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.

Quick checkout, and like the fact you could check out as a regular user or guest. Would buy more from Alibris (vs. That other online store) if they had more of the books I was looking for.

I love this site
February 12, 2022

I love this site. I couldn't find a hardcover anywhere else. The site is easy to use and the sellers are great.

Very easy transaction
February 12, 2022

Very easy transaction. If I may make a suggestion, would have loved to see "Continue Shopping" Button, as I was thinking about adding another cd to purchase from same Goodwill location. But I am grateful that you have this available.

Shipping is way too much as compared to other sites. You are losing lots of business without even knowing it.

Shopping was fine, would have liked an option to add a note since it is a gift being shipped to the recipient's address. I DO NOT AGREE TO HAVE MY FEEDBACK PUBLISHED

Was at 4 stars, but went down to three since I have to click the agree to publish box to give feedback. Do not like. Went down from a 9 to a 7 on the recommend to a friend for the same reason.

Easy to negotiate the site, and find what I am looking for. I appreciated the offerings of what else I may like and used it to order a second book.
