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.

Yes, it was a long time since i used this. I had to redue my pass word. When i went back to order again. The items were still in an unknown cart! I had to wait till the next day and sign in and than i found the items again to order. Its a program issue so far.

Re-setting my password on my phone was difficult. The font size was about 3 on my phone. No option to view my password reset. Took me about 10 times to get the passwords to match. I'm elderly, and cannot see well

I may be having a few technical problems with my browser and/or my firewall. It keeps stalling my PayPal interface screen and it doesn't return me to Alibris. I appreciate having the credit card interface as an alternative.

Your shipping charges are way too high, especially compared to Abe Books ($0.00 - $3.99) and Thriftbooks ($0.00). I probably won't buy from your site again.
