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 have a coupon code for $5 off and free shipping. The website would not allow me to use my coupon, but kept replacing my coupon with their lesser coupon.

It seems that I had to enter my credit card information two or more time before the order was accepted. Also, I tried several time to create an account. When I clicked Save and Create, it just sent me back to the Save and Create Account page. Very possibly operator, me, error. I would like to create an account. Help would be appreciated or, I will try at your local store at ******* area.

Had a problem, sent an email to Customer Service, received a response that did not really address my problem. Problem may have been resolved but i seem to be having trouble completing my order.

Alibris attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Changing my mailing address was a complete mess. Someone in IT should address it.
