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.

Très bien, les frais de ports sont raisonnables, j'ai trouvé un livre d'occasion aux US que je ne pouvais pas trouver en France même neuf. J'espère réceptionner mon colis comme prévu.

I have always enjoyed my shopping exoerience with Alibris. There is an excellent choice between used books and new books, depending upon which I am seeking at the time. Also I do not feel hasselled or misled into other choices.

I would have liked to have an approximate date for delivery before paying for the book. I am now risking over £11 and might not get the book before my course begins.
