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 easily navigated site! Had the books I wanted!
Too many dark patterns e.g. auto-signing up for newsletter. Shipping costs are not displayed on the search results page. (Or requiring to have this "feedback published on public websites" right here)
Alibris almost always has the book I'm searching for at a decent price, and provides good descriptions of a used book's overall shape/wear and tear.
Alibris had a visible place in search listings, and a decent price. So long as shipping isn't glacial, then I'll be happy

Site could be better, could be easier to go back to home or search page before submitting order
Website is easy to use and I found the book I needed at a great price.
First time shopping and it has been a breeze. Can't wait for my book to arrive!
I knew exactly what I wanted to buy, so it worked out well for me. However, not so easy to browse books.
