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.

Only issue was how screen total for shipping changed after the time I entered the shipping address and before I placed order
The amounts should have been the same for shipping

Not increased

Easy site to navigate. Don't like prechecjed options for emails, newsletters. They should not be checked.

Alibris has been the best website I have found for researching the evolution of relatively obscure technologies, like progress in photogrammetry from the 1930s to the present time.

Shipping was more than triple the cost of the goods. Can slower be less expensive?

Alibris attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

My family has used Alibris often over the years and we have always been well pleased. They have a great selection, a fine web site and trusty worthy sellers (that are well monitored by Alibris).
