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.

This appeared to be a rare book and I now know where I can find additional ones of the same type.

Books were very affordable

Books were very affordable. It would be good if the shipping from one vendor could be adjusted when buying 6 books.

Would be helpful to know shipping before closing cart, also used advanced search and to find Free Shipping items, and items found still have shipping cost? I had to re-do cart several times because of this.

I wish there was a filter so you could pick certain features. I'm always looking for large print for my moon and it's hard to find on this site.

You tricked me into signing up for the newsletter which I will immediately opt out of. Don't like that.

Quick, efficient and I was able to find a high-quality used book that is out of print. [My comment should be anonymous]

Nice to be able to shop by the bookseller, not just title. All my books could ship from the same seller. :)

There is much better information on Alibris than at Amazon or Abe Books. Your search engine is accurate, unlike the highly misleading Amazon searches, which can be wild. Your web site provides the best, detailed information about the book, its edition, its condition, and the bookseller. I prefer Alibris, so far, to Abe Books and by far in preference over Amazon, which has its overall advantages, but Amazon overall... well, it sucks. I would go for Alibris any day.
