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.

Good
January 12, 2022

Good. Would like if these books include " dust jackets " or not. It matters. Could you require sells to list this information.

It went well, I found most of the books needed. Some used books were more than new which seemed odd. Overall I am pleased. I got my books for 4 years at the cheapest price. I received the wrong book and it was difficult to get it returned a year ago. That was my only issue
