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.

It was relaxing and I will be back to get more movies thank you
Very quick and easy to order what I wanted. Previously ordered from this d its and book was in excellent condition!
The prices were awesome and it was quick and easy!
Very easy to use your search and payment systems Thank you. I like your basics on the page, without distractions.
I do not wish to have my credit card information stored by your firm. I should have the option to decline this part of the check-out process.
Cant checkout as guest, and it took five messages and posting on here for them to explain why. I could simply have used a different email and not lost out on half ny order. Page doesnt say you cant check out as guest if youve ever had an account.
There was a dollar off coupon but I lost it when I had to log in.
Shopping was quick and easy to understand. I'm hopeful the payment process and shipping goes well too!
Quickly found the book I was looking for and the particular copy (condition and price). Alibris is my go-to when shopping for new or used books (usually looking for the best used copy available.) Never ordered a book anywhere else and recommend Alibris to my friends.
I chose a book, "the Circle", and clicked Place Order; then a box popped up asking me to rate my experience: I gave it a five star. When I tried to get back to Place Order page the Very Good copy had disappeared and I had to start all over again. Of course, the copy I had tried to order had disappeared (because I had taken it, I think) and what remained were good copies which I have ordered. The complaint isn't just the missing copy but the nuisance!
The editions of The Poem of the Cid were confusing. In one place the 1985 edition listed W S Merwin as translator and in another place a different translator. Also price was confusing: the 1975 edition was listed as $28 but
In going back and forth I think I ended up with the 1975 ed translated by Merwin for $5.70! I hope this is correct!
Seems like average service. Nothing great nor bad.
It was imposs to change to my husbands card on this order. I guess its better that he signs up as customer
Check out was a mess Tom forever hagfish yo type my address in about 5 timed
The website has great prices. I was not able to see a photo of the actual book, and some website navigation was vague. But overall a good experience so far.
Easy to search and find options for used/out of print books.
It was good except I had a coupon for 3$ off and never given the option to enter the code to apply it
I lost a book one time from an order here... literally just never came... BUT great resource for buying cheap books! I've received all of my other books!
SO EASY TO FIND THE BOOKS I NEED! I love the setup.
I had ordered this book earlier from another supplier. I received a cancellation notice from Alibris detailing a refund and telling me that in my cart would be other offers from other suppliers as close to this order if available. I went to my cart and found this copy which I ordered. Very impressed because Alibris made this transaction so easy for me.
So far, my shopping experience has been great. No problems and easy to complete.
Cool, just in time to see the band live with VIP in my hometown to get signed! Sweet!
I think there's a glitch in your system. I was shopping, added items to my cart and then went to sign in (needed to change my password). When I signed in, everything in my cart was "lost". However, when I went back to reselect the items (a pain in itself)... they were all apparently "locked up" in some phantom cart for 12 hours. Went back in the morning after the 12 hours, and the items were again available fro selection after signing in first this time.
That should be correctable? Thanks otherwise!
Every step toward checkout including receiving discounts is clear and quick.
Finding the item was easy, and the price is a bargain!
