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 all the copies of the chronicle of Narnia that I wanted and was so excited to find this 50th edition that I had for myself. Now my grandchildren will have it!

You guys are great but I'm getting the feeling that all businesses have an inferiority complex. No offence but I can't have a Doctor's appt. Or buy anything without an appeal for a critique. Maybe after I buy a few things?

I found the books I was looking for quickly. On the 2nd one, the algorithm changed my input from "companies..." to "company..." but then the 4th or 5th result was the correct title, which starts with "companies..."
