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.

Very hard to order due to problems with password and email. Had to go through the whole process taking about 45 minutes. A real pain!

Shopping in general very good but shipping cost very high at times and too inconsistent (treble from Texas than California to Spain, but Texas is nearer)

Was not going to buy any books because it kept telling me I had to pay shipping. This needs to be made clearer before you get to the final check out.

If I put in my email, I thought I was supposed to get a $5.00 coupon. I did not get one.

If it comes and plays(even if the box is in terrible condition but the DVDs play) then I'm completely happy with your site

I liked that the seller seems to have really looked at the actual copy of the used book i'm buying. The description was not generic!

Love that I can choose a book, but I don't see where it tells me shipping until I get to checkout. Would rather know and make well informed choices ahead of time.

Found the book I have been looking for the last three years. The price was much more reasonable than other book sites.

So much difficulty signing in
April 26, 2021

So much difficulty signing in. Why don't you have Thru the Bible 1 Peter and 2 Peter in stock. I always look for my books on your site first!

Would prefer more pictures of the inside of the books. And measurements when the book is opened.
