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've had no problems finding what I was looking for. I've shopped with Alibris some years ago and am pleased to know that you are still in business.

I wish that I could see the upfront shipping rates immediately. In one of my orders some sellers charged a premium rate for sending dvds.

Shipping was suppose to be free with an over $100 order. I had to pay shipping on 2 items and one was a $1.87. Seems misleading.

I am ordering this book for the third time. My order has been cancelled twice. That does not make me feel good about your company.
