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.

Found what I was looking for right away at a great price. Placing an order and checkout were not cumbersome and easy for the user to understand. Thank you

It would be nice if any discounts were elegible from my actual cost instead of only the price without shipping since the shipping is often as much or more than the book itself.

Your ordering system is faulty-not manageable-NO ability to communicate to correct Shipping seems very expensive?

I like trade paperbacks rather than paperbacks and can't always get the books I want in trade paperbacks. This is not your problem; just a comment.

Not the most user friendly but simple enough. Just took a minute to figure out where to click to add to cart.

The interface was confusing when I went to look at the books in my cart. I accidentally ended up in the booksellers' shop.
