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.

The "other" cart is confusing and doesn't seem to work properly, for me anyways. Otherwise, I love alibris.

They had the title I was searching for and even suggested other titles which got me to order a few more bargain titles. The online ordering process was quick and simple.

I didn't even know this website existed but it sure helps college students who aren't interested in purchasing $30+ books. So, thank you.

Easy to navigate
January 8, 2022

Easy to navigate. However there were so many options that I did get a little overwhelmed. I can see that all the options are a great idea for the more serious book hunters/collectors.

Choosing the books was easy, getting a discount coupon sucked! Your shipping page showed your shipping charge for the first book at $4.49 and $3.49 charge for each additional one. That is not what I paid, $4.49 each. You should charge what you advertise!

Great so far, but the shipping could use some help. Not too many do the shipping deal, I have found.

I click on coupon, left my email and address and info with you and then there was no coupon. That's rude. Now email will start to come and for what? That's unfair

Easy purchase, found the application for use on my device after reading a paragraph. I almost abandoned the sale before reading that paragraph because I thought it was a platform distribution only.
