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.

Albris is the one-stop shopping site for the out of print or used books. The books received are in good condition. A bonus for a book lover.

After I clicked "place order" I was taken immediately to the Payment page. At that point there was no way to edit my shipping address until I went back and then had to re-enter all my financial information once the address had been updated. Not cool.

I some how lost my first attempt at ordering when I went to sign in---cart was lost and then when I tried again I lost two of my items priced at $2 each. One I didn't mind paying a bit more for but the other was really jacked up. Not sure what I did wrong but it is what it is.

I was trying to shop as a guest without creating an account or password and you made me create an account anyway.

However I was thinking I was going to get all of these items for half the price because I thought I would get free shipping by buying this many items. However, I was so excited about these items I still wanted to buy them.
