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.

There was some weirdness with adding and removing items from my cart (once accidentally), but overall I'm very happy with the site.

To date, I've always had good experiences with Alibris, and I was able to quickly locate used copies of 2 more books I need for a college class over the summer, so that was a relief.

It's good but It could use a bit more simplifying when it comes to shipping and finding the right deal. Also a college/student discount should defiantly be offered. Seems to be a good website hopefully everything goes smoothly and I can repeat business with you guys. Also it seems like shipping is outrageously overpriced when it comes to multiple orders I was ready to spend $200 on DVDs but the shipping came out to $150? There's no way it costs that much to send that many dvds. Had there been a better combo deal for shipping I would have definitely bought them all.

Website is mostly clear. I thought I saved my credit card info as template but it seems that it wants me to retype info every time.

In the finishing up stage, where you change the means of payment your website is difficult to use. Because of this it took me three tries to submit the order.
