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 would have liked another quicker shipping choice.
Excellent search functionality. Found the book I was looking for on the first attempt.
Was able to find a number of interesting books I'd been searching for a while. Found them all at low prices, free shipping, and with coupon code.
I am a returning customer and love the wide variety.
Finding books I wanted were easy to find, site was easy to navigate. Thanks
Great discounts and easy navigation made it a joy.
Great collection, easy ordering, excellent service!
Very selfish of me, not all books that I wanted are here for sale.
Lots of good books to get, at reasonable prices. Prices offset the higher shipping costs, making it viable to purchase even on limited income.
Easy to find rare and used books for research purposes.
Items in my cart disappeared before the 12 hours promised. Sent an email requesting help and was told it could take up to 48 hours to get help. Thankfully I was able to find all but one item again today.
Easy navigation and understandable website. Great selection and really good prices.
The selection of titles is always good and it's easy to find my requirements. (I prefer hardcover and there's a search function for this.) I also appreciate the indication of condition of each book.
Owl Books has always provided reliable descriptions and quick service.
Free shipping "may be eligible", but not available. Disappointing
Stated eligible for free shipping, and then NOT available. Disappointing.
The site was confusing. It asked for 5 digit zip OR zip+4. When I tried the zip for it sent me back to change it to the 5 digit zip.
Thank you for this, I've been looking for this dvd everywhere
I just ordered it now, so no comments on shipping.
