said "new condition" instead of just "new" for the book.
Great experience, but wish I had the option to include a gift message.
Great web site. EXCEPTIONALLY good handling of the password reset mechanism. I wasn't sure if I had an account, and it turned out that I did not. The email that I received explaining that was excellent.
I ordered my first book it was very easy and quick. I will use again.
Quite a ridiculous price for shipping considering the size of this book and the order quantity.
The great availability of books. Hopefully they will be in good shape.
