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 was having trouble with you taking my credit card. I finally went back and tried again with another credit card. It went through.

It was very quick and easy to find the book I've been trying to find for a very long time. I liked that the site tells you where your item is coming from.

I have always enjoyed shopping at Alibris. My greatest worry is shing by USPS. They have lost a package and is always late.

So all I have done so far was place an order, I have not received it yet as I literally just placed it. But so far it seems like a great cheap place to buy books, which I am very excited about. I will be placing more orders as long as I get what i ordered.

Efficient and user-friendly

Efficient and user-friendly. Similar used-book offerings on Amazon are much higher priced.

Shopping carts are deleted in a very short time. I began the ordering process for these books yesterday and had to start over numerous times, since I was awaiting further specific book recommendations from a colleague.

Stop defaulting me to sign up for emails. That is a scummy move that only low level lifeforms like marketers, MBAs, and salespeople would do.

When I signed in I was offered a $5.00 reward for signing up for something or other. Where is it?
