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.

Very good, easy to check out and find what I was looking for.
Recently I have ordered one book which was not delivered and canceled.
Still I did not receive the refund.
So far so good. Found what I was looking for at a very good price.
Found just what I needed at a great price and with the necessary information about the used conditions.
I chose to order 4 books from one store to keep shipping to a minimum. There was no option to consolidate shipping.
I'd like the be able to sort books by seller so just one postage could be used.
It was frustrating because I thought I was getting free shipping but no matter what I did I didn't get it and it was even taken away for a few of the books I bought. It was there and then it showed I had to pay it again. Also Items were removed from my cart if I didn't buy them quick enough. It was a frustrating experience.
Customers are wrongly led to believe (the bait) that shipping costs will be FREE for all of their items IF they order a specified amount of items with the truck symbol, but then when they get to checkout, they find out that free shipping only applies to the items with the truck symbol (the switch). Shipping is then anywhere from 300 times to 1,000 times higher than the price of the items. Not nice!
I like being able to support GOODWILL, LIBRARIES, and other NON-AMAZON book stores. Thank you for making this hub so easy to do that.

Large selection on the topic I wanted and priced reasonably.
Went really well found what we needed and made the purchase. Thanks for having what we wanted in-stock. Can't wait til it shows up.
Easy to locate and purchase. However, shipping costs high for a book.
Fast, would have liked to know the shipping carrier first though.
It is a pain trying to shop when you have a list. You have this set up for single purchases.
Alibris is a pretty-good website. It's easy to navigate. Most people would probably give it five stars but I'm critical of other programmers and don't easily grant perfect ratings.
!. I don't want you saving my credit card info!
2. Shipping edit was not allowed, even though it said it was... Standard shipping seems to take lax-a-daisy book sellers weeks. Priority mail is the way to go. Choices.
I had given email before but didn't receive $5 coupon. This is 1st time ordering with you.
I wish I could tell the size of the Redwall series I am ordering. I want the largest hardcover editions, and I have received numerous smaller hardcover editions when I order from other places. Can the dimensions be added to the description?
I have ordered from this store many times and i think it is the best on-line place to find books. I have told many people about this store.
