Alibris UK Reviews Summary

Alibris enjoys a strong reputation among customers for its extensive selection of books, particularly rare and antiquarian titles, coupled with competitive pricing and reliable service. Many users appreciate the straightforward pricing structure and flat-rate shipping, which enhance their shopping experience. However, some concerns have been raised regarding the checkout process, including difficulties in changing shipping addresses and the requirement for lengthy reviews, which can be frustrating. Overall, while customers express high satisfaction with the platform's offerings, there is room for improvement in user interface and customer support aspects.

I am an old customer
October 8, 2025
Updated review

I am an old customer. Very satisfied. Old books keep many interesting ideas for subjects considered trivial today after long brain washing.

Really straightforward and I appreciate being able to browse through different editions of the same book from one page, including the publisher/year info. I wanted to buy a book for an incomplete collection so that was exactly what I needed!

1) The book I clicked "Buy" on was not available once I logged in. I would have liked it to be reserved for me.
2) The payment form said there was a problem with the billing address, but the "Use the same address for billing" option was ticked. How can the billing address be a problem in this case?

It kept requesting my state, even though I'm in UK and it's a county and when I entered Somerset it's cancelled my order. Second time, I worked around it but I never had that before. And I never asked to be subscribed but somehow I am. Not a good experience.

Alibris sell books that may be hard to find elsewhere, good prices and customer service and above all, they're not part of Amazon.

Good experience, however there are not enough payment methods, PayPal would be a welcome addition.
