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've been shopping on this site for several years and am always impressed.
Should be more clear with the shipping costs earlier in the checkout experience.
Alibris is a fantastic tool for me to use small booksellers.
Alibris is a great source for growing a library of both recent and older or out-of-print books.
Not being able to update my shipping address directly from the checkout page was a bit of a hassle. Otherwise, smooth transaction. Thanks
Great but I have a question.
I sometimes accidentally double the same book twice how can I avoid this before checkout!?!
PS Is there a way to track my order from to me!?!
Clear titles and headings. Easy to navigate between editions and used or new options for available books. Great selection.
IT bugs me that you say there is a $15 coupon one day only... then I find out at checkout that it only is applied if I spend much more money.
Books were easy to find and the web site is easy to navigate
I tried to order four copies of this book because I like to give copies of it for wedding presents and I couldn't find a way to do this. I hope you will help me with this.
Easy to navigate. Site. Check out easy for baby boomer not tech savvy
Very quick and easy to find what I needed and checkout was fast and easy, shipping price was fair.
I've shopped on Alibris for years. Always a good experience!
I think I've had orders through your company previous to this one... and the service has always been top notch!
Fix the postal code box in billing address on mobile. Currently only allows numbers which means canadians can't type in their postal codes and proceed with their orders.
Easy to use, has great prices for high quality books!
No way to switch to expedited shipping, no way to indicate gift, no way to contact seller
I had to do order twice and price of a book increases two dollars in the less than 5 minute span
It was not clear to me the coupon usage process. I think the coupon discount should be explained clearer and EARLIER in the ordering process because then you would be encouraged to buy more books because you are CLEARLY aware that you will be getting a discount with your coupon! EVERYONE LOVES THAT!
Only found this book here for a low price. I will use this site again for books.
