Alibris UK Reviews Summary

Alibris enjoys a strong reputation among customers for its extensive selection of books, particularly rare and antiquarian titles, coupled with competitive pricing and reliable service. Many users appreciate the straightforward pricing structure and flat-rate shipping, which enhance their shopping experience. However, some concerns have been raised regarding the checkout process, including difficulties in changing shipping addresses and the requirement for lengthy reviews, which can be frustrating. Overall, while customers express high satisfaction with the platform's offerings, there is room for improvement in user interface and customer support aspects.

Very straight forward BUT I hadn't noticed that there was an option to check what edition of a book I wanted after my 3rd purchase here. Maybe make those options more noticeable

One slight improvement so you won't be labled/libled as Amazon, quote the shipping cost as one selects an item and don't just chuck it in at the end.
This is very tedious, and if you want my opinion, I wld not choose your coy as a first choice.
I always get four prices and alibris is quickly sliding off my list of coys to get prices off for exactly the reason I have stated above.
Well, I saved approx 25% from other quoted prices, but it has taken me hrs to delete, chk the postage on each item individually, etc, etc, quite tedious.
Will I sit through this experience again? I think not.
Bon Voyage alibris!

Well organised web site and many titles unobtainable elsewhere can be found here. Also very pleased to not be shopping at an outlet owned by Amazon!

I ordered a different edition of this same book from WeBuyBooks a few days back and received a cancellation message since the supplier did not have it in stock. Why didn't they simply check to see if they had another edition of the book and propose that book to me instead? It would have been cheaper than having to make a separate order, and it would have saved me the time of doing their work for them.
