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.

Going back and forth from my selection to order. Difficult.
This web site is easy to use
The book I wanted was available in different prices, from low to high; the books I wanted were readily available in the US, even though they are usually sold in the UK. I am very happy with this transaction!
It was easy to find and order my books. The price of the books was excellent. The shipping was more than the books.
I have been looking for this book everywhere. I'm so glad I found it for this price!
Finding what I was looking for was quick and purchasing was quick!
So far so good I'll reserve comments until I receive the merchandise
So far great and looking forward to more acquisition transactions
I was surprised to find a book, one day after it's release, selling at this price.
Loved the combined shipping discount that was shown automatically
Excellent price, easy transaction. Will have to see about shipping but good so far!
Interface is easy, fast, and informative, with great selection and prices
Shipping costs need to be easier to see other than waiting until the end. Also, more information on the books would help determine the purchase.
So far so good. Waiting to see the books when they arrive.
Excellent but for wanting to increase my order. In changing it from 1 book to get the 3 you have in stock, I lost the order. Then I had to retype everything.
Generally easy to use. Strange "your order has changed".
I found just the books I looked for and for the price I wanted, also.
Easy to search and find the books I was looking for
I looked into the site because I was given a $22 coupon which when I found the books that I liked did not apply apply.
Excellent books at reasonable prices, and large selection.
It's been great so far. The only negative is the offer for free coupons. If I hadn't been paying attention, I would be receiving unwanted coupons in my email. No thanks.
It's too early to accurately say if I would recommend Alibris to someone else.
I want to stop shopping at Amazon. I hope the books arrive in a reasonable time and in good shape.
