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 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.

Good, but at the last moment on the order form before finalizing,, there was a little box that I had already unchecked but was now checked to receive advertising... I don't want advertising!

As a library, we are tax exempt, yet there is no field to have tax charges removed.

I ordered a Hardcover from another dealer and they sent Softcover. Only refunded me the shipping cost. I hope I get a Hardcover to match all other Hardcover Code books I have by OS Hawkins. Thanks Hope to do more business with you later.

Service is fine, but until I get the product, I really can't rate the service.
