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.

Clumsy interface and won't permit a guest checkout if an email is already in the system.

Old-school, hardcopy, flip and highlight the pages. This is the future when the digital, e-society eclipses.

Several times when I marked books foot be added to my cart they did not appear, or disappeared later. Each listing should be accompanied by a table of contents, especially the anthology type of readers. It's frustration to stab in the dark as to what the students will be reading, or if they will be reading what they have already read. I would like to be able to split my order tointo various mailing addresses.

Excellent, as always. Would be nice if shipping were visible when selecting books, but this is not a big deal.

Don't see why you charge the same price on every dvd, even when buying several at a time. Combined shipping should be less. If I come back, I will buy one at a time.

Alibris has been working this search for me for a year now - and while i think i'm paying a lot for this book (especially sight unseen), i'm hopeful the book will arrive within the timeframe estimated and in good condition - i've been disappointed a lot lately, but i'd love to give alibris five stars if i can/when i receive the package - thanks

There are many great titles at really good prices. I was a bit confused about the Free shipping and how the price of shipping went up and down during checkout. I almost canceled my order.
