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.

Alibris is my go to when I want an actual book instead of an eBook. Always a good selection and the vendors do a great job of getting the product shipped.

So far, so good! Everything was straightforward, although there wasn't an obvious/easy way to get back to find one last book once I had moved on to the Paypal screen.
