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.

Honestly I am so glad I found this site. It's basically the only place I buy manga from (unless there's a specific volume that I can't find... which is rare). The site is easy to navigate, books are always affordable, and shipping is always fast. I feel like I usually wait around 4 days for my orders to come, which is nice. Should this site close down for some unforeseen reason I don't know what I'd do honestly, probably cry lol.

So far your ordering system seems understandable and simple enough for even a computer numbskull such as myself. Thank you.
