Overview

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.

I must confess I am a little surprised that I cannot proceed with the transaction without writing a review. The mechanics of the transaction were otherwise straightforward and I am happy to place my order with Alibris. Thank You

Convenient
February 5, 2025
Updated review

Convenient. It is nice to have an alternative to Amazon. Jeff Bezos has abused many Americans' goodwill domestically and abroad with the backing of an authoritarian criminal (Felon 47) and his gang of merry thieves in the USA.
