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.

Good buying experience but would be perfect if the order page confirmed the condition of the book ordered (there were 2 available from the seller, 1 good, 1 very good - I chose the latter as I only ever buy very good or better items).

Previous review

I learnt during this purchase process that Alibris add $7 to the seller's price (in this case $13) as a charge for the shipping method used. I consider this to be deceitful to both seller and buyer. By all means charge for your administration, but it is part of the shipping cost, not the product.
