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.

I dont like the idea of having to save my credit card on your site without being able to place an order.

The website kept timing out and refreshing my cart without warning. It took me 8 attempts and several hours to keep re-entering my order before I could finally place it. Definitely need to adjust your website.

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

I was having trouble with you taking my credit card. I finally went back and tried again with another credit card. It went through.

I have always enjoyed shopping at Alibris. My greatest worry is shing by USPS. They have lost a package and is always late.

So all I have done so far was place an order, I have not received it yet as I literally just placed it. But so far it seems like a great cheap place to buy books, which I am very excited about. I will be placing more orders as long as I get what i ordered.
